We may have the opportunity to host a Silat Seminar for one of Herman Suwanda's top students. GM Shelley is asking if we'd host for a gentleman that will be in the midwest at some point. In addition to Mande Muda Silat, this guy teaches Sayoc Kali.
So... if interested, let me know. Just in the planning stages right now, so I don't have dates/times/prices. Give me some feedback.

Hey everyone! We have a great oppurtunity to host the number one student of the late Pak Herman Suwanda, creator of the Mande Muda system of Pencak Silat. Bahati Mershant has been a student of Pak Herman since the early 80's. Bahati would travel to Indonesia to train with him every year. This is before Guro Dan Inosanto was introduced to him. Bahati is also a certified Sayoc Kali instructor under Tom Kier and Chris Sayoc. Here is a video that Bahati made of our teachers in Jogjakarta, Indonesia. These are the same teachers we had when we visited Indonesia several years ago. These are also Guru Danny's teachers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZmBWc4krgMHere are some vids of Bahati teaching at Uncle Bill's Gathering. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c12D2DDgrUwww.youtube.com/watch?v=UDQX1wiZL3sWe are looking at November for the seminar date. Vince will post the proposed date shortly. Hopefully everyone will be able to make this event. Bahati is an amazing person and practitioner. |

Sounds like fun! Will this be in Wichita? Let us know...I'm sure some of here in KC would roadtrip down for this event.

A quick note on the video Bahati made about Silat in Indonesia.
Pusaka Sakti Mataram Lakutama is a group similar to Kapatiran Mandirigma in that it is an umbrella to several different arts. The people representing PSML are as follows:
Guru Daniel Prasetya - Inti Ombak Pencak Silat
Guru Mas Sigit - Lakutama (he is the guy with glasses doing majick and healing)
Guru Doel Wahab - old Kuntao master (he is the guy in the gray buzz haircut)
There are others in the group who are not in the video.
Regarding the majick in the video at the beginning......its really hard to explain in words without you actually witnessing it first hand. We'll just leave it at that.
Regarding the healing.....very old type of healing that is based on the vedic practices of chakra's.
The lady demonstrating the keris dance is named Desi. She is a dancer for the Kraton (royal palace) in Jogjakarta. She was there assisting us during our visit.
