I was informed that a Sandang ceremony will be held at the new Gayong office at Putri Ampang Plaza. Wearing just a Baju Melayu and Pelikat, after praying at a nearby Surau, I rushed to the Gayong office with Cikgu Jaz and Cikgu Azlan Ghani. The Sandang ceremony was to endorse the new Khalifah Besars for the Wilayah Persekutuan KL and also for the Selangor. Certain Cikgus also were being upgraded their belt according to their level. Just sharing the photos during the Ceremony. The senior Gayong Master like Cikgu Mustapha Kamal, Cikgu Tok Mail, Cikgu Kahar, Cikgu Anuar, Cikgu Adi Wijaya and Cikgu Sazali were present for the endorsement.
TO LIVE AND TO SURVIVE ARE BOTH THE ART OF NATURE. To do or not to do. Already done or will not be done. Are not the things. We are capable to choose. We can do. We can change. We can fight. But the end. Will be only what the destiny reveals. A man always dreams. Beyond his own cage. Called as death. Hi's stepping forward. Enduring all the suffering and pain. Till the time ends. And last drop found. Until then, the journey must continue...

NEW PSSGM HICOM
I was informed that a Sandang ceremony will be held at the new Gayong office at Putri Ampang Plaza. Wearing just a Baju Melayu and Pelikat, after praying at a nearby Surau, I rushed to the Gayong office with Cikgu Jaz and Cikgu Azlan Ghani. The Sandang ceremony was to endorse the new Khalifah Besars for the Wilayah Persekutuan KL and also for the Selangor. Certain Cikgus also were being upgraded their belt according to their level. Just sharing the photos during the Ceremony. The senior Gayong Master like Cikgu Mustapha Kamal, Cikgu Tok Mail, Cikgu Kahar, Cikgu Anuar, Cikgu Adi Wijaya and Cikgu Sazali were present for the endorsement.
USTAZ AZAHARI & PSSGM HULU SELANGOR
The wedding is approaching, and my beloved Cikgi Nyz is searching for me two "Silat" gifts to put in two "Pa" (Dulang) during the ceremony. In Malay culture, the bride will have to give two more gifts than the groom's. If I give her 9 "Pa"s, then she will have to give me 11 "Pa"s. One gift I have booked with Cikgu Nasir. MasyaAllah, the "Tajong" is very beautiful. I'm waiting eagerly the day I come to pick him up. The second gift is a "Sundang Lipas". The searching of Sundang Lipas made me meet Ustaz Azahari, the Gurulatih of PSSGM Hulu Selangor. They welcomed us like brothers, even it was the first time we met. We was treated with the weapon and special object collection of Ustaz Azahari, from the Keris, Sundang, Tajong, to the rare object like Batu ***** or huge Kemuning ***** (I am not sure if Ustaz would like people knows about this. Just go there and see the collection yourself! )
I would like to thank PSSGM Hulu Selangor for the warm welcome, and hope we will meet again in the next time. Salam Persaudaraan... ZATTTTT!!!!!

The Khalifah Besar, Cikgu Ibrahim Yasok called all Gurulatihs all around Kelantan for a meeting to discuss about many things. The representatives were from PSSGM of Pasir Puteh, Machang , Tanah Merah , Bachok, Kota Bharu and Gua Musang. It was the second general meeting. The third meeting in the next time will discuss on more delicate issue. Especially the question of leadership and trust.
Our meeting was attended also by our special guest of Gayong Warisan Bachok, Cikgu Muzairi, Cikgu Nasir and Cikgu Zul.
I wish that PSSGM Kelantan will find his best "Captain" to make a united and strong Gayong Family in this state of Serambi Mekah..... Amin Amin Amin! ;)

Biar sorg dua xpa, janji berkualiti & b'bakti... Aku keje filem researcher... tgk camera view dah tau dah lakonan semata2.. lg pown stakat rancangan mahaguru, takewondo pun ade masuk. Dorg ni cume nak cr bahan semata2...
lg 1, Melayu yg bagus adlh melayu yg boleh trima kritikan... tenang dan xcepat melenting... :D 4 days ago
ko search ni ha: anwar bersilat (video Pandak Majid), legendary silat master under attacked (video Cikgu Awang).
1. Pandak Majid gaduh main pukul, karate cowboy jerk... lepas tu bergumpal2... hilang abis seni.
2. Cikgu Awang tgk kat 0:14, sepak pown bersepah.. sepak angin je kot... terkangkang semacam jerk. 4 days ago
Haa.. tau pun lakonan semula.. dah tu yg aku ckp lakonan semata tu pesal ko nak membangkang?? Ko ni betul ke Melayu tulen?? ckp mcm keling jerk... hahaha...
Ni nak bg tau, klu ko ade bace newspaper kes 4thn lepas kat taman melati budak gayung kene kapak kat dahi tu aku punye keje la.. 6 lawan 1.. sorg kene kapak, 3 t'lentang, lg 2 org b'sepah lari... bwk moto mcm setan, aku tego trus brenti bwk kapak.. konon nak kapak aku.. udahnya makan diri.. klu ko nak crite m'besar dgn silat xpayah la.. 4 days ago
Haha... banyak sgtla alasan ko tu... klu ye pon tahan2 penyepak, pelempang xkan sampai jd mcm kartun kot... terkangkang semacam jerk... klu stakat sepak terkangkang mcm tu xpayah blaja silat la... matpet tepi longkang pon boleh buat... hehehe... ko nak ajar aku sparring? rasenye ko blom layak kot... stakat budak sekolah boleh la ko ajar... ckp pun mcm keling ada hati nak ajar aku... mmg dasar gayong suka mengeling... dari DMAR sampailah murid2... semuanya sama.... 2 days ago
Haha... Shaiful Hakim bin Mohamed Noor mamat kelantan rupenye... patutla cepat sgt melatah... org post skali, ko siap channel comment, private msg lg... melatah gile babeng... mcm ni la budak gayong... xmatured langsung... cepat sgt melatah... mmg xlayak jd pesilat... Perangai same jer dgn ADMAR... Angkuh dgn ilmu yg ada... kesian... 20 hours ago
xangkuh konon... ADMAR tu cukup angkuh orgnya... Aku malas je nak cerita perangai dia... Dia pun dah aruah... kalau kau rajin pg la search sejarah hidup dia... mmg cukup angkuh... boleh claim diri sebagai org paling gagah... lupa yg bumi Allah ni luas... Ada yg lebih gagah dari dia... Sbb tu lepas Mangkat Sultan Alang Iskandar dia lari tinggalkan istana... dah xda org nak backup dlm istana... Ramai pembesar yg sakit hati dgn dia... haha...
selepas dicabar jumpa, apa mamat ni kata:
Aku bukan penakut, tapi aku malas nak mensia2kan ilmu dan masa aku untuk perkara mcm ni... malas dah nak layan budak2 gayung ni... Ilmu yg aku pelajari bukan untuk dipamerkan dan dipertontonkan seperti yg korang slalu buat...
p/s: Ilmu Aku Ilmu Gerak, Gerak Aku Gerak Allah... Lembutnya Bayu, Indahnya Sinar, Bisanya Aliff... itulah pakaiaan aku... klu xfaham pg cari guru2 tua...
Memang guru tu ibarat mak ayah kita.. tapi tengok gak guru mcm mana... klu guru kaki putar belit fakta, kaki auta, angkuh... mmg xpatut di sanjung mcm ADMAR... Klu dulu boleh la dia pengaruh org2 Melayu... sbb dulu Melayu cetek Agama... sekarang... Ramai dah yg sedar... ADMAR tu guna dampingan... Naga cula 1 tu categori jin... Jin yg lahir sekali dgn dia... mcm mane boleh berlaku klu x Sharifah Aluyah tu yg ada pemakai? waktu hubungan intim suami isteri dampingan tu beserta, sbb tulah boleh keluar kembar naga. ADMAR claim Gayong (silat sendi harimau) warisan bugis dari daing2... tapi klu ko bace balik salah silahnya... Gayong dia belajar dari Panglima Syed Zainal Al-Attas dari pahang (bukan dari bugis dan sahabat karip dgn moyang aku). ko bace dan siasat dulu betul riwayat ADMAR ni... dan ko akan tau siapa dia yg sebenarnya... belum lg bab dia membelot org melayu...
Bukan mengutuk, tp memberi tahu yg hakikat... terpulanglah samada nak terima dgn hati yg terbuka atau nak terus mengagungkannya... lg satu... aku bukan segayong dgn ko ye.. Gayong2 ni xmainla... bab sembur2 ni, sapa makan cili dia terasalah pedasnya...
The accusations are too harsh and bad. How would you feel when someone said something "bad" about your mom? I am sure that this guy will regret what he said. Brother, remember "kerana mulut badan binasa". I urge you to delete your comments and make an apologize statement to Cikgu Awang, Cikgu Majid, the late Mahaguru and his decendants, and to all members and children of Gayong.
What I would like to highlight is that, there are many morons like that here. They are Master in the web, but the reality is that they are just a pussy. Last time I got certain message like above. After dealing few times, I got his telephone number, and surprisingly when I called him, he admit that he doesn't know any martial art. But as Silat is Silaturrahim, we end to be friend eventhough we haven't met yet. There are many things happen in the web, and certain abuse it since he can mask as an anonymous ID to attack certain video. Most of the time, there are just the beginners, sometimes the advances students, but still not matured and need more guidance from his teacher. The most dangerous thing in adhering with certain organisation like Silat is that we become an extreme and fanatic maniacs, that ONLY our group is true, and other than our's is bad. Luckily, as long as I remember, I'd never been taught by my Masters to belittle other's martial arts, their teachers, their demos or their system. But if those morons think that they can say anything bad about my Mahaguru, my Masters, my Silats, my martial arts, my family, my Melayu or my faith, than don't blame me if one day you eat my right hand Pelempang Kelantan instead of eating your dinner. KL is small dude. So small that I could sniff you out.

Overcome the Pain
I remembered many things extreme that we tried to achieve the perfection. My partner Sabri was accidentally stabbed by a Keris. He was my first partner, and I admit that it was with him I knew my first "Pain". We received a praise by our Masters for our "unkindness, inconsiderate and unsympathetic severe Pukulan". We trained everyday at the Gelanggang Gong Serapat, for 3 years. After starting the weapons lessons, and becoming the Jurulatih, I thought the pain thing is finished. Especially when we are the Gurulatih, spending most of the time to teach, the ability to hit hard, and to "tolerate" the pain becomes weaker.
But luckily, Silat Seni Gayong has no "Khatam". Meaning that, the late Mahaguru taught so many thing that even a constant learning and training more than 10 years, I still found myself a dummies in front of a newly met Master. Every Master has his own specialty. Many bare hands technics are still there to be mastered. A part from the Kombat, Kunci Maut, Pecahan Kunci and Pukulan, the Pukulan Wanita, derived and selected from the "Jurus" or "Seni" of Silat Seni Gayong. Well brothers and sisters, it's time to get rock n roll! Feel the pain, and you will master the names! ;)
Simbar Cakar Helang, Kuda Gila, Tembi Hentak, Sepak Rajang Hentak Adam,Emas Sepukal, Tembi Siku, Tebar Jala,Tembi Sula, Rimbat Jerat Maut, Seligi,Rimbat Kuda Gila, Pecah Gendang, Jantung Pisang, Setangkai Padi,Selayang Pandang,Selayang Pancung, Harimau Kumbang, Seni Belian,Rajawali......etc... and many more!
Seni Pemusnahan & Pemecahan
Master Mufti Ansari always says that this is the moment that we learn not only the respiration, but to learn how to use the "soft" movement, to break the hard object. A hard object can be broken by using external force (Kudrat), but it is preferrable to loose your hand, instead of filling it with energy, fearing that your hand will hurt.
In Silat Seni Gayong, the popular hard object that used during the training are like roof tiles, bricks, river stones, coconuts, and the extreme level is breaking the iron bar. The one to two inches wood plank is used for the breaking technics with fingers.
I'm sharing the photos during the training at Cikgu Mufti's Gelanggang at Kepong. Merci beaucoup Cikgu pour un super entrainement et un discour tres detaillee!!! ;)

SUNDANG LIPAS....
Just to share for those who didn't watch it yet. The video is from Chula Hitam's Channel of Youtube (Cikgu Azizan of Gayong Labuan). I think it was uploaded since last year. Ayahanda Amin Hamzah was showing the Sundang Lipas movements. Sundang Lipas is a double lames sword of Bugis people. It is tied normally with Sarong to be put on the back.
Just a word: Beautiful...! ;)

TALKING WITH MY BERIMBAU...
Looking around my Silat staff, I found my Capoeira toys. It was a gift from my Mestre, a Capoeira Master from Montpellier, France. He is a Brazilian Master, residing in France since many years. He gave me this Berimbau, with the Panderro, in exchange of my Pencak Silat trousers. ;)
The experience with Capoeirists was fun, since there is no politics. During the Roda, everyone can join, regardless your capoeira style or association. There more people participating the Roda, the more fun is there. The capoeirists bring the energy, clapping and singging together, with the Berimbau and Panderro. You can join whether you are from Regional or Angola.
I played with Sorriso during my Bapteme (Baptist), and named as Tranquinho. That name was quite sucks for me initially, seems he said that I was small but move fast, like a trunk of a tree blew by the strong wind. Whatever Mestre! lol. But after being called with that name thousand times, I finally accept the destiny of being called with that name. It's much simpler that Narapatinantaboga! lol
In Capoeira, we make certain muscles works differently to compare with Silat or Muay Thai training. The sweeping and swing concept is important, and the equilibrium is vital. In Capoeira we sing, some song are religious, mainly about the Christianity, although they do exist the Moslem schools of Capoeira in Brazil.
However, the game inside the Roda could be dangerous, as certain likes to humiliate and dominate others during the game. You can simply humiliate your adversary by performing the extravaganza acrobatics moves, but the best way is to "knock him out". During the festival (baptist), you can see those instructors who are playing to help the beginners to improve their game, while certain instructors play to show off that they are the seniors, with style of so-respect-me-dummies!
I was accidently broke one of my adversary's nose, with Mea Lua Reversao. It was so serious that his girlfriend hated me so much! What could I do? I heard that he was flirting her girlfriend who was standing outside the Roda during the game. That's what our Mestre always warn us. Attention!!!!!
By the way, practising Capoeira as a non-brazilian,especially outside Brazil, will cost you "the price of your ass skin" (french expression). The traditional Berimbau, or Pandeiro, will easily cost you half of your bachelor's saving. The normal Abada trousers could have a price until RM120 and up. This is due to the trend, publicities, and business, that force the Capoeira instructors who have no job other than teaching Capoeira to make this activities as his living earning, and make most of the students find hard to continue with Capoeira.

One of the experience that I can't forget is during the dinner at Mestre's house. If I'm not mistaken, it was his birthday, and he prepared us the rice with red bean sauce. I was honored when he asked me to "presented" him the Silat, which I made a modest "Bunga Teratai and Bunga Tanjung", while himself played the Atabaque. If you are reading this post, I would like to thank Mestre Sorriso, Expert, Pixot, Maxim, David, Finitia, Light, Meloncia, and all of Capoeirist mates at Montpellier. Last two years festival was my last time with you guys. Hope to see you all again. Muito origado, até a próxima!

PAK NGAH IZAHAR: Senior Gayong Master of Batu Kurau
I still remember my first encounter with him, couple of years ago. I met him after being introduced by Cikgu Nasir during the Pencak Silat competition at Kota Bharu. While other Gayong Masters were sitting on the stage with their Silat uniform, Sandang and Belt, Pak Ngah Izahar was modestly sitting with the young Pesilats, in a normal outfit.
As a young Gayong student, I am always in the searching for the art of Silat Seni Gayong. I am in a great hunger and thirst for the knowledge. One of my experience, being tested by the outsiders inside my Gelanggang always forced me to be a better Gayong practitioner. Alhamdoulillah, from the Barokah of doing some Petua given by this old Master, any outsider came inside my Gelanggang will bow and show their respect. I am nothing to compare with those seniors and Masters. Hopefully my destiny with Gayong will last until my last breath ...
Spending sometimes with this "Old" Master, I learnt some Adab and correct manners one should do to learn with a Master. I would like to share some of my opinion, which I find really important and valid for everyone.
***********************************************************************************
Special thanks to Pak Ngah Izahar for spending his time with us. To Faiz and Adi, merci beaucoup! Hope to have more chance in the future to train together. Many thanks to Ustaz Khalid, and also to Cikgu Nasir & Cikgu Muzairi for making this happen. All respect to all anak-anak Gayong Batu Kurau and Bachok.
Saya dengan rendah diri memohon Guru-Guru semua sudi menunjuk ajar diri saya. Yang mana terlanggar adat dan adab, teguran dipohon. Diri masih jahil dan kurang ilmu dalam bergayong. Yang mana terlanjur kata dan bahasa, maaf dipohon. Terima Kasih pada yang sudi menerima. Bak kata orang tua, Silat itu Silaturrahim....

Cikgu Ezhar Abbas: Khalifah Besar Selangor
Cikgu Ezhar Abbas is one of the Khalifah Besar of PSSGM Selangor. We met for the first time when I was invited by Cikgu Ariffin to the graduation day of Silat Seni Gayong United Kingdom and International. Alhamdoulillah, I came to his house at last at Cheras Baru. We talked about many things, mainly concerning PSSGM. He mentioned certain names which makes me want to meet those "Big" Masters behind PSSGM Selangor, like Cikgu Zainal Badak, Cikgu Sani Morni and Cikgu Ibrahim.
He asked me if I took any photo or video last time when he came to UK, so he sucessfully made me explore any bit of my external Gayong hard disk, to find the photos and the videos! I finally found the video that I edited, but still to be modified before ready to be uploaded here! ;) . I put Cikgu Ezhar's action last time at UK, showing the deadly technic of Cindai Jantan and Rajawali.
I heard that Cikgu Ezhar was hospitalized last time, but alhamdoulillah that he's now in a good health.
Hopefully the Mandi Minyak programs at Kuala Kubu Baru last Saturday was done smoothly. Share the photos please! ;)

BALIK KAMPUNG & BALIK KL
I went back to Pasir Puteh last weekend to visit my family and to support the new students who were taking the grading. I came back to Sungai Besi with the my small "Kancil" packed with the cooking tools, "bantals", our new cat Te', kidnapped from Kampung to be forced to marry our boy Joix, and Silat toys.... ;). I even took my Gendang, Gong and Canang. Anyone is available to play the gendang with me at Sungai Besi???? lol. I left my Serunai at Paris. Waiting to get it back here!!! ;)
I checked my weapons there, few were lost!!! I was told that certain came to borrow my weapons for the training but didn't bring it back!!! I was so frustrated, but surely I'll find my toys again. So I decide to bring some of my training tools with me here. The rest I locked up the cupboard. Hope these toys will help me to fill my leisure time up when getting bored at home... or at UPM! lol
