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...

GAYONG BERGAYUT, KATA BERSAHUT

PSSGM UMP (NAGA RANTAU)

Assalamualaikum wbt...

Saya dengan sukacitanya mengucapkan tahniah kepada anak-anak Gayong UMP yang baru sahaja menunaikan kewajipan mereka dalam AGM tempohari. Kepada yang terpilih, saya doakan dan mengharapkan agar Gayong UMP akan terus menigkatkan kualiti pengajian Silat Seni Gayong, justeru memperbanyakkan program-program yang membina sepanjang tahun 2011 ini. Nama gelaran untuk PSSGMUMP juga sebulat suara dipilih sebagai Naga Rantau.

Saya sebagai wakil warga PSSGM UMP dengan berbesar hati menjemput Tuan/Puan, untuk menyertai latihan Silat Seni Gayong di Gelanggang PSSGM UMP pada setiap Selasa malam dan Khamis malam pada pukul 9 p.m. Sebarang pertanyaan tentang yuran pendaftaran boleh dirujuk pada hicom pssgm UMP di facebook PSSGMUMP (NAGA RANTAU).

Alhamdulillah saya dengan rasa rendah diri dan berbesar hati mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Cikgu Rahim YDP PSSGM Pahang, Cikgu Farizal Gurulatih PSSGM UMP, En. Zaki Penasihat PSSGM UMP, serta Gurulatih2, dan Saudara Saudari Segayong di UMP kerana sudi menerima saya sebagai perantau yang menumpang di bumi orang. Ecececehh... tersasterakan diri la pulak heheheh. Apa-apa pun harapannya bersama kita realisasikan "persaudaraan Gayong" itu sendiri dan semoga segala imu yang dikongsi dan dicurahkan di dalam gelanggang akan mendidik setiap anak Gayong menjadi individu yang "Kamil" (sempurna) dan selaras dengan visi dan misi UMP itu sendiri...

Teristimewa buat PSSGM Naga Rantau. Lukisan pakai ballpen jer. Nak hilangkan boring malam2 hehehe

MY PERSONAL NOTES OF AIKIDO

APPRECIATING THE KNOWLEDGE BY DOCUMENTING IT

Attitude in Dojo (Adab Gelanggang)

Almost similar technique found in Silat Seni Gayong

Tapak L and Tapak V

More Tapak movements

I learned the Aikido (aikido budo & tai chi) under Sensei Jean Claude CHAMPAGNEUX for two years, during my engineering diploma at Montlucon. Although the time was so short to know the real art of the Aikido, especially as a busy student like me, I never forget to write down everything from what I've learned at the Dojo. "Peu est suffira tant que c'est avec concentration et devotion!!!" (little bit would be enough if it's done with concentration and devotion) I am lucky to be confortable of drawing, sketching or fast-writing. Eventhough it was 6 years ago, the note is still there, and it was never a lost. Arigatou gozaimasu Sensei!!!

Ayat Batoshtum

Menjawab soalan dari seorang adik ex kamilian. Berkenaan ayat untuk lupakan kekasih lama.

Masa ambo muda2 mencari ilmu dulu, ayat ni sangat la famous. Ambo ambil dari sahabat, yang ambil dari soerang Mufti satu negeri pada waktu itu.

"Wa Iza Batoshtum, Batoshtum Jabbarin"

Dari pada Mufti tersebut, sahabat ambo memberitahu ada tiga kelebihan untuk dipakai. Dari Guru ambo di Pasir Puteh pula, ada menyebut dua lagi kelebihan dia. Tukang urut keluargo ambo pula menyebut satu kelebihan.

Bersanad dari Mufti:
1) Doa ketika menjilat jari selepas makan
2) Ketika diganggu Jin atau sebangsanya, dibacakan pada sesuatu (anak batu contohnya) dan dilempar ke tempat makhluk itu "bertenggek". Dikatakan boleh terbakar jika mengena...
3) Doa untuk lupakan bekas kekasih...

Bersanad dari Cikgu ambo:
1) Doa untuk memagar rumah
2) Doa untuk membuat batas-batas di sawah padi agar tidak runtuh

Di sini ambo nok tekankan pasal ayat untuk melupakan kekasih tu...

Kaedah:

Kaedah dia, sediakan segelas air. Masa tengah pegang gelas tu, pandang air, bayang wajah kekasih kita yang kita mahu lupakan, dan ingat namanya juga. Pasang niat untuk lupakannya. Baca Bismillah dan doa di atas, kemudian minum seteguk air. ucap alhamdulillah. Baca Bismillah dan doa, minum seteguk lagi. Ucap alhamdulillah. Baca sekali lagi Bismillah dan doa, kemudian minum seteguk lagi. Ucap alhamdulillah. Minum selebihnya air di dalam gelas itu....

Buat setiap kali nak minum, selama tiga hari. Mengikut pengalaman ambo ni, insyaAllah menjadi hehehehe. Bagi student atau pelajar yang break up, memang hidup tersangat lah resah. Hati pun sakit, jiwa tak tenteram, mata selalu bergenang air mata. Hidup bagaikan tersepit. So jangan teruskan kehidupan semacam ini. Study itu priority kita. Dengan kaedah ini, tidaklah bermaksud kita hilang ingatan lupakan mamat atau minah tu. Yang hilang cuma perasaan marah, sakit hati, cemburu dan dendam kita apabila kita diperalat, disakitkan, atau dipermainkan.

Hikmah:

InsyaAllah kita akan diberi satu kefahaman oleh Allah swt, bahawa soal jodoh bukan hak kita. Bahkan, segala soal, segala urusan, bukan hak kita. Segala sesuatu terjadi ada hikmahnya. KIta sahaja yang tidak nampak. Kita suka sesuatu benda, tapi dalam pengetahuan Allah Yang Maha Mengetahui, benda itu tidak bagus untuk kita. Maka Allah dengan perancanganNya menjauhkan benda itu dari kita. Kita benci satu benda, tapi dalam pengetahuan Allah Yang Maha Bijaksana benda itu baik untuk kita. Maka Allah akan permudahkan dan perdekatkan pada kita...

Jadi buat adik-adik yang masih belajar, fokus dulu dalam pelajaran. Perjalanan masih jauh. Utamakan ilmu. Jangan dikejar cinta tu, buat relaks2 sudah. Hehhehe. Ilmu dunia dan ilmu ukhrawi kena seiring. Tapi kalo ade suami2 atau isteri2 orang yang kena "panahan cinta" dengan orang luar tu, insyaAllah boleh amalkan juga... Ambo ambil doa ini dan sudah diuji keberkesanannya, jadi ambo sebar2kan pada semua. Hak molek ambil, hak tak molek tinggal. Maaf dan ampun kalau ada tersalah cakap, atau terlebih sudu dari kuah. Hayyakumullah...

Being A Husband, To Be A Father...

Wow. The feeling to have the first baby is really making me unrest. My Mom keeps telling me whether I had bought this and that. For the first time in my life, I went to shopping mall to look, to choose and to buy the tiny wearings, diapers, and all of the accessories for my future little one. We go to the maternity clinic once per week now and the baby could come anytime. The baby is OK, alhamdulillah. I hope that the process is smooth and easy for my wife, the baby and for me.


Eventhough I have asked many things here and there about the maternity since the beginning, there is always some points or details I miss. To facilitate the baby delivery, everyday (8-9 months) we start to use the "Minyak Selusuh" (Selusuh oil). It is made by using the Kelapa Hijau with certain method. Since it is really difficult for me to found the Kelapa Hijau, Cikgu Raouf, one of elder Gayong Gurulatih, kindly gave me a cup of Minyak Selusuh. Most of the people is confused about the "Kelapa Hijau". It is definitely NOT a young and green coconut that we can find easily at the market or at the Gerai Air Kelapa. The Kelapa Hijau (literally as Green Coconut) has a pink buds at the top of it, while the normal coconut has the yellow buds. Thats small part is actually the leaves will develop. The first time I saw the Kelapa Hijau when visiting Ustaz Zahari (elder Gayong Gurulatih) and Cikgu Sani Morni (Gayong Master) at Selangor.


Air Selusuh (the Selusuh Water) also is prepared, to be sipped when it's the time to deliver the baby (about 5cm opening). Yesterday's visit to Cikgu Raouf's house allow me also to learn the post-delivery action that a husband must do. How to prepare the bath for your wife with the seven, nine or eleven herbs and flowers is the first time I heard about it. Other things that she must do like "Bertuku" (Put a stone on fire for a while, then wrapped it in a cloth, then massage the stomach with it), "Bersalai" (Resting on a wood bed frame while hot charcoal underneath it), wearing the Bengkung (large cloths to wrap on the wife's body from little bit under the breast until lower part of the buttock), drinking the Turmeric, Heena and other plants' extracts and many more traditional healing to help the woman to recover her health, rearrange her reproductive system, burning the fat, slimming the line, produce a healthy milk for the baby etc.


And never forget to clean the "Uri" (plasenta). Although wrapping it with white cloth (or pillow sack) in a coconut shell (with nails, needles etc) after cleaning it with the salt and Asam (dried acidic fruit) is just a tradition ritual, the Islamic scholars insist that the plasenta is a part of human body, and must be treated honorably. It's the baby's twin and the mother's body part. From soil we came, and to it we return. After cleaning it, it must be buried in the earth. Some told that it must be in a place where people pass by. Normally the midwife will do this, but who knows if I have to do it myself!


Adat Melenggang, which is done normally during the 7th month and up is forgotten by most of the people nowadays. Many people thinks that it is 'khurafat" or "bidaah", without knowing exactly what it is. It is a tradition ritual, done by a Bidan (midwife), to check the healtiness of the woman and the baby, his/her position, and even his/her sex by doing the traditional method. Some even move the coconut on the stomach to devine the sex! ;) It is true about the "suspicious" rituals during the Melenggang, but most of Bidan nowadays aware of which is khurafat and which is Islamic method in doing the ritual. It is a question of searching a good Bidan after all. After the ritual, it is continued with the Hajat prayer to ask for the easiness and safe for the child birth. InsyaAllah.


I write this article mainly to reply the question of one of Gayong sister in France who is interested of knowing what is the Malay tradition regarding the childbirth. Hope this will satisfy your request. Well, sorry for this non-Silatrelated article. It's just a bizarre feeling, the mix of anxious and excited feeling that surrounds me! Pray for us so that everything is good insyaAllah... Amen! ;)

DATO' AMBASSADORS TO KELANTAN

The late Cikgu Ahmad Lazim with sword

(photo source: Cikgu Onn)

Cikgu Awang Daud in action

(photo source: Cikgu Nik Iznan)

Dato' Meor Abdul Rahman sent many of his best Gurulatih to set up Silat Seni Gayong in Kelantan. During that time, most of the Gurulatihs lived with Dato'. Their work was only to train Silat Seni Gayong and to teach it whereever Dato' sent them. That's one of the reason why Silat Seni Gayong becomes the most popular Silat style in Malaysia. Dato' Meor created one complete martial art system, and created a group of qualified and experienced Gayong teacher (and fighter) to spread the art all over Malaysia and internationally.

In Kelantan, if I'm not mistaken, the first Gurulatih who was sent to live and to teach Silat Seni Gayong was the late (Allahyarham) Cikgu Ahmad Lazim. When the Kelantanese people started to like him, Dato' commanded him back to Taiping and sent the late (Allahyarham) Cikgu Haji Harun Haji Salleh and Cikgu Awang Daud. After some moments, Cikgu Haji Harun was commanded by Dato' to leave Kelantan, and it was Cikgu Awang Daud alone to continue teaching in the state.

These three Gurulatihs are those who played a lot a role as a Gayong teacher that created Gayong Kelantan nowadays. Eventhough many other senior Gurulatihs also came and taught the Kelantanese, only these three who were full-timer. After Cikgu Awang left Kelantan, the Gayong in Kelantan was already strong enough to develop until now.

Nowadays, Kelantanese still imported Gayong teachers occasionally to teach the true art of Silat Seni Gayong. Cikgu Amin Hamzah and Cikgu Izahar Wahab (Pak Ngah) are among the Gurulatih in Perak that come regularly to teach the young Kelantanese who will be the leaders that lead Gayong in Kelantan one day. From Kedah, of course, the Kelantanese also will never leave Cikgu Awang Daud and Cikgu Majid Mat Isa. These tradition of "seeking the knowledge" will remains in the heart of Kelantanese people forever. Amin...

***Al-Fatihah to all late Gayong Gurulatihs***

WHEN WE ARE BECOMING OLD...

Tok Wan likes to talk with youngman, sharing his opinion and experience

When we are still young, we can do anything that we want. We become of what we wish for. We do so much effort for that we are known and recognized by people in our field. But nothing is last forever except the Creator himself.

Tok Wan too, was very well known long time ago. He was a Muay Thai fighter, and was also a Kru (Teacher) after retiring from fighting. He was born in 1921 and now he is 90 years old. When he taught Muay Thai at a "Pondok" (religious school), no one know he was a great fighter at that time. No one in the school knew he was "Abe Zin", the undefeatable Muay Thai boxer. Until when there was a Muay Thai tournament, and the organizer put the flyers everywhere in the town, the teachers and schools at the Pondok realized finally that he is the Great Teacher Abe Zin. He shared also his experience of going hunting in the thick jungle. Kambing Gurun (serow), Rusa (Deer), Kijang & mouse deer (barking deer & mousedeer), Beruang (bear) , Badak Sumbu (Rhino) and even Harimau (Tiger) were among the animals that he had hunted. Sometimes, he placed a trap and got a wildboar. He also was close with the late Almarhum Sultan Ibrahim, and Sultan Yahya of Kelantan. He said in joking, "that's why I was "gedebe"! "


But this old man advices me repeatedly. He said that everything that we do to get famous, money or rank, will vanish anytime. If we had a chance, we will live long enough to understand that too much effort was done for our live in this world. But most of the time we forget to prepare for afterlife. He said that now God takes the family members, the health, the wealth and the fame from him. But he thanks to God as he still able to do his religious obligation.


And for me, I ask myself. How do I want to live and to leave this world. Coming to my ears, one Doa after the prayer. Wa Hayatana Hayatal Ulama', Wa Mautana Mautanash Shuhada'. (And our life as a life of scholars, and our death as a death of martyrs)

Tempat Baru, Ragam Baru, Cerita Baru...

New Place, New Style, New Story...
How do I feel today? ;) Happy, confident, and ambitious.
But I'm damn sure everything will change tomorrow! lol ;)

Alhamdulillah I start working since last Friday with my first employer. I were asked to register to the Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering at the Universiti Malaysia Pahang. By luck, I just found and have moved in a rent house, somewhere 16 km from my work. Cheap rent and comfortable house. Seems everyone is nice here. I had a chance to meet the Anak Gayongs at UMP under the direction of Cikgu Farizal last Friday night. I haven't met yet Cikgu Rahim though, the chief of PSSGM in Pahang if i'm not mistaken. But insyaAllah soon enough I'll meet him.

This is my first post in my first office. Sounds big. Hehehe. I hope that my presence here in Pahang will be convinient to everyone. I hope that I am not considered as an outsider who come to take the Gelanggang of anyone, and claim as mine. Wanau'zubullahi min zalik. It's enough of what I had as experience. I am new here so I really need the guidance and advice where and when to start. As a Gurulatih, a day without training, Gelanggang and students, it's a burden and itching me a lot. So I'd better settle everything down as quick as possible.

The first one who welcomed me at UMP.

Gayong France is placed for the moment under the responsibility of my rightman Cikgu Benjamin PONS, seems I will be here in Pahang for couple of years insyaAllah before going back to France. I hope that they will manage to come and participate in our France Gurulatih course here in Malaysia soon....

OK then, everything is already written. I think that I'll get many benefit and chance to learn with the old Silat Masters here in Pahang. Amin amin amin.... ;) To all Cikgus, Gurulatihs, Jurulatihs, Brothers and Sisters of Gayong in Pahang, Salam Perkenalan and many thanks for everything...

SOALAN ADIK BERBENGKUNG MERAH

Jangan sekali kali lupakan sumpah dan ikrar kita semasa dimandikan....

Adik ambo juga anak gayong. Yang sebenarnya, dulu2, abang sulung ambo pun anak gayong di UKM, kakak sulung, kakak nombor dua, adik perempuan, adik lelaki lepas dia dan adik lelaki yang bongsu semua anak Gayong dari sek. men. keb. kamil. Gelanggang Pasir Puteh. Yang lain semua sempat hijau. Adik bongsu ni alhamdulillah baru merah. Sebagai jurulatih muda, terlalu banyak yang dia perlu tahu dalam Gayong. Abang dia ni pun bukannya orang lama, cuma adalah sikit2 pengetahuan tu.

Peringkat ini, anak Gayong mula tapak pertama nya dalam pencarian ilmu Gayong yang sebenar. Sebelum ini, yang dia tahu hanya Buka Tutup gelanggang, mandi tapak seni dan minyak, Kunci mati 21, Pukulan 21, elakan2, sikit simbat, sikit pisau, sikit keris, dan seni tangan kosong yang lain. Bukannya tak ada maklumat berkenaan Gayong dalam internet, berkenaan Mahagurunya, Guru2 nya, adat2 nya, silibus2 nya, tetapi bukan senang menggapai tanpa panduan. Inilah peranan setiap Abang dalam Gayong. Menyampaikan ilmu tanpa disembunyikan.

Paling mudah, ambo beri Adik tu "study" buku karangan Dato' Wan Fauzi, "Mahaguru", "Selayang Pandang" dan "Adat dan Kuasa Organisasi Gayong". Beberapa malam juga dia study. Habis yang tu ambo bagi lagi buku gayong peribadi ambo, catitan berkenaan Gayong. Ambo juga meluangkan masa bersama dia berkenaan perbezaan "mazhab" dalam Gayong. Perbezaan pertubuhan juga ambo ceritakan. Mana2 cerita dan pengalaman guru tua yang ambo tahu ambo sampaikan padanya. Bulat matanya bila tiba bab kehebatan orang2 lama. Tapi menggeleng kepalanya bila bab perpecahan Gayong....

Sebagai seorang Jurulatih, Gurulatih atau orang yang sudah tahu serba sedikit, amat perlu kita melengkapkan diri dengan maklumat, berita, cerita dan ilmu. Adik Gayong bertanya: Yang terutama, agak2nya, betapa ramaikah yang tahu maksud asal kenapa belajar Gayong. Kenapa kita mesti belajar Gayong? Ke mana arah tujuan kita??? Apa yang kita perlu cari dan tuntut dari orang2 lama? Siapakah orang "lama" yang sebenarnya?? Yang manakah ilmu Gayong yang tulen, atau yang mana yang telah dipecah-pecahkan? Mana yang ibu, mana yang anak? Apakah adat2 dalam Gayong? Apakah upacara2nya?? Kenapa perlunya setiap adat itu dilaksanakan? Apakah kuasa sandang, bengkung, gelaran dan ijazah? Dan yang pasti, apakah amalan2 kebatinan dalam Gayong? Dan apakah penamat ilmu Gayong itu..???

Apabila kita tahu semua ini, yang terkadang memakan masa yang sangat lama, maka hati kita akan tenang. Hati tetap tenang walau difitnah, diperlekeh dan dicaci. Kerana orang yang berilmu tak jatuh darjatnya bila difitnah orang yang jahil. Sepanjang duduk di Pasir Putih, rasa gembira juga dapat meluangkan masa dengan adik2 Gayong yang sudi mendegar nasihat. Ambo bukanlah seorang Guru, tapi hanya seorang abang yang sedar arah tujuan kita dalam berGayong. Ambo pun masih berguru, masih dahagakan ilmu setitik dua dari orang2 lama. Yang ambo faham dalam mencari guru yang sejati ini ialah, Guru yang terbaik, dapat membantu seorang murid yang lemah kepada cemerlang. Guru yang terbaik, membantu muridnya menjadi lebih baik darinya. Guru yang terbaik, mendidik dan mentarbiah muridnya agar menjadi hamba Allah yang sebaiknya.....

Adik... faham ko dop tu???

Adik mengangguk tanda faham. Alhamdulillah... moga2 pencariannya istiqamah....Amin!

WaNiTa HaRi Ini WiTh Tuan Haji Anuar

Tuan Haji Anuar at TV3

I was waiting my turn at the dentist hall. Suddenly the "Wanita Hari Ini" program at television (TV3) interviewed our Tuan Haji Anuar about the social problem regarding our teenagers at school. The problem discussed were about the "samseng" (gangsterism) and "lelaki lembut" (gynemimesism). Interesting topic and nice proposed solution.

I have my own opinion about one of the topic: The gangsterism. It has exist since very long time at school. But the trend seems to be increasing nowadays, and the consequence seems more serious. The fact is that, most of people start to know that their teenagers are becoming wild and violent; due to the clips taken from handphone and uploaded at the youtube.

I have seen this many times during my secondary school (13 years to 17 years). I have seen both of the gang fought, all around the school, with their school uniform. They used the sticks, iron bar, machete, axe and chain. I have seen one of them died, beaten at head by an axe. Why is this happened? They got few reasons:

1) territorial
all of the members of gang A, must never pass through the lane, or an area, or even to come eat at a restaurant under the "territorial" of gang B. sometime, it is just a matter of small part inside a school or kampung.

2) revenge
personal problem of one member with a member of other gang. To settle this, he asks helps from his gang to revenge.

3)girl
they fight for a very stupid and silly reason: for a girl. and they would die for it.

This is not the fault of the school or teachers only. The main problem is from the family itself. The parents must play their role rightly to educate their children. Parents have the right on their children. Parents must never fear to their children, even though the psychology approaches must be used firstly. As Malay proverbs says "melentur buluh biar dari rebungnya". (bending the bamboo should be made when it's still young). When the soft approach is not enough, then some "rotan" (punishing) would necessary, but should be done with caution.

The problem recently is the sueing trend among the parents. We are influenced with a bad habit of sueing the teachers, when teachers punished our children for being morally bad. This makes teachers fear to do anything, even though his/her student becomes too bad. Most of teachers nowadays will just ignore the bad student fearing they will get problem after. Especially when nowadays more and more male teachers "extinct", and let the school surveyed only by the female teachers.

I had grown with a warning by my Mom, who was a teacher. She said once, "if I heard you are punished at school because of being naughty, I'll double your punishment!". That warning indeed disciplined me. And I didn't do anything stupid seems all of teachers know my Mom and my Dad. Maybe in one side, I was lucky to be with a group of good friends who never thought to "ponteng" (skip the class without excuse), to smoke in the school toilet, or to watch the pornvideo and experimented it.

Everyone must be blamed here. Everyone has the responsibility to educate the teenagers. There must not exist the "mind your own business" thing. Every teacher must not only come to school to teach and wait every month's salary. Teacher must be the one who educate, and must know every of his/her student's parents and their background. The personal relation must exist between teachers and parents. The parents in other hand, must be strict in growing their children. Control their daily activities, and watch with whom they are friends with. Inspect their belongings as you have the right to know everything about your children. C'mon, they are your's!!! And for us, the neigbour, or the person who is seeing something bad done by the teenagers, must do a right thing. Never keep the silence. Report to the right person if we are not able to do it alone. Or if you are able, use your voice to advice them, or if needed, use your "material, physical, psychological, spiritual or mental strength" to make them know which is right and which is not. Failing to do this, in 2o, 30 and 40 years, we will live in fear. We will be regreting as there will be to much criminal. And that time, we are too old and too weak to advice them anymore. That naughty little ones in front of us have the big potential to be a real gangster when they have grown up. So brothers and sisters, be brave and feel generous to advice our new generation!!!!


To Cikgu Anuar, congratulation and many thanks for the interview.

MENCARI GURU...

Searching for a teacher is a must. Whether it is in the academics, in religion or in Silat. Maybe we are too busy to spend one night, or one morning to go and learn something. But at least the technology is there to facilitate us getting the Ilmu. Learning from books,internet or CDs is good, but learning from a "human" teacher is better. The teacher is there to correct us and guide us. Learning without teacher is like learning with the Satan. We will lost in arriving at the destination, and we will use the wrong way to get to it. As a result, we will find it's difficult to get the Ilmu, or we will think we know about it eventhough the knowledge is false and incorrect.

In Silat Seni Gayong also we have to be careful. Sometimes, we feel comfortable with our Bengkung, our Sandang, our students and our Gelanggang. Sometimes, we should ask other Gurulatih what he knows that we don't. This asking must be done politely, with an intention to learn. Never think as a full glass of water, because no matter how much they pour the water, nothing will change in you. You will keep only a glass of water. But always thinking as an empty glass. Bring as many as possible the glasses. Or if possible, bring the jug. Hehehe. One word of a teacher is worth than hundred of downloaded videos or books. Because a teacher's word is a key to the knowledge.

One of the best present that God gives to human being is the "barokah" in science and knowledge. What will we find at the end finally?

From Him we came, to Him we go...

Innalillahi Wainna Ilaihi Roji'un...

HUNTING THE MERPATI PUTIH

Burung Merpati

"What a better purpose of life than being a part of a good man"

Merpati putih, or white pigeon, is a must for a pregnant woman. Is is widely practiced by Malay people. Maybe there is no concrete prove about this, but the benefit of eating the liver of pigeon lies in one story of the Mother of Luqman al-Hakim. Luqman al-Hakim was a good man (certain Moslem scholars consider him as a Prophet, while others consider him as a "Wali") and his wisdom was told in the Holy Qur'an.

From the story which told by my mother, my grandmother and many old folks, it is beleived that his Mother was at a point to eat a cooked pigeon, and it was the only food that she had. She was pregnant at that time. Suddenly a poor man/woman came and ask her as he/she didn't eat since many days. So that kind and pious woman, gave all of the pigeon meat, and she took only the liver for her. But the God made this thing intentionally, as He knows best. He never let His servants down. It is in the liver where He blessed most. Because of that, that woman delivered a baby named Luqman. The baby grew up, and became a wise and religious man.

So from that story, it becomes a tradition in our culture that a husband search a pigeon for her wife. It is preferred a white one. So as a kind and loving husband, I "hunted" the white pigeon for many days. It is easy to find the "colored" pigeon, but not the white one. But finally I managed to get two pigeons.

So I killed it righteously , according to the Syari'a law (to make the meat Halal!). So by using a very sharp knife and a fast slaugthering cut and deep enough, I cut the throat and the blood vessels. The animal must be let away freely after the cut to let the blood pour out completely. Don't ever forget to say the God's name and facing the Mecca. I take one to roast it, while my wife made a soup with other. I let the both livers to her while I enjoyed the meat. Hehehhe. It's finger lickin good Merpati Putih!!!! ;)

Alhamdulillahi Rabbil A'lamin. Tabarakallahu ta'ala. Hope my future son or daughter will be as wise as hadrat Luqman al-Hakim. Amin.... ;)

"A man will do everything for his woman. Almost. lol"

Don't judge the liver's sive by the pigeon's whole body.lol"

Ceritera Gelanggang Sekangkang Baboon

Ambo berasa hairan dengan sesetengah orang yang mengaku dirinya Gayong. Ambo pun Gayong, demo pon Gayong. Dok berebut "tanah" sekangkang kera. Kalaulah buleh kaya dengan mengajar Gayong tak apa juga. Ni duit kita sebagai Gurulatih yang habis adalah.

Adalah ceritera terbaru, hikayat Gelanggang Sekangkang Baboon. Ia diceritakan kepada ambo oleh seorang Juruletih kanan di Gelanggang itu....

Gelanggangnya satu jer dalam daerah tu, tapi habis dijaja cerita kata Dia lah Penguasa Mutlak daerah. Gelanggang pun bukan gelanggang awam, tapi kat sekolah menengah jer.

Dulu ambo inilah Juruletihnya. Bukan satu, tapi empat gelanggang sekolah di daerah tu ambo jaga. Sorang dua sahabat tolong juga kadang2. Kami ni Juruletih merah pertama di daerah. Memang kami time tu suci murni. Niat belajar Gayong betul-betul. Tapi rupa-rupanya kami "diperah" habis-habisan. Tebu muda katakan. Manis dan banyak airnya. Yuran bulanan budak2??? Semua disapu masuk dalam poketnya. Jadi waktu tu terpaksa minta duit mak ayah nak isi minyak motor pegi mengajar.....

Ambo bukan kesah sangat tak dapat duit tu. Duit mak ayah dan biasiswa ambo pon dah cukup dah. Tapi yang ambo terkilan, bila ambo disingkirkan bila demo dapat "Tebu" baru. Mujur juga, kalau tidak, sampai sekarang ambo menanggung beban. "Tebu muda" datang menyembah. Rasa syok kot jadi kesayangan MurahGuru dan Sang Petapa. Ditatang, dikelek, dipegang2, diperah2 sampai berair-air, juga disentuh-sentuh..... hehehehehe

Tu tak kira lagi Murahguru yang "makan daging mentah". Pantang jumpa anak buah pompuan yang lawa-lawa. Habis "dikecek" jadi adik angkat, anak angkat, awek angkat, sampai terangkat angkat. Bukan sekali jadi kes besar, tapi berkali kali tak serik. Ingat kubur kata mari, rumah kata pergi. Tangan yang pegang benda haram jadi habuan api neraka. "Anggota badan" lain yang sentuh plak lagi le teruuuk. Masa budak-budak tu di sekolah demo buleh laa buat apa demo suka. Tapi bila budak-budak ni dah besar, dia tak lupa ape Murahguru atau "Jurulatbulu" buat kat dia....

Bab duit grading satu hal. Setiap kali kursus berpuluh-puluh ringgit seorang budak bayar. Campur makan minum, grading, sijil dan tali pinggang, boleh jadi seratus lebih. Budak-budak ada dekat 50 orang. Wah wah wah, confirm dapat Rm5000 tu. Habis grading, habuk pon tarak. Bengkung dan sijil yang dijanjikan entah ke mana. Duit lesap masuk bank. Buat modal meniaga kot, tak pon tukar motor/keta/hp baru. Budak2, lima tahun belajar di sekolah, satu sijil gayong pon tarak. Tak pe, yang penting ilmu kata Murahguru tu. Hehehhee.

Yang paling lawak, Murahguru dan Juruletih ni setiap kali awal tahun minta bayaran kat budak2 sekolah pendaftaran tahunan untuk PSSGM. RM10 seorang. Tapi bila dah bayar, budak2 minta kad keahlian. si Murahguru cakap " Aku tak mahu bagi korang kad ahli ni buat menunjuk-nunjuk, semua aku simpan". Jawapan paling haram ambo pernah dengar. Sudah berbelas tahun ada Gayong di Gelanggang Sekangkang Baboon tu, tiap2 tahun bayar. Tiap2 tahun Murahguru kumpul kad ahli. Tapi ambo sendiri tak pernah tengok sekali pon mana2 kad ahli gayong. Pakai ilmu halimunan kot nak sembunyi kad2 tu. Bawalah masuk kubur kad2 tuu ye...

Pernah terjadi, kutipan untuk ahli seumur hidup dikutip. Budak-budak diminta bayaran sebanyak Rm130. Untuk makluman bagi yang tak tahu, yuran ahli seumur hidup hanya rm100 jer. maknanya dah rm30 seorang dia makan. Tapi yang lawaknya, lagi seratus tu pon lesap, budak2 bergenang air mata je laa kad ahli seumur hidup tak sampai2. Ibu bapa yang perihatin marah2, malah tak sedikit ahli yang berhenti sebab ibu bapa yang suruh. Murahguru dengan muka tak malunya terus mengaku penguasa daerah. Memang sedap kot makan duit haraaaammm..... (lepas tu bagi anak bini makan)


Gelanggang Sekangkang Baboon juga menarik perhatian makhluk-makhluk berbulu yang tak punya tempat nak bergayut, termasuklah sang Gorila. Ye lah, nak bergayut di tempat sendiri, masyarakat setempat tak suka sebab pemalas. Nama dan pangkat sangat-sangat diidamkan. Ilmu tu jatuh nombor tiga belas. Punya lah baik bodek nak bagi orang buka pintu. Bila dah masuk, mula tunjuk watak sebenar. Penghasut dan penyebar fitnah. Nak ambil tempat ambo sebagai Juruletih, dia kawtim dengan Murahguru dan Juruletih yang lain. Ambo dikatakan mengajar ilmu sesat. Ambo dikatakan songlap "pitis". Hasilnya, Sang Petapa (yang ni taraf dia lagi tinggi dari Murahguru) offer penumbuknya pada ambo di depan orang ramai. Kalau bukan kerana aku Genggam Angkat Yakin WARAS dan Ngeri, ntah ape akan jadi tak tahu le....


Ambo pon dah lupakan Gelanggang Sekangkang Baboon tu. Ambo dah buka Gelanggang ambo sendiri. Gelanggang Sekangkang Naga. Hehehehhe. Pada orang2 sana, kalau baca post ni, ambo nak bagitau. Demo buat hal demo. Ambo buat hal ambo. Mujurlah Gelanggang sekarang tak perlu berdaftar dengan Daerah. Ambo daftar direct dengan Negeri dan Pusat. Setakat ni, sejak kedatangan Sang Gorila, dah tiga Juruletih disingkir. Pelik, pendatang tanpa izin halau keluar penduduk tetap??? Ikut laah apa demo nak buat encik Gorila oiii.... asalkan demo bahagia. Dengar kata dah ada jawatan peringkat negeri, tahniah lah. Semoga berkhidmat sebaiknya. Kesian ambo, pernah dituduh nakkan jawatan tu. Bekas penjawat jawatan tu pun termakan cerita mereka, sampaikan bersikap dingin dengan ambo. Tuan boleh tengok sendiri, siapa yang melobi sebenarnya. Teringat ambo pesan Guru Pendita ambo. Kalau ditakdirkan kita sebagai pemimpin, kot mana2 pon kita akan dipilih jadi pemimpin. Cuma yang membezakan sama ada jawatan itu kita minta atau diberi. Kalau kita minta, segala kekurangan jadi hisab atas kita. Kalau kita diberi, semoga Allah yang memperbaikinya....


Ambo disingkir, alhamdulillah. Tapi yang sebenarnya, ambo sendiri yang berniat tarik diri. Tak perlu dicanang kata ambo dibuang. Ambo tak mahu bersekongkol dengan dosa2 demo. Menjatuhkan nama perguruan dan maruah kita sebagai orang Islam. PERGURUAN KITA SEKARANG JAUH KE DEPAN, GURULATIH SEKARANG BERDISIPLIN DAN BERTAULIAH. MURID KITA TAHU KENAL ILMU DAN ADAT. TAPI INI ADALAH REALITI GELANGGANG KAMPUNG. YANG TIDAK BERDAFTAR DAN MENJUAL NAMA PERGURUAN UNTUK KEPENTINGAN DIRI......

Yang Benar,

King Kong

*** Ceritera ini hanyalah rekaan semata-mata, tiada berkaitan dengan individu yang masih hidup atau telah meninggal dunia. Ambil iktibar dari mesej yang ambo cuba sampaikan. Yang buruk kita perbaiki, yang baik kita turuti..... hehehehehe... ;)

New Toy: KLEWANG

Having few Ringgits inside my pocket, having enough petrol to go and return safely to Kota Bharu and having a little leisure time that I can spend, I took a quick visit to Pasar Siti Khadijah. My intention is to buy some axes for training, but unfortunately my favorite dealer's shop was closed. So looking around with other dealers, comparing the prices, negotiating it, I finally came back with a new toy. Not an axe though, but a Klewang. Hehhehehehehe.
