  All opinions and constructive criticisms on the site, its content and intent are welcome. AND If there's some information you have on the any of the Filipino Martial Arts that you've been dying to publish on the web if only you had somewhere to put it, drop me a line we have room ;-)

Indonesian Styes

• Kuntao Silat Page posted by Guru Randall Goodwin (gurug@atlas.odyssee.net). He writes:

  About myself: I am a Senior student (Guru) under Tao Sifu Willem de Thouars. I have also studied Serak Silat under his brothers Pendekar Paul de Thouars and Victor de Thouars. I am a Yoga instructor under the authority of the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta centers (the late Swami Vishnudevananda).

  About Kuntao Silat: Kuntao Silat is Indonesian before it is Phillipino, I notice your page has it under the Philipino arts. That is true, but with qualifications. Kuntao is the Chinese Kung Fu in Indonesia, while Silat refers collectively to the Indonesian cultural martial arts. The Kuntao that I do is from China to Indonesia, the Silat is native Indonesian. I practice several of these systems under the instruction of my teachers, whom I honor. I also have taught for 20 years. Kuntao Silat in the Phillipines refers to what would be called Silat in Indonesia, at least my friend Bob Torres has stated this about his Philippino Kuntao Silat. Bob also studies Kuntao Silat currently under my Teacher Willem de Thouars.

  Over time (my page is new) I would like to present a multicultural view of the history and development of my art and other arts which my friends practice. As well, I teach seminars and so do many of my friends and teachers, so if I am contacted I can help to provide qualified individuals to teach seminars in many different arts.
