Overview

In this book, Bob Orlando, a long-time student of Dutch-Indonesian Master Willem de Thouars, gets to the heart of what makes Indonesian fighting arts (a mix od pentjak silat and Chinese kuntao) so formidable. Orlando does not simply give the reader techniques. Instead, he places the movements in context, providing a deeper understanding of their self-defence applications by exploring the underlying principles that make them work. For the serious, self-defence-driven martial artist, this book lends an unprecedented clarity to the often elusive -- but always brutal -- arts of the archipelago.
