Hii Everyone !!! Silat is an Indonesian martial arts. It is based on certain principles which we will discuss below. 1. Combat Principles :-- a) All Combat is Relational -- You can't effectively "defend" yourself if you do not understand the relationship between yourself and the attacker. Every time the attacker moves or you move, the most appropriate angles and opportunities for counters change. Recognize that and adapt accordingly. Understand the techniques and be adaptable enough to change a failing technique mid-stream. b) Use Everything -- Do not focus on the hands, feet or the body alone. Use it all, varying the attacks and tools used. This makes it difficult for an attacker to build a defense once a successful attack has begun. Also, using the same attack over and over allows an attacker to make strategy and counter. Use the environment, found weapons and generally sneaky or confusing tactics. c) Reaction Bad, Action Good -- The positive to havi...

Be highly proficient at the few techniques of gross motor skills that will actually work, like low thrust kicks, elbow and knee strikes, eye-gouging, palm heel strike etc. 4.

For example, run 2.5 kms first, then try them. This simulates the exhaustion of the battle. Instead of sparring with one person, go up against two or three.

Hii Everyone !!! The 4 Elements are :-- 1. Space -- What distances are involved ? 2.
