A Little Silat Demo

Here is a brief video of Guru Dan Inosanto, Sifu Beheler’s instructor, demonstrating a couple of empty hand drills during a silat seminar.  Keep in mind that the video depicts a drill, not a fight.  That means that one person feeds specific attacks, while the other person executes the techniques.  Drills are important important training tools that improve body mechanics, visual acuity, flow, and range.  They also lay the groundwork for muscle memory, which turns the techniques you know into techniques you can apply without thinking about it.

Enjoy the video!
