One of the most distinctive aspects of the Indonesian martial arts is their amazingly destructive legwork. While a kuntao or silat practitioner’s hands are busy parrying, trapping and striking, his legs are simultaneously applying their own tactics to trap, unbalance and destroy an opponent’s lower body. The result is a coordinated, total-demolition approach to personal combat. Veteran kuntao-silat practitioner Bob Orlando spent years analyzing Indonesian legwork and organizing it into a true martial science. Now he makes this information available to you in this unprecedented four-volume video course. In this first volume, Orlando explains the critical elements of silat, kuntao and hybrid kuntao-silat legwork and teaches you the mechanics of trapping and unbalancing an opponent with your legs. He then teaches you the first two langkahs (lower-body training drills) of his system and shows you how to apply them with all three fighting styles. In the process, he demonstrates dozens of supplemental drills and combat applications, making this the most comprehensive and detailed instructional video ever produced on this specialized aspect of the Indonesian arts.

What is Martial arts ?

Martial arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practiced for a number of reasons such as self-defense; military and law enforcement applications; competition; physical, mental, and spiritual development; entertainment; and the preservation of a nation’s intangible cultural heritage.

Although the term martial art has become associated with the fighting arts of East Asia, it originally referred to the combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s. The term is derived from Latin and means “arts of Mars”, the Roman god of war. Some authors have argued that fighting arts or fighting systems would be more appropriate on the basis that many martial arts were never “martial” in the sense of being used or created by professional warriors.
