NEXT MINI-COURSE:
Intro to Indonesian Pencak Silat:
Harimau / "Tiger System"
Jan. 21 - Mar. 11, 2010
The Harimau system of pencak silat is typified by
low crouching and seated postures, attacks against the legs and
lower body, and the use of arms and legs to trip, entangle, and
take-down the opponent. Harimau typically fights from a seated or
crouched position, choosing to apply the "heavier they are,
the harder they fall" approach to overcoming the enemy.
Counters are swift and relentless with devastating
follow-ups to keep the attacker down. This system offers the Indonesian
solution to the ground fight - fighting from the ground, bringing
your opponent down, and finishing with strikes and destructive submissions.
There are many different styles of Harimau (and 100s
of systems of pencak silat). The material taught in this mini-course
will derive from the blended system of Mande Muda which includes
Harimau.
This seminar covers the core elements of Harimau
including basic postures and movements, kicks and locks, takedowns
and finishes. There will be some training of weapons use such as
sarong and kerambit.
