SILAT: Underhooks & Overhooks - Guro. Kent Nelson 

Thank you for your kind feedback.

Sergio, thank you for your comment. The school we are demonstrating at is a Parker's Kempo school that became an Affiliate school in our program. The logo you see in the video is fusion of our two logos together. Check them out at MassAcademyMA.com We do two seminars a year there.

Thank you Stefan. My primary Silat instructor is actually Guro Dan Inosanto, although I have researched & trained with others as well. When you say "M.M.", I'm assuming you're meaning Guro Maul Mornie. Maul & I do know each other, and I have trained with him a few times. He is a fantastic representative of Silat, and a very nice person.

@@t.kentnelsonkskmartialarts3403 thanks, I feel the same way. After a short time, if we are lucky we find highly skilled teachers whom can be easily identified by their warmth, inner happiness and general good nature. When I was young I was confronted with the harsh realities on the less hospitable streets in the ghettos of D.C. and Baltimore. Through clairvoyant experiences I met my first teacher. A hard as nails product of Karate in Japans wartime culture. It worked. But I could only, when so blessed, hurt people. I was on a spiritual journey. Looking for a more effective and yet gentle path. In 1980 or 1981 I had another clairvoyant experience which led me directly to my last teacher. He gave me the tools to hurt a person gently. But it does take great patience, perseverance, and good fortune. The closest thing to the way I teach my students is how Maul and yourself deal with aggression. I try to avoid fighting if possible. The world makes the practice of Ahimsa challenging.. I stay in the EU for now. But would enjoy an afternoon with Maul or yourselves at sometime. Currently my go to mentor for joint manipulation is still Dr. Yang. He is only one of five men in the world I would spend my time with. As you grow older there is no commodity more precious than your time. Respect, and kind regards. Overcome the darkness. Return the light. Laoshr #60 Ching Yi Kung Fu Association. Vienna, Austria.

Nice to hear Dan's name and that you acknowledge Mornies Brunei an SSBD which he's obviously more skilled than many. Ever checked out the Silat girl with the iron leg etc, kicking light posts, concrete pillars etc-she's badass..

We had one KunTao club in Stockholm, vanished after a year or so. It sucks - Im bored at muay-thai and takedown defence drills. I wanna "crush fruit"!

@@hinhaale2501 I can't even crush a grape. They beat me down like the little beatch I am. Especially when a whole "bunch" of them gang up on me. I'm so helpless. Sigh.....!

Thank you for the kind words.

Thank you! We'll crash into each other eventually, LOL. I'll be back in the Boston area again sometime around October for an all weapons seminar. I'd love for you to come out and join us if you can. We're also holding our annual Weapons Camp at my school in Lansing, MI. August 17-18. We'd love to see you if you're available!

@@t.kentnelsonkskmartialarts3403 would love to but I doubt I can make either of those unfortunately. I'm on your mailing list so I will at some point :)

Thank you very much.

Thank you for your comment. Yes, our curriculums have a heavy Kali & Silat background. Our primary Silat root is the Madjapahit/Maphilindo Silat taught through the Inosanto lineage.

@@t.kentnelsonkskmartialarts3403, Respect to D. Inosanto too, real legend.

@@t.kentnelsonkskmartialarts3403 Didn't Dan Inosanto train with Bruce btw?

@@hinhaale2501 Yeah

Our primary location is in Lansing, MI. KskMartialArts.com

I am deeply flattered by your comment, thank you. More than half of my knowledge base comes from Guro Dan Inosanto. He has been one of my teachers since roughly the year 2000. He continues to set the bar for me each and every time I train with him.
