From Tony Felix:
SATRIA FIGHTING ARTS is the umbrella name for the Arts we now practice. But a major part of this Art is still the Wali Songo Family System of Pencak Silat. Because we also train PENJANG GULAT-Indonesian Wrestling and Ullar-The Snake System which are technically speaking not Pencak Silat and we also train in Badui Arts which have many similarities to Ancient Thai Arts we needed a name that would honour all of these arts. The underlying philosophy of continuity and approach to combat is still based on the principles emphasized in the Wali Songo system.
Traditional Silat is a weapon based Art so there is an awareness of Bladed weapons within all the techniques taught and trained. Although the Indonesian and Filipino arts are very close in geographcal location of their homelands and with many overlapping practices, one of the primary differences in approach is the use of langkah and another is emphasis on using the principles of Pukulan-The Art of continuous circular striking- in using the Pisau (short-bladed knife).
Be very well Guru Marc.
