Knife Fighter Course: 1st session

Dengan Bismillah mula dikata...




One of the most practical weapon is the knife. It can be found almost everywhere and can be brought easily inside the clothes. It is small, almost invisible if hided rightly, and could be used to drive the slashing and stabbing attacks. That's why the knife is the fighter's favorite. Silat Seni Gayong is not a typical Silat system where the self-defense techniques are taught at the first place. To be a good blade "defender", we must be a good blade "attacker".

This concept perhaps exist in certain modern or traditional blade martial arts, like eskrima, arnis, krav maga, or kapap. That's why the knife training must be practical, and almost-like the real situation, whether in the street where we have the space a large as we need, or the room-like situation where the movement is limited.

Ok, for that purpose, Gayong Naga Rantau (Universiti Malaysia Pahang Gayong Association) organize the short course of "Knife Fighter". It is the 9 hours course, starts from last night training (3 hours) . The 2nd course will be on next Tuesday night, and the 3rd course will be on the next Thursday night. The course is conducted in two parts:

(1) The syllabus part (traditional Senaman, Gerakan, Asas Elakan, Asas Serangan, Kombat Pisau and Kunci Pisau).

(2) The practical part (different possible attacks angle : attacking, avoiding, approaching, applying the techniques, free sparring and street combat)

I had been personally in the knife threats when I was in France. So more and less, the experience of facing the attackers with blades does help me to understand the risks and the consequences during that critical situation. The target from this short course is that after 9 hours course, each student will be alert the possible outcomes of their action in dealing with the knives. The decision whether to surrender the belongings, or to fight to death, will be discussed at the end of the course.


Many thanks to all the participants of Knife Fighter Short Course last night!!! ;)

STUDENT'S CURIOSITY





My students asked me about Jinns

They asked me about Satan

They asked me about the Iblis

They asked me about Qarin

They asked me about Dewa & Dewi

They asked me about the Sihr (black magic)

They asked me about Ruqyah

They asked me about the Kebatinan in Gayong

They asked me about the Roh (soul)

Students will ask their teacher, because their job is to learn.

A teacher will answer them with his best knowledge, wisdom and opinions, because this is his job!

But when it comes too deep and too specific...

A better answer is "I don't know". "WaAllahua'lam". "Go ask Mr. X because he knows better than me"

This will let a student further his searching more everywhere.

But a teacher also must be a really good student.

He must have been too.

Being a teacher does not mean he's not a student anymore.

Learning is from the cradle to the tomb.

Those who thinks he is the master, he is still a student. But those who thinks that he's still a student, he is a true Master.

When we talk too much, we miss the training. When there's too much information, there will be less practical. The information is important, so that we do not walk in blind. But what is the goodness of a bright sight, while both legs are so weak to walk.

So must balance both of the side.


Badan akan mati tanpa Roh.
Roh akan mati tanpa Ilmu.
Ilmu akan mati tanpa Amalan.
Amalan akan mati tanpa Ikhlas.

Demo Naga Rantau at Night Of Warrior (photos)

After 3 weeks here in UMP, alhamdulillah I had a great time with my Gayong brothers and sisters. Last Saturday night we made a Demo for the Night of Warrior. Great enthusiasm, great energy and great integrity of the members made the demo superb, enjoyable and less stressful to everyone!

The demo started with Bunga Teratai and Bunga Tanjung danse. Then it was continued by the duel of "Hang Tuah" and "Hang Jebat". After that all of the performers came in where the acrobatic, one-to-one combat (Kombat, Kunci Hidup and Pukulan) and war-like situation took place. Then it was the Puteri's turn for the Pukulan Wanita, Pisau and Simbat. I too participated directly, performed a Pentas Tekpi versus Tembung 2 with two Panglimas. I just couldn't watch them jumping and kicking, it caused me itchy badly everywhere! That's why the demo allow the "orang tua" like us to have a chance to become like a teenager again! ;)

Then 3 Panglimas, came in to show a great Elakan Parang and Pentas Parang with marvelous fire sparks in that night. The demo then was ended by the Beladiri techniques by three Puteri against three malicious Samseng. Here then the use of Payung (umbrella), Tas tangan (Handbag) and Kerusi (chair) were applied to prove the efficiency of Gayong technique in the street combat.

Many thanks to everyone, and even the Karate and Tae Kwon Do team for their nice demo, and to all of the public for watching the demo. Next demo must be better than the last time. Bravo to Anak-anak Gayong Naga Rantau from me, Cikgu Farizal and Cikgu Zaki...
