Association of Pencak Silat America

[SundaWarrior]

Salam Everyone,

I have decided that America needs a driect link to Indonesia so I have made SahabatSilat an official forum of the Association of Pencak Silat America.  I am hoping this will open the eyes of the American pesilat.  I strongly support everything you guys do on this forum - keep up the good work.  I have also made a short video of my trip to Indonesia.  It is basically a showcase of some of the Pencak Silat styles I witnessed.  I also have some new photos up as well.  Please let me know what everyone thinks.

Hormat,

Bravo!   

Well done Nick.  Great footage, great music. 

Your idea of a direct link to Indonesia is timely and necessary. My students and I are in full support of your efforts and I am looking forward to exchanging more ideas with you when you come back from NY (hope all goes well with Kang Yana).

salaam pencak silat,

Salam Hormat Nicholas,

What can I say? THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Your website is just what the silat world needs. With a site like yours up there is less need for people like me to expose those like Sanders. Everyone with interest can find the paths to the truths themselves.

I hope you all the best.

Hormat,
Bram

Kang Nick, the videos are excellent. Thank you very much for sharing!

MORE! MORE! MORE!       

Mas Jeff, thank you for your attention for my old and insignificant blog  ... as you already know, I have been systemising my family art for some time now ... just click on the globe beneath my avatar, but please be aware that the blog is far from finished as I'm re-writing all of it to fit within the precepts of lelaku.

Salam brothers,

Salam Everyone,

Thank you all for your kind words and continued support.  It is your support
that keeps me going and it is your support that will help this association grow. 
I also have to thank all the affiliated teachers in the US and even the
teachers who are not yet affiliated but have given me support and have expressed interest in the idea of a national Silat family in the US.  Again, I hope you enjoy the website.  There is much more to come.  I will post a video soon of my family in Panglipur from my trip last year to Bandung/Garut.

Hormat,
Nicholas

Im sorry Bung Yana,

official PERSILAT World Championships can only be entered by National Teams !!

This kind of event is impossible for schools to participate on this level, every participant must be member of a school that is recognized by a National Federation
If there is one in the USA, what schools are member of this National Organisation ?

It's even for me not clear who is the official representative for the National Federation in the USA
Is there any, I'm just asking because I saw a lot of people clameing to be

[Kang Yana]

Hello Eric How are you doing?

After meeting the President PERSILAT in Jogya 2005 I have to start to promote PERSILAT in the USA and also I have to select the right students  for the world silat championship.
If you would like to know my position in PERSILAT you can ask Bapak Eddy Marzuki Nalapraya. He knows what I did in the USA,
under my instructions students of PD USA won the gold medal in the PD world championship. And we also won a lot of national championships in the USA.


Official PERSILAT World Championships can only be entered by National Teams.
All requirements of PERSILAT are ready on my desk I am trying to work hard to help and support PERSILAT as the body PENCAK SILAT ORGANIZATION. If I am lucky to get a sponsor we will go, if NO we still will try to publish PERSILAT to society of USA.

This kind of event is impossible for schools to participate in. At this level, every participant must be a member of a school that is recognized by a National Federation

In the USA they don’t have a National Federation

If there is one in the USA, what schools are members of this National Organization?

PD USA is already a member of PERSILAT.

Even for me it is not clear who is the official representative for the National Federation in the USA.
Is there is one, I'm just asking because I saw a lot of people claiming it to be.

The President Bapak Eddy Marzuki Nalapraya.
He has point any styles in the United States (example PD, MP,KPS, Mande Muda and other, all are representing PERSILAT USA).
