    Hello,

    I know we have talked about movies with Silat but what about Celebrities that study or have studied Silat.

    I consider an intense 6-week course for a movie like the "Hunted" to qualify as have studied but I don't consider a day or two of technique for a specific fight scene as have studied.

    Here are the ones I know of:

    Bruce Lee - Willem Reeders, Willy Wetzel, Paul DeThours
    Brandon Lee - Dan Inosanto
    Lucy Lui - ?
    Wesley Snipes - Cliff Stewart, Steven Benitez
    Steven Seagal - Dan Inosanto
    Tommy Lee Jones - Sayoc Kali Silat
    Benicio Del Torro - Sayoc Kali Silat

    Anyone know of any other actors, athletes or models who have studied?

    Sincerely,
    Teacher: Eddie Ivester

    Ross Kemp - Steve Benitez

    He's a big star in the UK, with leading roles in shows like Eastenders & Ultimate Force. Probably a total unknown in the US, unless you watch UK tv on cable.

    Thankfully for him he knew Silat, and easily defended himself! :p

    My answer is, as usual, "Who cares?" In fact, I'll be very unhappy if Silat ever becomes a celebrity thing. You'll get bad schools popping up like mushrooms after the rain.

    Gajah Silat Ayo berantam!

    Could have been worse. I expect Letitia 'Sharon' Dean could KO many a man.....complete with a Miss Piggy Hiiiiyaaaah :D

    I think a Grant Mitchel Silat fight in Eastenders would go down a treat. At least it would liven the miserable soap up! More of an Emmerdale man myself ;)
