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.
