The Arts

Silat

Silat is the close-range answer when contact becomes chaotic. It adds angles, disruption, and control-based finishing to the Martial Flow system.

What it is

Silat is a Southeast Asian fighting art built around angles, off-balancing, and decisive finishing.

What it develops

Footwork intelligence, posture disruption, limb control, and close-range problem solving.

In practice

Entry timing, sweeps, structural attacks, and integrated responses when things get messy.

How we train it

Lineage & influence

My Silat training includes influence from the Inosanto lineage and is deeply shaped by AbduRahman Blanchette — emphasising Silat Asli principles and a Futuwwa-informed path.

How we train it

  • Angles & entries: how to arrive safely and with advantage.
  • Off-balancing: breaking posture to reduce incoming danger.
  • Decisive finishes: control, disruption, and exits with awareness.

How it fits the system

Everything is trained for transfer. We pull the highest-value pieces of each art, then test them under progressive pressure. You’ll see how this range connects to the full continuum: awareness → timing → contact → control.

Holistic outcomes

Skill builds confidence. Confidence builds boundaries. Boundaries build calm. Calm makes skill usable.

Next step

If this art is your entry point, we’ll map a training path that connects it to the rest of the system.
