8th, 9th and 10th Day: GJF2

Solat Hari Raya Aidul Adha di Masjid El Fourkane, Lille bersama Anak Gayong Tayyeb dan Mohammed

My first student ever who took her belt grading while she is pregnant of 4-5 months! Indeed, I was worried for her. But finally she had done very well and hope the baby will have the warrior spirit of her mother! Congratulation Lucilia for white belt (awan putih)! ;)

welcomed at Paris JPA atache, Mr Faris and Mme Aishah. Thanks you for you help, kindness and generosity

Alhamdulillah, Naga Rantau had safely touched down at the KLIA. Eventhough the journey is quite tiring, our souvenir at France will last forever. Before yesterday, we had organized our last seminar and also the "Remise des Ceintures" Ceremony (Penyampaian Bengkung). This program, is actually an annual program of me and my students of Gayong France. At the end of every year, we spend one to two weeks for seminars, classes, training, grading and Gayong ceremony. This is the first time I left and come back with UMP team members for this annual program. And I do hope, next year, other Gelanggang would be interested to join our program also, especially the international Gelanggang like Cikgu Sam's Gayong US, Cikgu Ariffin's Gayong UK, and other international Gelanggang, or even the Gelanggang from Malaysia.

Perhaps, the way I look at Silat Seni Gayong is different. Perhaps, my method of teaching is not the same as yours. Perhaps, our syllabus is quite more or less than your's in Malaysia or other international Gayong association. But that what makes me and Gayong France brothers and sisters are different. We want to be a real Anak Gayong, like the Melayu. But other than me, all of Gayong France family members are French people. This is Gayong of the French people. We hold the Liberty, Egality and Fraternity.

That's why, the exchange program like this must happen. It will bring the benefit for both parties. Those Malay Gurulatih came and learn the Gayong France culture, and the French Anak Gayong will learn the Malay culture. I am happy that my brother of Gayong UMP, Cikgu Zaki, my students from UMP Cikgu Ehsan and Cikgu Haziq, and my brothers of Gayong Pahang Cikgu Anwar and Cikgu Bajan came and learned a lot from Gayong France. Hopefully, the experiences gained here will make the team NAGA RANTAU different from others. NAGA RANTAU brings the ideas of the united Gayong as the vision of the late Mahaguru.

My special thanks to our Naib Cancelor of Universiti Malaysia Pahang Professor Dato' Dr. Daing Nasir Ibrahim, special thanks to Penolong Naib Cancelor, Hal Ehwal Pelajar & Alumni Professor Dr. Yuserrie Zainuddin, YDP PSSGM Pahang Cikgu Rahim Masrom, all of the Naga Rantau team member (Gayong UMP club) and all of Silat Seni Gayong members and Masters, whether from PSSGM, PSSPGM, PSSGWM, PASAK, PSGSM, ADMAA and others Gayong parties for the spirit support for make this program happens.

Love and thanks to my wife Wan Nisrina Wan Abdul Razak, my son Aaisy Aryan Bin Shaiful Hakim, My Mom Hasnah Kadir, my dad Mohamed Noor Abu Bakar, my grandmom Zainab Omar and all of my family for your everlasting support, prayer and helps.

As the French motto said:

Liberté, égalité, fraternité

Liberty, Egality and Fraternity

"Free to be a real Anak Gayong, there is no difference between the various Gayong schools as long as the Mahaguru is Dato' Meor, and Fraternity between brothers and sisters!"

See you again Gayong France. InsyaAllah next year or earlier! ;)

Day 7: Belt Grading & Tradition of "Flower Bathing"

preparation pour le bain...

on se prepare

Capucine, la p'tite guerriere.

Cikgu-Cikgu

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.

We had also trained a lot the syllabus for the kids. Hope that after this, we will start to build up a section for kids, since it's a good plan for the continuation of our team member.

Bravo for a non-stop training tonight and hope that every perticipant will do their best for the belt grading. ;)

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. ;)
