17:30 minutes…i like it when Sifu Cecep explains that during training, he always promote control and nothing but control and no stabbing. It is because during training it becomes a habit and stabbing someone is not good.

Cecep is currently the most well known SEA defence artist and probably the best ever in the region

Master Cecep is truly a master in every sense of the word. So much philosophy and yet the moves are practical. Respect for the silat martials arts system.

I admire Sifu Cecep. Martial arts train the connection between our body and mind, and it sharpens our awareness of our body and senses. That's a great heritage for our younger generations. Thank you Cifu Evan.

Pencak Silat techniques is fast and powerful, therefore deadly. Initially this is traditional war art practice only by war warrior, soldier or royal family. After Indonesian independence once a war tradition with deadly techniques have the ambition to compete publicly in sport tournament. Sukarno as Indonesian 1st President at that time realize like other martial art from Japan, Pencak Silat must spread to the globe as a culture diplomacy for Indonesia. That were all the rules came into play. Once a deadly techniques used for defending the country against aggressor had to be adjusted as a sport and rules have to be introduced to minimize the potential injuries for the athletes. Multiple trial and exhibition have been done during 50s - 60s period, its not without casualties, there were some warriors passed away during the exhibition or trial competition. Rules have been perfected ever since, with 1 objective, prevent fatal injury. Still nowadays, broken bones, passed out and broken teeth, are not uncommon during Pencak Silat competition. If you come to Indonesian and stay a bit longer there, there are still some Pencak Silat school that intentionally dont compete on sport event. Why, because their techniques and teaching still not adjusted to the sport rules. Therefore either they will hurt their opponent badly, or they will loose in the competition because they cant use most of their techniques without violate the regulation. In Indonesia as the origin of Pencak Silat if you traveled to east from the west or vice versa, you will notice different region and province will have different styles (Jurus), different techniques, fighting stance, weaponry, etc. Unlike in Malaysia and Singapore that you may find similar style and technique everywhere. I can tell you, northern sumatera region style is similar with Malaysian style of Pencak Silat, the ethnic group is basically the same, its Malay ethnic group. You go to southern part of Sumatera in West Sumatera region, already different style. You go further to Jakarta, the capital city, you will find style that heavily influenced by KungFu especially on hands techniques, with less kicking techniques. You go further to Central Java, East Java, you will start finding higher fighting stance position with more kicking techniques, heavily influenced by techniques from Majapahit Kingdom era. In West Java you will find more balance between hands and kicking techniques, between Jakarta Betawi Style of Pencak Silat and Central-East Java style. Ideal Pencak Silat journey if you really want to understand and feel the tradition is at least @3 months in : - Minangkabau style (West Sumatera). - Malay style (Riau province). - Betawi style (Jakarta) - West Java style (i see in your video you have met Kang Cecep Rahman, a warrior/pendekar from Panglipur style, so consider its already represented by him) - Central - East Java style. - Bali style. Those are at least major Pencak Silat styles in Indonesia which has different training & teaching method, as well as different techniques.

Thank you, Master EVANTAI and JERRY, for sharing this beautiful video of your trip to Indonesia. I naturally have a deep respect for traditional disciplines such as Kung Fu and Wing Tsun.I am a student of the Panglipur Ghali school and I am very grateful to you for having shown, how traditional martial arts can be combined, to enrich and remain very contemporary. thank you for the quality of the teachings you were able to translate and share. Thank you, both, for this very beautiful initiative.🙏

Alhamdulillah silat Indonesia 🇮🇩 makin mendunia, semoga terus mengharumkan negeri kita tercinta 🤲 Madura hadir ❤️

What in the LOVE for Martial Arts. They show you how BEAUTIFUL their styles are, with Humility and grace. "If you practice an open style that stabs, you will unconsciously stab and maim. Thats why they practice control, to honor both families to not start a war. BEAUTIFUL.

i'm used to learn silat but but my base are from 'zahir 9' style . the longer u learn silat, the more u need to learn control as silat actually training your subconscious reflect to incoming attack. so u need to learn what is defined as attack or u would be in auto mode and attacking even the harmless prank. So that's why the latter stage focusing more on meditation and mental conditioning. and its taking toooooo long to master😥 these are the main school in my country malaysia. Gayong( Comprehensive Style. I'm under this branch line sub, there are many linage in this style),Cekak (Grappling Style. mostly focusing on defense and counter) Lincah(Speed style) Sendeng(Tilt style) Kunci (locking style) Gerak Tepat( Accuracy Style. mostly one shot people in vital part style) Kuntau Tekpi( Hard style. main weapon is Tekpi) Serimau Hitam( literal meaning is black tiger style but actually its the combination of 5 art that is Silat Wali Suci, Silat Jawa, Silat Cekak, Silat Sambarani and Silat Gayong)

I LOVE THIS!! It's so clear and so in-depth. Different from those martial art videos the west made. Indeed, we, Asians, are the most alike to each other.

Its good to see that Silat can introduced to foreign people. From my perspective Silat it's like Kung Fu based on the move. Greetings from Indonesia. ✌🇮🇩

That long haired teacher was in an insane action movie. The Raid 2 i think...

both of you are lucky, you get directly from great guru'of silat , and Greetings from Malaysia, 🙏may all silatists to able to preserve ,culture silat to next generations🙏👍and tq so much for sifu@Guru Cecep Arif Rahman,teams& EVANTAI and JERRY,..great documentary of silat'

Thank you for reviewing our traditional martial art and introduced it to more people out there, we very appreciated it

Master Evan Tai and Jerry... Both of you definitely got my respect🙏🏽🙏🏽 This videon is not only a documentary about martial arts, but this is also a documentary about how people of martial arts digging the other deeper side of martial arts, wich are respect and always studying and learning to develop themselves. Mad respect for both Masters for successfully delivering this inspiring video about Pencak Silat and martial arts. And for Guru Cecep Arif Rahman... Well, what can I say, he's The... Cecep Arif Rahman. I respect his teachings and his pholosophy in martial arts

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful video! Thank you very much for sharing it with us all! All the wise words from the different Silat masters and practitioners involved are truly inspiring!

I'm Indonesian, and I'm so proud when I watch our culture go international, thank you so much for this 2 person from China who introduce our traditional fight technique like Silat to the world. Thank you brothers.

We are happy and appreciate you because you have explored the silat and introduce for your community and the other. Thanks.

A absolute diamond of a video. This contains so many things it needs to be watched many times. Silat has so much to offer

This is a very good martial arts documentary. It shows important details both in the technicality and the philosophy of various Silat schools.

Beuuh Shifu Cecep is one of the best Silat motivator 🇲🇨🙏

I'm impressed at the speed of Jerry and Evans learned the fast moves despite being new to the art. A very well documented video. Hope to see more of such videos again soon. Well done guys.

man I'm currently addicted to watching Silat and such varations and watching how quick and practical it is

Keren! Keren! Keren! Pertukaran kebudayaan, pembelajaran tehnik, melawan juara dunia, tapi selalu ada kesamaan...yaitu stay humble. Good job you guys! you guys shows the world what martial arts really are.

Sifu Paman : You should learn to defend yourself from the attacker so that you are not hurt and also your attacker is not hurt (next scene) Sifu Paman : Then you grab his hand! pull it! and break it!

Very good silat teacher, very good values. Respect.

從中可啓發更多武術空間～三角馬～贴身睁～擒拿手～短橋發力～可思考更多不須大開大合不用太多气力～很好～多谢各位師父🙇‍♂️

Martial Art journey! Very interesting ,Thank you..🙏😎

A very well documented video. Thank you, sir! Respect!

this guy is a very detailed person and he is going to be a great fighter and instructor. Thank you for the great video guys

That is by far the best video that I have seen depicting the essence of martial art, in that case mixed kungfu and silat, digging right into it. Bravo all the way. In a way quite in the direction of aikido in the sense of the perfection. The teacher is The guy playing Mad Dog or something in one of the movie with Tony Jaa right?

watching this several times and i always got something new from this. great documentary! may be the best there is for silat

bangga sebagai orang indonesia...orang asing saja jauh2 mau belajar silat keren.

I loved this video. I have studied a Kung Fu style called KunTao which was taken from China to Indonesia and has coexisted for long time with Silat, and in fact there's a style called KunTao Silat or Kun Lum Pai. In my school I have studied KunTao Silat as well. KunTao and KunTao Silat were taken from Indonesia to my country Mexico.

Hermoso es una clase!!! Thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ los sigo!!!!!!!!

Pencak silat is a martial art native to Indonesia. From the past, pencak silat has been taught to defend the warriors of the kingdoms in the archipelago. The martial arts taught are varied, both bare-handed and armed. the techniques in pencak silat were initially lethal because the science used was to kill the enemy. There are many aspects of knowledge in pencak silat. there's even magic, called kanuragan.

Great spirit with a lot of sense of practical humour 😂.. It's fascinating to watch him and you guys. I respect your humble response 🙌

The fact that they are practicing over instruments show the traditional art of it. Such as capoeira and muay thai. Love it. I am a judo and aikido practitioner since 15 years but I don’t find the essence that you can feel in pencak. Less in judo that in aikido. It is the way like the mandalorian would say.

Mantap kang cecep mengharumkan nama Indonesia terutama kota garut

Pencak silat bela diri asli Indonesia yg mendunia 👍

Beautiful Work! Excellent technique.....

No body hurts... Make peace both of you. 💪😀👍 Salam satu nafas 🙏 from Indonesia.

Greatly enjoyed this. Learning about other arts can highlight so much that is different but also give insight to what is the same in philosophy.

Absolute pleasure to watch this. And humbling too. So nice to see martial artists keen to learn from other styles. Such an amazing video all in all. Great story, well edited, graded etc. So much information throughout. I’m amazed and extremely grateful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I hope that by studying various martial arts, brotherhood and peace will be created, thank you both for covering Indonesia's proud pencak silat art

"SILAT" if studied more deeply from various sources of silat masters, is taken from the word "Silaturahhim" / "Silaturahmi", which is a group that gathers from various corners to become an association of friendship and even brotherhood who learn about the science of 'Self-Defense' for the sake of war (in colonial period) precisely in Indonesia, Southeast Asia. And in the end Silat continued to be known and studied by many people, became hereditary and continues to grow until now

Silat is not merely just a martial art, it is an art/ a weapon of war, originally designed to kill as fast as you can in the battlefield.

Thank you for the video... many things to learn

From what I have witnessed, there were different forms and styles of Silat martial arts from different masters.

Wow.. . Sungguh indah bela diri Asia ini kungfu,wing Chun and silat Nusantara

Really awesome video.. I watch till the end.. I think both of you getting more stronger now😁

Silat is truly deadly martial arts in close combat fight. the faster techniques you're, short times for enemies to react then get killed. That's why when you're silat training key focus always controls, defence and protect yourself and the rivals.

In the chase for money, these beautiful life skills are becoming rarer by day...I vision of a classroom of students learning math science language culture and martial arts.

Yes basically silat is for self-defence. But there are also deadly moves that only require 2, 3 steps.

I enjoyed this program very much

Fabulous. Thank you for sharing your experience. 🙏🏻

Hi Jerry. Great work as always, and best of luck with the show and more in the future. 🙏

I really like this video, it contains many lessons both from the martial side and from the philosophy.

Thank you es muy bueno repasar!!!!!! Buenisimo!!!!@ thank @ GRACIAS!!!!

Beauty of different cultures !!!

Shifu Cecep a Silat expert, is wise and philanthropic. My respects 🙏👏👍

You thought us how to be humble and objective in learning another form of martial art. No martial arts is bigger than the other. Always evolve and keep learning. May we also get to explore and learn from your martial art. Thank you!

I just knew this channel, go explore every Asian martial arts brothers ❤️

Es hermosooooo los sigo de muy chica!!!! Ok Adrenalina pura Yes❤

alhamdulillah trimakasih sudah membawa nama baik indonesia..salam persaudaraan dari jawa

di dalam video ini ada seni beladiri dari (PAKSI, PANGLIPUR, aliran SETIA HATI dan lainnya)

I'm surprised at cecep's way of teaching silap. So humble and gentle. Much different from his usual role in the movie..😅

I would love to train with Jerry and Evan and cepcep. I have studied Chinese kempo and balintawak and American boxing for years. I would forget it all when training with these three. MG San Diego california USA 🇺🇸

oh my God this is so interesting, it's like learning science and "the why and how" we must applied it

Beautiful knowledge here bless you for sharing this experience..

Bangga dan bangga jadi orang Indonesia... Komentar Overpround bgus banget di semua konten yang bgus, di channel KERAPAN SAPI MADURA bikin bangga dan bangga,

Watching from England. Really good stuff

can you turn on subtitles for translation ? Thanks..

Very good knife defense, realistic and effective. Silat is a very good art, I like it.

Great video, with admirable masters in a country with exciting culture of martial arts. Formidable was the weapons part, and more known the weaponless part, with remarkable footwork and tactics of "fishing". The competitive part showed thealmost eternal rule, shorter people are fasster but need to fight close range, andthe tallers one have long reach but are slower. Keeping distance and waiting for the attack worked best. Both Wing Tchun practitioners from HOng Kong were efficient in taking over SILAT. Competittive sports between different styles are somehow reeducing the differences between schools as it is here in Europe, too. Congratulations to all and keep on Best regards. Paul,68, retired instructor of Karate.

👍👍👍.. Keep it up guys..glad to see u guys go to another country and learn about their martial art.. The best thing u guys compare it with the polite way..the respect is not everyone can make.. Usually they learn and just to find the weakness.. And finally they just say their martial art is the best from others.. Not very like that kind of.. Good guys.. Keep it up👍

Bangga gue sebagai bangsa Indonesia 😊😊

Love sifu Paman, he is so hilarious 😂

Another great discipline from another wonderful culture .

Making me love silat more and more

Dengan mempelajari bermacam teknik beladiri, akan memperkaya dan mengetahui kekurangan diri sendiri 👍

I was born in indonesia , i never learn silat , but i m a karate-ka , , I was not introduced silat , in my life , but i think we have a similarity, in karate (wado-ryu) we have a philosophies "flowing like water", and "bushido" ,you know it, if you are a karate-ka

Guru Cecep Arief Rahman.. He is one of my fav martial artist! Get well soon for him..

Excelente Maestro!!!!

Having studied Filipino Martial Arts, this is all very familiar. This is so much like the Silat forms in Filipino Martial Arts. I love watching this. I wish I was not so old. I would go on and study so much more! Thanks!

"save yourself, without hurting the opponent" 6 min later: "Poke the eyes, break the arm" 😭😭😭

Thank you master evanTai🙏

I like the explanation,its good to learn new technic👍

he is the guy who take down john wick twice

that master appeared in John Wick 3, very impressive skills.

love all martial arts for defences our life from bad things, not for hurt each others

It really rewarding to see outsider especially the Chinese from Hong Kong come to our archipelago to learn seni silat while most of the Chinese from Singapore practise other than this legendary martial art. Sad but true.

the self defence that could leave the attacker bedridden

7:31 i saw this person on the film called "The Raid 2", his role ( i think ) or his name is Assassin, so the Mc was fighting this person. I always thought that It was all choreography on film only.. i never thought he's actually on a master level and the Mc was the one that act choreography for that film lol ^_^

very wonderful thank you

Sudah lama tidak nonton acara Kung Fu Quest. Sekarang ada Silat juga yaa keren

Silat + combi knife = 绝杀 , when in WW2 many Japanese soldiers died due to close combat.

Silat was originally invent to fight during early colonial invasion on Indonesia in early 6 centuries, it's meant to kill, which is why lots of it's moves are deadly n could cause fatal injuries if not careful.

Thanks for coming to Indonesia

Itu sangat bagus...menjelajahi semua ilmu bela diri dan tahu kelebihan dan kekurangan nya...akhir nya semua kembali kepada si praktisi tersebut....
