Title: Silat Langka Baru
Post by: Kuntaoer on 15/01/2008 16:44

While going through some of my stuff that I have acquired over the years, I ran across a manuscript that I received from a pesilat who said he was teaching a system called Langka Baru silat.. I have lost contact with this pesilat, but the interest in the authenticity of this system is still there and my research has dried up..

The purpose of this request is to find some information on whether it is a viable system or was this another system that came out of the jungles of southeast asia? ???

If he says it is called Langka Baru it probably means that a) He is not Indonesian, as the Indonesian word would be Langkah, with a heavy h at the end, and b) it is a new silat as Langkah Baru means New Step(s).

Salam hangat.

Well, it's a malaysian system, for crying out loud. For certain he's not Indonesian.

Are we still in the "not talking about anything maling-sian" here?

I'm not sure Eric ??? I don't think anyone is 'stealing' silat.

Just a little joke regarding Bram's tendency to come across as a little pedantic sometimes :-*

Or at least that's how I interpreted Dasaman's humour ???

I think people get confused,
Langkah (with H) Baru is a silat school based in Gladstone, in central-nothern part Queensland- Australia.
It is definitely of Indonesian root. As far as I heard, the seniors (or the founder?) used to train Perisai Diri in Brisbane.

I agree with with kang Eric , the Indonesian should not adopt a holier-than-thou attitude toward Malaysia (or any other) with regard to Silat. All puak Melayu (and now everybody) have exactly the same right to claim as the inheritor of Silat.

Cheers

People do say I get cynical from time to time...

After carefully rereading my post, it seems that I did type faster than careful consideration.

I hereby apologize for any misunderstanding I've caused.

Greetings and Hafa Adai from Guam,

My name is Robert and I'm wondering if there are any Kali or Silat practitioners on Guam?  I've been very interested in learning but haven't found anyone on island who knows.  Thanks,

Rob
