If you're serious about your martial arts study

Fighting Footwork of Kuntao
and Silat
A Complete Guide to the Tactical
Legwork of Kuntao, Silat, and Kuntao-Silat, Volume 1
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 aspect of the Indonesian arts.
Approx. 90 min. Tape $54.95, DVD $49.95

"Reflex Action:Training Drills To Fighting
Skills" is now available
In this two-tape video production, long-time kuntao-silat
and Chinese kenpo practitioner
Bob Orlando teaches how to use partner and solo training drills to develop real
fighting
skills. In his methodical, no-nonsense style, Orlando gives you nothing
but "the good
stuff"--simple, practical flow drills that are specifically designed to program
true
combative skills into your muscle memory. Orlando begins with simple "atomic"
partner
drills that teach critical defensive skills and the basics of combat movement.
He then
builds on this foundation, combining the elements into more complex and dynamic
"molecular" drills. Focusing only on what works, these drills efficiently
combine upper-art
(hands, elbows and forearms) and lower-art (knees and feet) techniques into
a total skill
set that will develop your fighting abilities and reflexes faster than any other
training
method available. Approx. 160 minutes total.
Available in VHS and PAL format

Martial Arts America: A Western Approach To Eastern Arts is not a typical how-to
guide, but a broad survey of martial arts traditions and their evolution to
modern Western practice. Challenging the purpose and effectiveness of many martial
arts activities and training methods used in the United States today, the book
sets a deep inquiring tone. Topics covered include the evolutionary cycle of
combat arts, preserving ancient arts, philosophy and practice, training forms
(kata), art versus sport, and women in the martial arts.
The fighting arts of Indonesia are an eclectic mixture of pentjak silat and
Chinese kuntao that arose out of necessity throughout a history of violent cultural
clashes and oppressive foreign occupation. They are brutal, unrelenting, and
designed not only to take the enemy out but to punish him every step of the
way. In this book, Bob Orlando, a long-time student of Dutch-Indonesian master
Willem de Thouars and an accomplished instructor in this own right, gets to
the heart of what makes these arts so formidable. Orlando does not simply give
the reader techniques. Instead, he places the movements in context, providing
a deeper understanding of their self-defense applications by exploring the underlying
principles that make them work.
Discover the secrets of the power, speed, and devastating effectiveness of
the Indonesian fighting arts with this hard-hitting video. This excellent companion
to the book Indonesian Fighting Fundamentals is nearly two hours long. It teaches
you the physical principles of pentjak silat and Chinese kuntao and shows you
how to use them as the basis for dynamic and brutally effective fighting techniques.
