Silat is the most deadly martial arts ever. It is proven fact compared to any other mainstream forms of martial arts. By the time, the silat exponent executes his first move, his opponent would have killed him.

Can you elaborate more on how the first move will be like?

 

[Teo Kok Eng]

Silat is only effective if you wear the malay turban... er, tengolok.

 

[chinkandoo]

Actually their moves are abit like muay Thai...except in slow motion..

if not wrong they are not allowed to kick high eg head level.
my unarmed combat instructor always said: kick the bloody face 1st.

Its only mariginally useful in conjuction with the use of the below, otherwise its just a time wasting performance in malay weddings

BTW, why use 3 strokes to hit an opponent when i can just aim for his balls or his face with one?

Whatever martial arts, it is only good if the fighter has guts and able to take the blows from the opponent.

I agree that Silat is a deadly kongFu! When they start to dance around, the opponent let their guard down... Some may even laugh... That's when the Silat master strikes n kill his opponent.

The best martial is being a boxer. You never know what is like being punched by a boxer. How many other martial have trained to be punched on the face. And if you fight a boxer. There is a slim chance you can ever hit his face. Words coming from an ex-boxer.

Silat is the malay version for Ninja. Judging by their costume's color.

The more commonly seen silat nowadays are the demo version. But don't underestimate traditional pencak silat from Java cos it can be a deadly art.

Silat ? Don't make me laugh.

Like our trainers in the army use to say, "You all father mother son will kill the enemy, they will all laugh to death".
