Silat Clubs in Cambridge, England

[Calaedros]

Hi,

I practice a form of Pencak Silat called Cimande, and was wondering if anybody knew of any clubs in or around Cambridge, England.

Alternatively, are there any Silat clubs at all in the vicinity?

Thanks,

Calaedros

I know several goog martial arts guys in Cambridge - two of them will certainly be able to help although they don't teach cimande per se.

Contact Ollie Batts at ...

When you contact Ollie also ask him to put you in touch with Fraser Kyne. Fraser is a good mate of mine and only teaches privately - tell him I sent you.

Thanks a lot, Yoda - I've sent an email to Ollie.

Does anybody know of a specific Silat club/guru in Cambridge, though?

Thanks again,

Calaedros

Calaedros,

Steven Benitez, a Silat instructor from London, will be a guest instructor at Ollie's Academy in Cambride on the 2nd and 3rd August.

I know it's only 2 days, but it's better than nothing!

Regards
Wali

Thanks Wali, but I'm (hopefully!) moving to Cambridge in October, so I'll miss that... :(

I'm a student there and have no idea if Silat is taught as a Student club... if it is, it's too small to appear here (http://www.cam.ac.uk/societies/). If you want to go along to a student club, best bet is to e-mail the instructor first and make sure it's ok. Some clubs will let you, others won't.

Aegis,

Steven Benitez will only be there for a 2 day seminar, and doesn't teach there at other times.

Hi Genki_ETHOS,

Glad you enjoyed yourself. I was there assisting Steven deliver the Silat sessions on the Sunday, so probably chatted to you at some stage.
