Hi Odim

I don’t know about the video clip, maybe other member of Sahabat Silat have it.

I don’t think Silat Sabeni related to Wing Chun. I’ve seen both arts practiced and performed. Yes, both focused on close quarter fighting, but the way of attacks, the stances, and even the type of the fist is different. Unlike WingChun which used the vertical fist (hit with the last three knuckles), Silat Sabeni use the “Nyontok”-type of fist. Nyontok is a betawi/jakarta expression. I don’t know what this fist is called in English, but they fold the four fingers, open palm, and hit horizontally extremely fast.

I think silat Cikalong looks more similar to WingChun. However, it may be looked the same, but still it’s different. Both Cikalong and Wing Chun put emphasis on sensitivity and feelings. When we talk about sensitivity/feeling, not only between two different system, even between practitioners of the same art, it will be different.

Odim, welcome to the forum, have you posted in the meet and greet section?

According to what Sahabats have been saying in the Indonesian section, Sabeni doesn't use feet or legs except to slide - the feet tend not to come off the ground.

Youtube doesn't give a good taste of silat, in fact it can be very misleading, just because most silat practitioners are not familiar with video cameras and uploading vids on the web. Especially here in Indonesia alot of the internet is still very slooooooow.

If you are interested in Sabeni, just get a cheap ticket and fly to Jakarta, in less than a week the Sahabat will set you up with a meeting with a grandson of Mr Sabeni himself.

Warm regards,
Bram.

hi Ranggalana ,
thanking you for your invitation and help..i love to visit indonesia and it's one of my dreams..Unfortunately my job shedule wont allow me to do it in the near future.Hopefully I will make it one day.
thanks

Hehehe, you need a job that brings you here! Or easier, shove your job aside for a while ... most Western countries get a month's visa on arrival here and in a month you could get a very good taste of Sabeni and Betawi silat. It is all there in Jakarta, and Sahabat silat has made good networks around the silat world there. If you are in the West now, you would probably save money by living a month in Jakarta ... so don't worry about the job, there is a reccesion coming and many people are going to become redundant anyway!

Warm regards,
Bram

  I agree with Mas Bram

btw, I'm not a student of Silat Sabeni. Some member of this forum are students of Bang Izul the grandson of Babe Ali Sabeni.

Good Luck

Hi,

Mas Bram and Mas Ery, I just wonder if we can create mirror of this post in
Bahasa Indonesia section so any Sabeni student who happens to own such
clip could upload it to youtube?

Of course, considering the obstacles you mentioned...

Salam kenal semuanya...

Saya anggota baru di forum ini...

Saya sempat baca artikel mengenai pertandingan antara Babe Sabeni dengan petarung dr beladiri lain yang sempat didokumentasikan dalam bentuk film

Saya penasaran jika memang film dokumenter ini masih ada tentunya sangat penting untuk kita jaga jangan sampai hilang atau rusak.

Kalau ada teman yang mau mencari saya ingin sekali ikutan ...

Salam

Dear All,

Disini saya sebagai HUMAS dari Sabeni Tenabang (Www.sabenitenabang.com)

ingin nimbrung sedikit, untuk dokumentasi video dan aplikasi bisa kunjungi website kami di www.sabenitenabang.com atau bergabung dengan group kami di facebook.

Untuk Filem dokumenter tentang Kong SAbeni waktu itu judulnya adalah "Berkas Tempo doeloe"

Kata Sabet Kompeni diutarakan oleh sutradara sebagai kepanjangan dari kata SAbeni, sebelumnya blm pernah ada istilah Sabet Kompeni untuk SAbeni.

Pemeren Sabeni dalam film tersebut adalah Kong Ali SAbeni
