Pukulan Pentjak Silat [VHS]

When attacked, pukulan pentjak silat practitioners close rapidly with their opponent, simultaneously deflecting and smothering the weapons of the upper body while destroying and immobilizing the lower body. Within fractions of a second, their attacker is helpless, and they are positioned to end the fight with a devastating arsenal of strikes, kicks and throws.

In this groundbreaking Paladin video, Guru Stevan Plinck, senior student of Dutch-Indonesian master Pendekar Paul de Thouars, gives you personalized instruction in the techniques of this explosive fighting art. First, Plinck teaches you the secrets of silat's upperbody movements, including how to cut the angle of an opponent's attack to instantly neutralize it. He then teaches you silat's devastating leg sweeps and foot drags to destroy an attacker's lower body. Finally, he shows you how to integrate upper- and lower-body movements into an unstoppable fighting combination.
