Dear Eric B and other friends who replied on my "Panca Sila" comment,
First, many thanks for your comments. I train Pencak Silat since i was 5 years old with my family who are from Jawa. When i was 10 years old, i started to train also at the Panca Sila school in Maastricht which is a combined style school. Now, i am an instructor at the school and many things have changed. We started to work intensively with other brother schools, like the Naga, Satria Gaya from the Netherlands. Our goal is to keep our style well formed and more developed.
However, many criticisms have been made against our school since our name is rather controversial to be used as a style name. Yet, i believe a name is not anything. We strive in combining efficient and graceful techniques in our style and hope to improve ourselves every day. In sum, our main focus is on continuouslsy improving our style and keeping the asli always in mind. Please also check our new vids on the Pasar Malam Besar, The Hague 2008. Hope to hear from you soon.
Hormat dari hati saya,
Henry
