@@alpha_neandethal_primarch umm how?
Not if the oponent is resisting
Ya know, I’ve always had this weird urge to learn martial arts, and I’ve always looked through and for some reason always came back to Silat. Turns out my dad practiced it throughout his whole life and was a champion for our whole country. Now I really want to learn Silat.
Go get it dawg
@@maidai-theswonk9900 For real no bullies would put out their balls to bully you
😂😂😂
So shut up and go train.
Damn, I'm sorry to hear that he wasted so much of his time on an efficient "martial art" that'll get you beat up on the street.
I'm Bruneian,i do believe silat is also one of the very powerful martial arts,other than silat ,I also admired Chinese and Japanese martial arts,it doesn't matter which martial arts you're in,as long as we train hard,disciplined,be humble and improvise our attitude,s success is just ahead,peace! :D
Well said salaam alaikum brother!
Ous! Much respect! So good to see proper responses to real training other than the mma meathead fanboys.
Very good thinking brother...
Mohammad Tarmizi Amen Sir! 👍🏼👍🏼
Right
Explained expertly. Using your body's natural armor i.e areas of thick muscle mass to take hits is extremely important. You don't want to get hit but you do want to be able to take it of you do. And no big muscles don't mean you're invincible. It's the structure and relaxation that's key. Love this. Great work
Great information! Truly a paradigm shift in my silat knowledge. Thank you
Always so beautiful to watch you display your art. Been a subscriber for some time and I always enjoy every one of your videos!
In The U.S. many call themselves Masters. Few are. I have been training in various arts for 36 years. Watching this man teach I see the talent of a Master. Very good material, footwork esp.
How long would it take for someone to "master" a particular art. Say for example silat? thank you
I'm certainly no master in Silat, but I did train in it for a while, and I think it would take longer than most. If you trained seriously in muay Thai for six months, you could undoubtedly use it to defend yourself, but Silat would take longer. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but there's a wider range of training in Silat.  Weapons, ground work, etc., and quite honestly, while complexity is usually to be eschewed in martial arts, Silat is rather complex in some of its moves. I would also suggest it's something you should start at a younger age. The range of motion in the moves can be challenging for someone older.
You can look at it from a different direction. Because Pencak Silat is such a complex style with a wide variety of moves, there are plenty of moves to choose from for any body type. Just pick the moves that suit your body type best. You don't have to master every aspect of Silat to be a good fighter.
i assume the natural body armour used in SSBD takes years for a practical integration into many movements. I´m quite amazed by that.
everything so fluidly too^^
Love MKG for always bringing in high quality instructors. Looking forward to Guro Inosanto in September.
Always an exp with Guro Dan! An overload of information
I love Guru Maul silat, so seamless and look effortless yet effective & deadly. When I was a child, it never came to my mind that Brunei has a quality silat. When I grow up and I learn that in the past Brunei Kingdom was way larger than its present size. And it makes sense that to conquer big land area you must have quality combat technique (and also other factors like strategy, strength etc). What Guru Maul possesses and shows is perhaps the reminiscence of the old glorious Brunei Kingdom. Much respect !
thank you. have been watching your videos for a few years. i am always enjoying your skill in teaching. i have learned alot from you =) thanks again
This guys teaching is to the point and direct! Gotta love a teacher like that! COME TO LOS ANGELES!
He's coming: August 27-28th, 2016 to California
No need , I am in silat heaven right now
whoa! I come back to watch this again and it already has over a million views! Maui has definitely brought up the name of Silat!
I hold a 5th degree Black in Hapkido and a 4th in Daito Ryu Aiki jujitsu And I was Fortunate enough to learn a few Silat techniques which in my opinion are far exceeding other Martial arts.
I'll take hapkido or hwarng do over the others . If I had the health and could find either close by
@@jerrywoods4066 In Vietnam, the Korean Special Forces guys would just jokingly slap around our guys like they were nothing. They ALL knew ONE style.. Hwrang-do. Hwrang-do is an exceptional MA and how it grew in Korea with these other 'sport' styles is a mystery. Hapkido is the Karate version of aikido.. you know.. Master Segal's style. lol
@@philip6419 oh no hapkido is not exactly like aikido . It is much more aggressive. Hapkido was taught to green berets and fighting units. It was very combat orientated.

Yes it is, as long as the opponent uses only 10% power!

always amazed at the depth of silat teaching
added to my saved list; good stuff. imho silat, kali, and modern arnis are superb.
What a beautiful demonstration. Reminds me deeply of advanced wing chun. Especially concerning technical preservation and structure and core shattering power generation and penetration of Chum kiu and biu gee forms. An absolute pleasure to watch :)
Awesome as always Guro Mornie.
Maul is Brilliant, great imagination flows with the ease, amazing.
Having trained Silat, I know first hand that it is effective and pragmatic. So may principles he talks about are key to all the arts, body structure, wholeness of body movements, effective range etc are all very real and a high level of experience. With this in mind I would like to point out that in reality there is only one moment. Your split second is shared with the other. If the opponent is anywhere near your level, you each get the same one split second. So then we don’t get four movements for the others one. I’m sure the teacher knows this, but observers will misinterpret the static demonstration. South east MA often have a 3 strikes in one time philosophy. But still the split second is just one.
Thank you. I was watching and thinking "but no one throws a punch and leave their arm out for 5sec. I would love to see some of these masters use practical application as opposed to the standard static/theory application.
@@tlcem075 Those pauses only exist for demonstration of the technique. The master stops the movement at a point to show you that point. If you're watching this video, I'm seeing him stop at the joint locks - and that's honestly polite terminology. He's really stopping at the point where you destroy the joint and rip bones out of their supporting soft tissue. We often forget these are martial arts. They're military techniques used to help you kill other people. We don't always treat it with that level of respect because of the way martial arts are often taught in the US: for a good workout, highly sanitized for kids, or for sport. When we study an art that honestly doesn't have any of that like silat, we're back to learning how to maim or kill people. And if you want to practice those techniques, you need to know how to protect your training partner so you can both show up at the next practice without injury to train.
@@kma3647 These techniques will not work against a fighter who knows what they are doing period. These are made for the dojo to look good. You will never see these martial artists in the ring and there is a reason for it.
Its very similar to Arnis ( it’s sister art )
My question is do you have any videos of this being done when the person is not cooperating so I can learn?
Another awesome video. Great techniques. Thanks.
I would quit my pain meds if I can train with this master
Sweet and beautiful! Thank you!
Very nice stuff. This is real Silat. Techniques aimed at crippling and breaking. No competition stuff just pure self defence. 👊👍
Yes.. as a Wing Chun SiFu I too see "Rules" as idiotic on the street.
@@philip6419 Wow, is whing chun proves to be a somewhat efficient on a street? Thats a breaking news.
@@MKirisame And what 'street' are you sarcastically referring to?

so happy to see so many loving you man. Keep it up. Your details and explanations are getting more refined. Great point right there. And reminding them to stay rooted. Definitely need you in Cali.

I am not a master just taught by those that are one but I will love to share knowledge with this kind of fellowship. The mahayanna martial art center in forest hill queens New York City will come soon. I want instructors like this to cross train with my students. Thank you for this video and may all sentient beings witness this profound brilliant glory.
ramces gaston maul will be in Connecticut March of 2020 if you’re interested
Finally I see someone actually showing the art and unorthodox strikes. Vary good job sir.
Excellent Demo. Thanks guys. I love watching a pure martial artist "centre". What i mean is nothing is off balance, it all comes from the core with almost minimum movement.. and plan A has a plan B ready. No big swinging hoping to connect but nothing if it doesn't.. Beautiful.
Now this is real demonstration.. you can see the pain from these people’s faces. And you can see his understanding of the martial he is teaching from his explanations. He understands each moves purposes.
Wow, great martial arts information. Thank you for sharing Sir.
Maul is head and shoulders above everyone else teaching. Hope to train with you in the future my friend
I saw two things that tell me he is the real deal. 1. Keep the elbows down. 2. Keep your feet planted to the ground. He knows where the power is coming from. Awesome!!!
Eeeh, and yet it seems logical that pushing someones hand with your shoulder will do anything to them? dude wtf XD
I trained Minangkabau silat and I trust this guy to be a master, his skills are legit
Is there a videos of his full contact sparring with other martial arts adepts? Only such display is legit, not kicking own students.
The first time i knew it existed was yesterday, and I just felt nostalgic by the name . SILAT , it reminded me of SALAT(muslim prayer) , i just felt attached to it . Now, I am loving it more and more. Wish it was in my country.
Thanks. I'm Indonesian Muslim.
Some say it also means: silaturrahim/ to love others among Muslims, silat is martial art of Muslim teach by descendents of prophet Muhammad, Saiyid Thana'uddin to hang tuah Muslim in Nusantara have 3 thing to defend the country from Christian invander: SALAT, SALAWAT, SILAT

Enjoyed this video. Have not heard of this art, very nice. Never stop training!

Silat is beautiful. One of my favourite Martial Arts.🙏
silat martial art from brunei,malaysia,indonesia and singapore
Silat - The martial art of turning your opponent into a pretzle
Jujitsu the art of folding clothes, while someone is still wearing them
@@wolfiedabrony1802 gun is an art too. If you can't defeat an opponent. Take your stance. Make a serious face, then take your gun and shoot them immediately. Epic win
Same can be said for BJJ although Silat does more of that so yes
& With The Help Of A Karambit, U Turn Them Into SWISS CHEESE, lol...
wow, i never knew Brunei has such a wonderful form of silat!
I believe it's not limited to the borders of Brunei. When I was growing up in the Malaysian state of Sabah, which shares a border with Brunei, I learned a silat which has a lot of similarities to Maul's Silat Suffian. Most likely it's a regional thing.
sure..silat is commonly used for malay people..such as indo, malaysia, south thai n a small region in phliphine..
+Arista Gaming semua bnda nk claim indon punya. sila claim israel pun dr indon. sbb tu perangai indon mcm israel, pencuri dan pengganas. tp tak pandai mcm israel, cuma bodoh dan tolol. semua claim dr indon, tp negara mundur. timor leste pun tak boleh jaga shingga keluar dr indon. hahahaha
silat is expended wide at south east asia
Malay silat
Looks good, the partners do a good job.
I find it fascinating how natural this looks for the master to do, yet it is so effective and agressive...
Thank you Peter and Stacy for bringing Maul to MKG Minneapolis.
1:50 I love how he says “bless you” as the demonstration is starting lol
on god haha ty for pointing that out lmaoo
Never heard of this. looks fantastic!
It is the martial art of Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei - generally that part of the world.
@@tonyswietochowski2282 yes. but if wanna learn, then learn from " town" or "bussiness" Master. if u learn the rural or deep village silat, theyll use djinn power . dangerous in long terms for u.
I've studied Silat for a very long time and this guy is the real deal :)
I can’t believe so many people gave him thumbs down.... this guys is superbly good !!!! Thanks for the video
Nice rhythm I do see a lot of taijitsu from the unarmed ninjitsu style in the first half of this video. Never got round to Silat yet but I do like the flow an rhythm of it. 🙏🏻🇬🇧
This is a completely different level to anything else i'veseen. A true master
True master of cooperative students who leave their limbs out for him to manipulate instead of realistic multiple, rapid blows that aren't rehearsed.
Salam Silat 🙏 very inspirative Mr. Maul thank you for sharing your skills. Alloh blessing you aamiin
Martial arts unifies through understanding and respect...
silat full of art.. it soft but pain.. seem not dangerous.. but deadly. . it step keep forward to its finish . . its not for street fighting.. but defend family,country n harmony.. . power always come with responsibility. the true silat practitioner at highest level well known as Pendekar. . try to google Hang Jebat or Hang Tuah.
i want to know the basic movements and conditioning, do you have a book please
love your Silat!!! very different in a way from the Hugo Tronche style! love both!! thks for sharing
This was very well choreographed, you guys flow very well together, quite aesthetically appeasing.
yes it's like a dance
Not as homoerotic as MMA and BJJ? Disappointed were you? Do you like watching sweaty men roll around on the ground hugging. 🤔 Funny how choreographed it would look while this guy was breaking you apart. Stick to commenting on things you know something about. It will save you embarrassment.
amazing!!
БОЛЬШОЕ СПАСИБО, ранее такое только в художественных фильмах по тайчи видел
Sou teu FÃ, aqui no brasil , pena que não tenho suas aulas por aqui, gostaria muitíssimo, mesmo assim agradeço por assistir teus vídeos bem elaborados.
Silat is an awesome MA. Especially with knives.
I am continually impressed with Silat and, I like his reference to Muay Thai conditioning cause it's legit.
Brunei silat is very interesting...must be this cool instructor and his clear explanations. Nice!
Amazing fundamentals on their foundation
worth buying a plane ticket to come train with the dude. Absolute beast

Yeah mee too
thanks bro.. we are proud of master
Glacier Blue wtf
The instructor I respect the most. I wish I get a chance to train with him! Please visit North America.
Very nice video. He’s obviously very adept with the art. Very good, practical, and in depth demonstrations. Lucky you have him as instructor... I CMA they call that sinking, aside from iron body training.
What a beautiful fighting style.
Silat is the purest of self defence you can get.. All about counter striking.. Ive yet to meet a silat master who teaches to strike first.. Always about self defence and counter strike.. Strikes that could kill or resulting the opponent losing the use of a limb. Very fatal.. Grateful i had the chance to learn this beautiful art of defence..
Actually it because you met a teacher. Not old native fighter. Here in my country the old people are restricted themself to teach the ultimate movement to their silat student who is beginer or intermediate. They only teach the lethal deadly move (which is real) to person who need it on actual master of combatan. And it was same to the teacher. They teach you the silat version of self defence. Because core of silat is to defense against do or die condition. But to attack back lethaly it will go on more more advance level.
Muchas gracias... Me encanto.. 👏👏👍... Espero que algún día... Éste gran arte marcial.. Pueda llegar a la República de Chile 🇨🇱.. Y tener la posibilidad de poder practicar éste maravilloso arte marcial denominado Silat de Brunéi.. Saludos cordiales desde la República de Chile 🇨🇱... Gracias nuevamente. 👍
This man is a fun teacher.🙋
Don't mess with the guy who, when you kick him, apologizes for hurting you.
nimmivids couldn't say it better. :D
tronald dump thai, brunei, malaysia, indonesia, they are neighbour so the master of each martial art will be knowledgeable about each other strenght and weaknes.
@tronald dump are you dumb...do some research ffs....silat practitioners in south East Asia are basically the neighbours of muay Thai master and yet they are still not conquered!! Ffs It has always been efforts over bullshit you keyboard warriors.... practice makes perfect!!....Yea your enemy don't really stay still like a rock....so options are needed for the next actions depends on his action..then you do the follow up s..dats what practices are for you little dumbfuck!!
@@killingheaven3729 this is an example when people judging by media and movie. He thought his balls will stay intact if he swing like muay thai kick to silat. What he dont know the main target in silat is to crush all the vital point. That is why the stance are very low.
@tronald dump tuyu
This martial art is actually used for kill enemy in a war...Mostly country in south east asia. The tecnique not just used a hand and kick but its include use of weapons.
It's for broking bone To opponent
It's self defense actually
we often use small weapon like karambit, its useful and easy to hide
Silat goes hand in hand with Eskrima which is like an accompaniment.
Terima kasih sudah mempopulerkan seni beladiri asal indonesia
Silat untuk mempererat persaudaraan🙏,buka untuk di lihat mana yang lebih hebat,(selalu bangun akhlak dulu biar yang belajar di gunakan dengan benar) sehat selalu semua.❤️
I rarely like internet teachers but this man has many good elements in his style. Very impressive.
You know they're a master when they wear converse for pencak silat XD
Brilliant. I love this.
Salam , when did you come In France ? Kind regards
I live in Brunei Darussalam XD people here are very nice and hospitable :)
Yes unless you're not Muslim. Worse if you're a Christian.
Like the grappling moves but I have my doubts leaving the chin exposed. Still very interesting art.
I think chin exposed is dangerous. But not sure if it's the martial art nature like a trap. Automatically will puch or do a chop on the wrist when someone attacks. In my case, my hand would hit the inner part of the elbow to disable it. The more accurate the attacker to hit the chin the more the technique is executed.
Most boxers don't do it they grap off of it
this man is awesome!
Terbaik Tuan Guru..Semoga warisan Silat nusantara setanding dengan seni bela diri yg lain.
kalau dari segi teknik dan skill,silat memang power dari kebanyakan martial arts tapi kalau dari segi popularity,silat ketinggalan jauh sebab ramai anak melayu taknak belajar seni bela diri silat ☹️
this made my elbows and knees scream in pain. good stuff.
salam tuan, d brunei biskita mengajar dmana? kalau ada masa kn mau blajar jua arh kita
Merci pour cette vidéo toujours très intéressante. 🙏
i have to say the joint locks alone are amazing yet look so painful , even as bjj lover , silat locks and submissions looks absolutely painful and yet so smooth .
mari lestarikan budaya nusantara
I’ve never seen a martial art like this. Incredible!
Maybe you must seen of Silat Sitalarak from Minang-Indonesia
Any beginners video or online course, where we can drill the basics by ourselves? Are there 'forms/kata' in the system . Great videos, Cheers for sharing. Respect
Most silat training is live action role playing against compliant opponents. I trained extensively all throughout Indonesia between 1974 and 1982 - culminating in taking Gold at the inaugural World Silat Championships in Jakarta. The only athletes that made it past the first round, were one that did bagwork, roadwork and daily sparring - the rest were wiped out with little to no ceremony.
Ive fought in the silat tournament circuit for 3 years during my college years. Ive passed that phase in my martial arts journey. Im 45 years old now, if you have trained extensively in Indonesia then you would understand there is no career future past being a silat athlete. Now I teach civilians and law enforcement in 4 different continents role playing against compliant opponent and I train 60 students a week. None of the champion athletes that wiped out everyone in the first round had any future in the sport past their peak age. Those who "role play" on the other hand is doing just fine.
Learned Silat in school for 4 years, never felt so brave. Still need more training tho.
That's great they teach self defence to kids especially girls in school wish they did the same here
Awesome
why do u copy and paste ur same comment in every other silat video? i noticed okey. its like ur a robot or someone fishy.. haha
