Silat Suffian Bela Diri – Traditional Bruneian Kuntau
www.silatsuffian.net Click the link above for more information on future seminars and past seminar articles and pictures. ———- THE GATHERING OF BRUNEIAN KUNTAU AND SILAT MASTERS Click on the link below to view pictures www.facebook.com ———- TRADITIONAL BRUNEIAN KUNTAU Kuntau is more popular with the older communtity in Brunei Darussalam. Presented here is one of many kuntau styles found in my country. Particularly this form of Kuntau is practiced by SSBD. One thing that is common in all Bruneian Kuntau is that they do not kick higher then the hip or the floating ribs (when the opponent is standing up right). ———– APPRECIATION I would like to express foremost my appreciation to Wortjek and family from Poland, Hans flying down from France and those who came from far away to attend the seminar. To all that assisted me in the demos, Christian Velici, Christian Alfano, Lillo Puccio, Grant Scruggs, Hans Menk, Sixt, Roland, Thomas and Josef Leipold. My apologies if I miss anyone. This seminar like my other events aims primarily to raise the curiosity and awareness among people from different nationalities about the martial heritage and culture of Brunei Darussalam in general. ———- DISCLAIMER The video featured may cause serious harm or death if used irresponsibly.

I can understand what you are saying…however so many martial arts crossover with similar techniques and theory. Especially in this massive info digital age.

What does all this anthropology have to do with anything here? If baseball was invented in america but played in japan, does it belong to americans? Is that what is being said.

i know the story is widely publicized but there are some top names endorsing it. as stated on this page illustrisimo,cabales and also pak vic de thoures. he states that one datu actually returned. but even without the datu story pinoys are still borrowing what is culturally theirs anyway. they are descendants of indo/malays right?
June 20th, 2010 at 11:10 pm
Simlao27. Its written in the history books in the southeast asian region. The 10 Datus strories are told by old FMA Instructors like Ilustrisimo, Cabales etc. Madjapahit and Sri Vijaya are old cultures around 2000 yrs ago. Between the 1400’s and 1700’s parts of the Philipines were under Brunei. You go to any muzium, you will see Bruneian artifacts discovered in the Philipines. What is your source? Mine is in the written history of the Southeast asian region.

@jamiirali1
The Ten Datu story has though published had been proven to be inaccurate & was fictional, current studies of artifacts found in the Phil establishes it as already a culture by itself & part of the madjapahit and shri visayan empires at that time. Coluld there be an inter mingling possibly but trying to establish whose style was original at this point is difficult if not impossible. Though there are similarities each region has made their styles uniquely their own.

im american & i love kuntao/kuntaw,silat & kali. from what i understand pinoys are comprised of different groups from the malay/indo peoples so if there is borrowing going on isnt it borrowing from what is already yours from a descendancy & geneological standpioint? if a descendant of the ten datus in the philipines incorporates silat from borneo into his system isnt it his anyway geneologically? im an outsider looking in to this matter could someone give me the clarity i may be lacking?

a classmate of mine in college, who happens to be a student of guro yasser and several unknown masters of silat in mindanao, said to me that kali believers have the guts to study silat, incorporate them in eskrima and calling it originally theirs… mr. originality is dead in the name of commercialism.
June 21st, 2010 at 3:25 am
but, cebuano eskrima never looked like this in terms of hand to hand combat…. only the fake kali.
