A Must Have Guide To Pencak Silat Methods
9 April 2007
Format:Paperback
The author gives a great introduction to the art of Pencak Silat Pertempuran. Well written and reader friendly, this first volume will give the reader a better understanding of what Pencak Silat is about. This first volume covers everything from Silat strikes, to evasions, to entries all of which are fully illustrated. I anxiously await the second volume.

Want to learn some Pencak Silat?
8 April 2007
Format:Paperback
Just wanted to post a quick review on this book. Pencak Silat Pertempuran Vol 1 is an awesome supplement for those training in PSP (Combat Silat), not to mention a great book on Silat. In general the book IMHO seems to be targeted to the PSP practioner, but by all means it also serves as a great study of Pencak Silat in general.
The book is well written, well thought out and contains a plethora of pictures demonstratng the movements the author is describing. A real must have for anyone interested in Pencak Silat.
I can not wait to own/read/study Volume 2.
Great job!

Ive studied Silat for years, and have several books on the subject. I have not yet found anything remotely close to this in terms of content, detail or value.
***If you're at all interested in Pencak Silat this book is a must have.***
It is an invaluable reference guide for practitioners, and a wonderful introductory read for curious seekers...
