The Anak Serak program was developed to give a practitioner Pentjak Silat’s core concepts, theories, principles, training methods, and applications. It looks at what are the fundamentals of Pentjak Silat and presents that to the practitioner. This allows each practitioner to integrate their own body awareness and movement to the circumstances presented without employing a specific style of movement. We are not a new system or style, but rather a basic platform from which many of the Silat styles operate.
Initial lessons are available on Film Festival Flix at the very affordable price of $9.99/month. One can preview lessons 1-4 or sign up at the Anak Serak FFF site.
