PCK International
The PCK Silat Blog was designed to offer up to date news, pictures, video and articles from PCK international. PCK Silat is one of the most deadly, combative, progressive and well rounded Silat systems in the world. We offer all aspects of Silat in our training: Combative, Meditative and Cultural. From PCK Silat you will get everything you have ever looked for in a Martial Art in one place. An art that is as beautiful as it is deadly, one that is progressive and is aware of the threats in our ever changing world. An art that teaches you how to hurt but also how to heal using the ancient methods of Indonesian Internal Energy and Massage. Silat is no sport. If you are looking for an art that provides real world results, under any circumstances, then look no further. PCK Silat offers an ancient warrior art from the jungles of Indonesia that can offer you the skills needed to survive today's modern urban jungle.

All power in silat comes from gelek (twisting or
coiling), although sometimes this can be difficult to see. If you do a
strike or technique slowly enough, however, you should be able to tell
where the twist is. Pay attention to your entire body. The twist for a
kick or punch is often in the hips or waist, not the striking limb,
although it can be there, too. Some movements have gelek in more than
one place. Gelek even exists in stances. The ways in which a posture
allows you to twist defines the set of options that posture gives you in
combat. Find the gelek, and you find the source(s) of your power. Put
your consciousness in those places when you train a technique. Work to
keep those specific parts of your body strong and supple and
responsive. Then try to make the gelek smaller until you can deliver
the same amount of force with less wind up.
Also,
be mindful of gelek in your opponent. The job of the rasa (intuition)
is to detect tension. Find the tension, and you find the danger. With
practice, you will intuitively put yourself where an opponent has the
least gelek. Fewer blocks, more energy, less bruises.
Finally,
experiment. Find all of the parts of your body that can coil and
uncoil and all the ways they can do so. These movements are the roots
of your silat, and all of the techniques that you have learned or will
learn use them. They are what make silat strong, unpredictable, and
beautiful.

Greetings from Tennessee
As you may or may
not know, Guru Muda Chris Henslee has been named as the new director
for the state of Tennessee. He – um, that is I - will be taking
over the administration of PCK activity there. I live just outside of
Nashville and have a brand new email address for PCK Tennessee
business (pcksilattn [AT] gmail [DOT] com), so feel free to contact
me if you have questions or concerns. Also keep an eye out here for
me to ramble on and on about stuff I probably know nothing about.
Guru Derek gave me free rein to post on the blog, and when time
permits, I hope to abuse that privilege mercilessly.
I am also exploring
the possibility of setting up a discussion forum where Tennessee students and instructors can share
ideas and compile information about our art. Invitations to this
forum will be sent out via email, so be sure to update
your contact info with me or Guru Derek if you are in Tennessee and wish to participate.
