    Silat "Merpati Putih" is one of indonesian martial arts
    in addition to teaching physical technique, Merpati Putih also teach non-physical techniques like Inner Power technique, Vibration technique, ect.

    Mate. I've been to Indo and tried Silat first-hand there. There are maybe a handful of schools that take a realistic view to their training, while the rest make all sorts of wild shamanistic and supernatural claims.

    Some of the stories gurus and pendekars tried to sell me included a talking keris, being possessed, turning into a tiger, and curing blindness with their thoughts. It's all bollocks.

    Thus, I will treat this thread with all the seriousness it deserves.

    No, I think it's fake because science has already disproved it (bold mine):

    "In the preliminary test, done under the conditions chosen by the claimants, the results for 100 percent correct. At that point, proper blindfolds were applied to conduct the formal preliminary tests. To quote Professor Sohl, the "subject voiced repeated concern about the blindfold and was clearly concerned about it. After over 45 minutes of delays, he managed to free the blindfold enough to see (which is caught completely on video tape). The clearly-loose blindfold was reapplied at which point the subject became distressed again. Finally, after many more delays the subject ran the test . . ." After a series of delays totaling over an hour, the results were three correct out of 19 trials, while the odds by chance alone would have called for 3.2 correct.

    [...]

    You may wish to go to www.merpatiputih.com, the web page of
    I. G. M. P., and see just how much they will charge to teach blind people to see. It amounts to $116,500 for the full course. To quote their advertisement:

    Objects around us generate vibrations and ILMU GETARAN MERPATI PUTIH relies on our innate ability to detect the vibrations of objects nearby. This ability or sense can be improved by practice.

    Well, 20 years of practice doesn't seem to have improved the Indonesian practitioner who performed for the preliminary test in Utah. He did no better than a Chinese fortune cookie. And just why didn't the "Master" of these performers allow himself to be tested? There has to be a very good reason for that, though the believers will reason around it. This group is very similar to the Mexicans I tested some years ago on Japanese television, in that they, too, claim that they can teach the blind to see. This is a cruel hoax and deception. We at the JREF are very distressed to know that these things are going on, and that we are essentially powerless to stop them."

    the more strong a silat warrior, the more humble he is, and our master don't want to showoff for uploading video on youtube

    I know that it fell apart as a pack of lies under proper conditions (ie. when you remove the ability to cheat). Do you know why that is?

    Please stop spamming the videos, they prove nothing.

    The shame is, I'm sure there are good things about it - balance, confidence etc.. Shame it has to be sold as another chi cult money-spinner :(

    if you think you can disprove Merpati Putih technique, come and prove it

    you never can disprove about inner power from human capability, because the human capability consists of two, physical and non-physical, and the TECHNOLOGY NEVER can disprove the non-physical of human capabiliy

    You miss the point.

    You have to prove it works.

    So far it seems that they have failed to do that under neutral and controlled conditions, so it's likely just nonsense that's sold for no other reason than to defraud people.

    You should take a good look at yourself and why you are peddling this stuff.

    Yes I did.

    Cool, so it doesn't cost anything then?

    5000 miles is a bit far for me to test it out...

    Now, the weird/funny thing is, I did once have a hard-to-explain experience where it seemed that I could see through my eyelids (doesn't mean I think I did)... but I still think you guys are scamming people for money.

    Of course, that doesn't mean that you don't believe it yourself. Could you tell us some of your personal experiences with MP?

    From the website you linked to (bold mine):

    "Peace, Understanding, Acceptance and Helpfulness are found throughout every MP Member of every rank and as we become more aware and gain experience, these attributes increase dramatically. Typically, a Member must remain in each of the basic levels (Dasar 1 thru Balik 2) for at least 6 months, with Senior Levels (Kombinasi 1 thru Kesegeran) requiring a minimum of 1 year’s experience before testing can take place."

    Does that mean that one can become a senior-level martial artist in a year?

    haidarfarhan,

    So far, what you've done is post a series of videos that serve as advertisements for your school, style, and teacher. When those videos were scrutinized rather than welcomed with open arms, you claimed that science could neither confirm nor deny this power that you nevertheless claim is real. People have cited studies which you have rejected. So, on the one hand, you tell us that your claims aren't subject to analysis because your style defies explanation. On the other hand, a study with some actual scientific rigour to it, that you dismiss out of hand.

    All of which accumulates to make you an increasing liability to your style. If your master is really interested in promoting what he does, the pair of you should really rethink your strategy. You're not winning anyone over with the current approach.

    Utter stupidity

    It's fake - it has been shown to be fake and every time it is tested it will continue to be fake

    You have put forth ZERO to counter the objections and are instead wailing like a petulant child
