La ceremonie commence...

on ecoute

on regarde

" Vous vous appelez comment? Elle s'appelle comment votre mere?"

On a promis...!!!! Voila les Anak Gayong!

Le bain de fleur est une tradition dans Silat Seni Gayong, fait par chaque etudiant, pour initier cette art. C'est une tradition ou les eleves viennent, proposent quelque chose a un maitre pour qu'il les accept comme les eleves.

Parmis les chose que les etudiants proposent sont le citron vert, les fleurs, le Sintuk (plante speciale en malaisie), les aiguilles, et une somme d'argent.

On appelle ca comme le bain de fleur, car chaque etudiant va ramener le sac plastique contenue de l'eau avec les citrons verts, les fleurs et le sintuk chez eux, et prend le bain a partir de minuit. Le vrai est que, tous ca est pour se nettoyer, plutot symboliquement, pour etre propre comme un nouveau membre dan la famille de Gayong. A l'epoque, y avait pas de savon, donc on utilisait le citron vert pour nettoyer, les fleurs pour les parfumer, et le Sintuk pour fabriquer les mousse. Le tamarin (qui est acide), le sel, le Bertih (popcorn), les bananes et le jus de citron vert sont consomme apres l'offert....

Donc aujourdhui nous avons neuf nouveau Anak Gayong. J'espere vraiment qu'ils seront des Panglima et SriKandi de Gayong! ;) Quart entre eux ont passe leur grade de Ceinture Blanche et Ceinture Vert.

Group photo of "Senzala Capoeira Seminar" at UMP, 2nd of October 2011

I had organized a seminar of Capoeira Senzala with Instructor Pixote from France. It was just that I hadn't enough time to update the news! We are planning to set up a Capoeira Senzala club in the Universiti Malaysia Pahang, and I am sure there will be many student who are interested to this Brazilian martial art. It will be the baby of Capoeira Senzala in Malaysia, and we are proud to say that Senzala school is one of the pioneer group of Capoeira in Brazil. To Instructor Pixote, many thanks for spending a time with us here. Send our best regards to Mestre Sorisso and the Senzala group of Montpellier. InsyaAllah, hope that the project will have a good start.
The first seminar was attended by most of my student in Silat Seni Gayong. Again, it is to let the students to see the martial art differently with the respect to the others. ;)

JAMU MATA....

Day 5: Exchange Visit with "Canne de Combat"

6 Asas Serangan dalam French 'Canne a Combat': Basic bagi permainan Pedang dan Kayu Panjang Perancis.

Prof Laszlho mengajar kami bermain pedang gaya French

Tamat latihan bersama Prof Laszlho dan ahli lain.

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!

ah oauisss... comme dans les vieux temps... lol

.....pesilat wanita dan lelaki melayu...

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....

sedingin bayu utara...

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...

1st Day Training

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

NAGA RANTAU IN FRANCE 2011

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:

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.
