    Im curious to know what silat schools there are in britain and/or europe. im not particularly interested in the big flashy expensive, schools that claim to be the best but really just care about making money and having students held by contracts and other rubbish- im looking for the simplest, purest school where a proper teacher can show me the ropes of this interesting martial art as im wanting to broaden my understanding of it all. Any help please.

    Hey OkamiRonin,

    Welcome to the Forum. I would advise you come and see us at EastWest Studios in North West London. The details are at www.eastweststudios.com.

    You can simply Pay as you go, per class, so no binding contracts or anything like that.

    Have you done any silat before? Hope to see you soon.

    Regards,
    Wali

    Unfortunately there is not a major amount of purely silat schools in the UK, as you would find more Karate or kickboxing schools etc. If you find a school that just does silat then you might be on the right path, but remember that you should check out all credentials of any instructor. Silat is a really good art, as you may or may not know!! Have Fun! :D

    On a related topic, that site is terribly designed.... with so much flashing text it is unreadable.... for instance: http://www.de-bordesfoundation.com/products_contact.htm


    EDIT: This appears to be happening in FireFox only, IE is showing it non-flashing.... but I dont use IE :D

    Hi Ramana
    Great to hear from you. It good to find another supporter of Pukulan Cimande Pusaka on the forum. I love to go to the States soon and hopefully will happen soon. I'm busy at the moment with classes here in Ireland and Uk and we now soon be opening our first branch in Africa so the art will soon be Represented World wide. Ramana its a pity we didnt meet up a few years back when you were in Ireland next time you over give me a call. Pendekar Sanders will be in Ireland end of May so if you or any of the guys are interested Stateside you more than welcome to come over.

    ... All the best..
