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...

Day 5: Exchange Visit with "Canne de Combat"
Tonight we went to the club of French Combat Stick (Canne a Combat), one of the old martial art of French people. This is the basic of French Sword (escrime) but using the stick instead of a real sword. The purpose for this program is not only to teach Silat Seni Gayong to the French, but also to learn their martial art as an cultural and martial exchange so every Gurulatih has the open eyes for the diversity of martial method. As we always say : The unity in diversity!
After two hours of learning the technique and tricks, we finish the sparring with the "Salut", and had a photo session! ;) The class was short for us to master this art, but the generosity and warm welcome from this French Master and his students will remain in our heart forever. Hopefully, again, that this activity will bring benefit to everyone. ;) Merci a tous!!!!!

Day 4: Exchange Visit to The Club de Pencak Silat Mouscron!
Today we were invited by the Pencak Silat Club of Mouscron, Belgium, to do a demo and short seminar at their dojo. Gayong France has a close relation with the club since very long time. The Master of the club, Master Jacques, is one of the senior Pencak Silat Master in Belgium, since he was a student of Master Turpinj. Master Turpinj was an indonesian Pencak Silat Master who had created his own school in Europe, and considered the first who introduced the art to the European.
I saparated the lesson into several parts: Asas Elakan, Elak Pukul, Asas Serangan, Pecahan Elak Pukul, some Kunci Mati and finally for a special request, a little bit of Cindai presentation (Sarong and Bengkung) So our two students, Ehsan and Haziq had shown a really excellent demo performance, and also had interacted through all the class with every participant. I found that their English has improve too! (so strange to improve your english in french spoken country!). The other 3 Gurulatih, Cikgu Zaki, Cikgu Anuar and Cikgu Bajan also have been doing well in teaching, coaching and training the French and Belgian during the class. The Naga Rantau will be a one step further ahead!
Club de Pencak Silat a Mouscron est l'un de les anciens club de Pencak en Belgique. Le Maitre Jacques, etait un eleve de Maitre Turpinj, donc peut donner l'idee de quoi ca ressemble des esprits reste dans leur Dojo! On s'est roncontre pour la premiere fois dans 2005, et on continue a faire des echanges jusqu'a ce jour la. Le club a un tres bon esprit de fraternite et moi et les Malai on est toujours tres bien acceuilli chez eux! ;) Merci beaucoup Jacques, Eric et les anciens et les nouveaux de club de Moucron. L'entrainement de tout a l'heure la c'etait tres bien et en bonne ambiance! ;) En esperant de pouvoir se rencontrer encore dans la future! ;)

BLUES UNTUK AMBO....
Kalau ikut hari, ni hari ke-5 musafir dan merantau kami di Perancis. Sudah 3 kali latihan. Alhamdulillah.... qada' dan qadar Allah swt itu indah dan cantik, bila difikir dengan hati yang tenang. Ambo nyaris2 smbung bljar ke ohio state university, columbus di U.S, tp takdir tetapkn ambo dtg ke france.
Ini bukan kali pertama datang mengajar anak-anak gayong berbangsa Perancis di bandar Lille. Sejak dari 2005, hampir setiap bulan, ambo amek train datang mengajar di sini. Tapi kedatangan kali ini agak berbeza perasaannya. Fikir punye fikir.... baru tahu sebab apa. Sebabnya ambo sudah setahun dok di Malaysia. Selama setahun juga ambo timba pengalaman baru dalam hidup. Berumahtangga, kerja, dapat anak, dan yang terutama (yang jauh sekali dapat dielakkan) ialah politik dalam pertubuhan....termasuklah politik Gayong.
Rupa2nya, selama hampir 8 tahun di bumi Perancis, ambo tidak begitu sedar betapa ambo sebenarnya dipermudahkan Allah swt dalam berkongsi ilmu, menimba ilmu, mengajar ilmu dan lain2 dalam mengenal seni mempertahankan diri.. tapi selepas setahun di Malaysia, dan datang kembali, baru ambo sedar betapa payah mengajar di luar negara, tidak sama payahnya di dalam negara. Orang Perancis sangat menghargai seni silat. Orang kita tak sedikit yang memperlekehkannya. Orang Perancis sangat terbuka dalam berdiskusi hatta dalam beladiri. Orang kita cuma pandai mengaku silat kita sahaja yg hebat tanpa mahu bertarung. Orang Perancis naik kerana kepandaian. Orang kita banyak yang naik kerana bodek, jatuh kerana fitnah.
Apa-apapun, setahun di Malaysia, banyak yg ambo belajar dalam Gayong. Kenal kebanyakan Guru Gayong. Kenal juga Cikgu2 muda Gayong. Ada yang baru kenal, tapi bagaikan saudara sehidup semati. Tapi ada juga yang manis di depan, busuk di belakang. Ada juga yg bertahun kenal, tetapi.... entah lah... malas nk komen lebih. Ambo syukur pada Nya atas segala tarbiyah dari Nya... ;)
Ape2 pon, syukur alhamdulillah melihat walaupun selepas setahun meninggalkan France, AFSSG mampu untuk berdikari di bawah pimpinan murid kanan ambo, Cikgu Benjamin PONS dan Gurulatih2 kanan. Seingat ambo, rupa2nya, Benjamin PONS ni di antara murid yg mula belajar dgn ambo dari kosong sampai laaa lo ni kuning 3. Semoga perhubungan ini kekal.. amin.
Ambo syukur juga, dan ingin ucapkan terima kasih pada guru-guru ambo yang tak pernah serik mendidik dan menasihati ambo. Kalau bukan kerana berkat ilmu Cikgu2 semua dgn izin Allah, tak mampu ambo nok capai ke tahap ni. Juga terima kasih pada sahabat2 saudara segayong yg sama2 susah senang bersama. Terima kasih juga pada universiti ambo (UMP) yg menghargai apa yg kumpulan kecil kami usahakan selama ini..... Harap ambo Gayong France akan terus berkembang selama-lamanya...Amin. ;)

Melatih Yang Muda Menjadi Gurulatih...
One of our purpose to be here is to train two UMP students, who have the yellowbelt, to have a chance to teach this art to the French people. It is important for every future Gurulatih to have at least on experience dealing with the international students.
The different point of view, the way of thought, and the pedagogy are the challenge that every Gurulatih must face. More over, those future Gurulatihs start to realize the importance of good communication, verbal and body languange and the motivation.
Hopefully, Universiti Malaysia Pahang will not only produce the good engineer, but also the high level and international martial art instructors for the society. Go! Go! Go!!! ;)

Gayong Jelajah Perancis 2
GJP (Gayong Jelajah Perancis) was our first project in 2005, bringing the Chief of PSSGM Kelantan Tuan Haji Mansor and 3 others Gurulatihs for a tour in France for the demonstration, cultural exchange and martial art seminar. Only after 6 years after the first one, we manage to organize the second GJP, but now it is under the co-operation between AFSSG (Association Francaise Silat Seni Gayong), Association Silat Seni Gayong Universiti Malaysia Pahang a.k.a "Naga Rantau" and PSSGM of state Pahang.
Our team consists of 6 people. 2 students and 4 Cikgus:
Cikgu Shaiful Hakim MOHAMED NOOR: 3rd Dan Blackbelt (PSSGM) : Team Leader, University Lecturer.
Cikgu Zaki AHMAD: 3rd Dan Blackbelt (AKMA), 3rd Dan Redbelt (PSSPGM): University Cultural Officer.
Cikgu Khairul Anwar AHMAD: 1st Dan Blackbelt (PSSGM): Government Medical Assistant.
Cikgu Khairul Afrizal MOHD ALI: 4th Dan Yellowbelt (PSSGM): Officer from Malaysia Ministryof Internal Affair.
Gurulatih Mohd Ihsan AB RAHIM: 1st Dan Yellowbelt (PSSGM): 4th Year UMP Engineering Student.
Gurulatih Mohd Haziq SAHIMI: 1st Dan Yellowbelt (PSSGM): 4th Year UMP Engineering Student.
We are going to do the performance and seminars around Paris and Lille from 30th of October until 7th of November. Those any club wishes to invite our team for the demo or performance, please do contact me on my email or facebook (shaifulhakim@yahoo.com). Those who wishes to attend any seminar also must contact the team leader for the arrangement, as there will be the open seminar for public and also the private (close) seminar ONLY for the Gayong instructors as well.
Any martial art instructor who is interested to get the official formation to be a certified Silat Seni Gayong Instructor, is most welcomed to our seminar.
Salam Persaudaraan.

World Solar Challenge 2011
Alhamdulillah, we have all arrived safely last night to our home after almost one month in Australia. Our team from the Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering, UMP, consists of 18 members, (staffs and students) went to Australia to participate into the World Solar Challenge 2011. Our team manager, Prof Dr. Zahari Taha was there with us in the beginning, but had to take the leave since he was selected to go to Mecca for his pilgrimage. I was the safety officer for the team, but was given the task to replace him as the team manager for the rest of the race.
The race started with the team registration, solarcar static scrutineering, solarcar dynamic scrutineering and the race itself from Darwin in the north to Adelaide in the south for 3000 km. We started the race on Sunday morning and arrived at Adelaide on Saturday noon. Every team celebrated their success of finishing the race by showing their solarcar at the Victoria Square and having fun playing the water in the fountain! Every team put their country flag at the fountain and swapping the t-shirt with the other team members.
During the race, we were accompanied by one observer each time. We had 5 observers through out all time. The dryness, the heat, the sunburn, and the coldness, and more obstacles we faced during the race (we were hold for 4 hours due to the bushfire and twister) just made our team become harder and close.
We came with a really modest solarcar, and must come again with a far better "KILAU 2". I spent much time to visit and share the info with the other team managers. Each of them have a solarcar that cost more than 100 000 USD. The electrical engine itself cost more than 30 000 USD. If UMP SOLARTEAM want to come again in the WSC 2013, then we should have more or less RM 1 million for the project.
I beleive in the solar energy as our future energy. I beleive that the money spent in this industry will bring lot of benefit and wake the people up the importance of this energy. This event, not only giving the award for the team who had finished the line in the first place, but also the various awards like Technical Award, Design Award, Safety Award, and the Best Newcomer Award.
My hope is that UMP will be dare enough to invest into this project as one of the effort for a better future. Our experience for almost one month there is so priceless and the support from the public and private sectors are needed. I do dream a new and energy efficient of KILAU 2....
Many thanks for all UMP Hicom members, FKP Hicom members, and KILAU members.
