Though I kinda miss it. Especially pencak silat. The trainer was a total badass:

Image

He has been doing pencak silat since 1975 and 1990 he was sent by the Indonesian pencak silat organisation IPSI to Europe as the official emissary of the art. He has reached the 2nd-highest attainable level at pencak silat and he is regularly travelling to Sweden, Belgium, Spain or Austria to supervise championships and give workshops. Basically the best person you can imagine studying the art under. He has a huge collection of ancient silat weapons at home (like the knives you see). I did some training with dull knives, but mostly with fighting sticks. The guy is about 165-168 cm tall and weighs no more than 55-57 kg, but he could get you on the ground within a second.

Really? Surely the best person to study under would be the guy that attained the highest level of Pencak Silat, no?

No. I mean, I don't think you get worse riding a bike after haven't ridden it for a while, do you? You certainly get worse with martial arts. Of course I remember the stances, the standard moves, but the reflexes are gone and the more complex combinations, I do not remember.

Oh, I have no doubt. Unless I used the English Kung Fu Bulldog stance. I think he'd had a pretty difficult time trying to get me down.

Sure, but as far as I know there are none of those in Germany and maybe not even in Europe.

He could do it with one finger. That's not even an exaggeration.

No. He wants to teach actual students and promote the sport.

I see you underestimate the Bulldog technique. ;)

Yeah, training movie stars to go on and make films about Pencak Silat just isn't reaching a wide enough audience for this guy. :roll:

First: there are no such films made in Germany or any neighboring countries.

Second: no, it is not. You have seen The Raid films and you still have probably never heard of the art.

You think you're the only one to have heard of it? lol

The Raid films did huge things for the exposure of the art, actually. I heard of it because of those films. As did millions of others. So there's definitely more value in getting it into films than teaching a few classes a week to a few people in Germany.

And to your first point, you said he was sent from Asia ... so he obviously can go back there too.

And I am sure there are emissaries doing just that. He was sent to train and promote championships.

Nothing really beyond getting into wrestling matches w/ my brothers.

Although in 1st grade I did shove this kid to the ground for taunting me.

In 7th? grade, I almost got in a fight with a kid at school. I was with my friends in the school yard and this guy shoved me and I fell backwards onto the ground. My friend immediately jumped on this dude and beat him down. Which was a consistent thing for me growing up. Friends always went to bat for me, whether I wanted them to or not.

In 8th grade, I believe a guy was messing with my little brother (MovieGeek) and I "fought" him, by dodging a punch and grabbing his arm. But that was the end of it.


MovieGeek is your brother?!


For 25 years now!

In high school, this awful girl I was playing against in lacrosse tripped me (on purpose) so hard that I smacked my head into the ground and almost got a concussion. I clocked her in the face later.

That's the extent of my physical altercations though.
