I just wanted to say that those of us who train Silat in America had such high hopes for this program, and have been severely disappointed in the end. <BR/><BR/>I happen to have seen some of the styles represented on the show, and they showed NOTHING of their true nature and ability. I woulod have loved to see some real knife play, but it would have been over too quick and the Americans would have had to be rushed to the hospital. Furthermore, the two Americans came across as arrogant and conceited, and personally speaking, the whole episode made me cringe for both being a Silat player and being an American. <BR/><BR/>Pencak Silat has so much potential in America, but this program isn't helping it. However, there are legitimate Guru and exposure to Malay-Indo culture that are opening the path.<BR/><BR/>Salaam,<BR/><BR/>Bobbe EdmondsBobbe Edmondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14346040017021718774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047080913606410024.post-81221174560711307072007-12-18T10:25:00.000+08:002007-12-18T10:25:00.000+08:00Askum,anda masih ingat lagi Bill Duff, host Human ...Askum,<BR/>anda masih ingat lagi Bill Duff, host Human Weapon yang berbadan besar.

Well, let's just say that if guru Azlan Ghanie is involved, PESAKA might not have much say anyway.<BR/><BR/>The translator thing is my fault. I was slated to be the interpreter. Which is why I feel like **** for missing it (or may it's a good thing I missed it. If it turned out bad anyway, I'd be scarred for life).<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about the pretender bit. Quite a few of those walked through the SB doors when I was there. They caught us off guard a couple of times, but we learnt our lesson soon after.<BR/><BR/>The best part is, now SB looks for opportunities to publicize their 'humility', so I guess it backfires somewhat on them.<BR/><BR/>This topic is getting old really fast. Let's move on. Better yet, give us an anecdote I can post on this blog. Hehehehe...<BR/><BR/>Salam persilatan,Mohd Nadzrin Wahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01688305454146125158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047080913606410024.post-20209137770683181992007-12-01T20:00:00.000+08:002007-12-01T20:00:00.000+08:00IMO we dont have to totaly frown coz actually the ...IMO we dont have to totaly frown coz actually the series is known for its inaccuracies. I'd watched some other episodes & also read many complaints e.g jason pulled a twister in a fight, bill draws with pedro rizzo, the kneebar is not correct, the RNC is plain wrong etc. Even if we do youtube search on it, we can have some vids posted as "Human weapon screws up human anatomy". The idea of the tv prog is actually good but the audience these days r wiser, as in they know the "fancy bombastic pretty moves" r for movies & pro wrestling is half-real.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's something that we can learn from and prepare in case similar thing is to happen in the future. For example:<BR/>1) Where's PESAKA at that time? They don't even mention about it.<BR/>2) Yea, I know some participants can speak better english, but to be on the safer side, i think an 'official translator' should be there /*cough aljazeera...cough...interview...cough.. information*/<BR/>3) After practicing with the matsallehs for quite some time, exchanging ideas through forum (not MCM), reading their articles, actually they're aware of the terms 'berserker', 'pretender', 'we take it easy' & such among emselves--> pretend or ask the partner/ opponent to go easy, giving excuses, this & that, then suddenly pump up their adrenalin out of nowhere. I saw a snippet on SB cover: "...minta jgn cederakn host" & prolly we fell for it. (The test was more like 'technique review' & the price for going easy on em is they din cut the scene when the bengkung hijau dude eats an elbow & another guy took a punch with his chest and slowly kicked bill's shoulder with hesitation)<BR/><BR/>mehh...turning into a blog entry again. d'oh =PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047080913606410024.post-6002083697727945642007-12-01T16:04:00.000+08:002007-12-01T16:04:00.000+08:00Salam hormat,Aside from the obviously choreographe...Salam hormat,<BR/><BR/>Aside from the obviously choreographed everything, the episode was a general letdown. In fact, guru Yazid and guru Azlan Ghanie have both expressed disappointment, not only with the execution of the show, but the characters of both hosts, which they claim caused quite a bit of friction during the shoots.<BR/><BR/>Wallahua'lam.<BR/><BR/>Salam persilatan,Mohd Nadzrin Wahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01688305454146125158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047080913606410024.post-23284330846066014912007-12-01T11:02:00.000+08:002007-12-01T11:02:00.000+08:00can haimau possibly be haRimau??
