This video also dated since few months ago.
From Gerakan we go to Elakan, either Elak Kosong or Elak Pukul. From Elak Pukul we could proceed to Pukulan. From Pukulan we could proceed to Kuncian, or vice-versa. Either Kunci Mati or Kunci Hidup, it's the "Badi-Dan" that counts.
*"Badi-Dan" means those who is faster, in Kelantanese dialect.
The basic Elakan system in Silat Seni Gayong is 49 techniques. Originally it was only 10 Elakan, and the rest are all in the Pukulan, Kombat and Kunci.
The Elakan syllabus is then completed by the Elakan Kaki, Buah Kaki, Buah Lutut and Buah Siku.
All of these lessons were the most basic thing we learn in Silat Seni Gayong. The reason why it is learned at the beginning is that these lessons are the most important training one should know. Even in Capoeira, I asked my Master. "Why in Capoeira we don't learn how to block the attack?" He simply looked at me and smiled. "Could you block a moving lorry Tranquinho???" I said "no". And he continued "Then you have to know how to escape from the 'attack'"!......
That answer complete my understanding in Elakan......
that sounds "YOI" isn't? ;)
As one old Master said once to me. YOI is hidden in Gerakan, Elakan, and the movements of cub.. (Gerakan Anak Harimau)....
