Pencak Silat Sera/Serak 1

To the person who's comments I'm deleting:

Sorry, but as I said before: I don't have anything AGAINST the Dutch, per se, but I WILL DEFEND MY OWN. That includes against the DeThouars and their ilk, or anyone who steps up. Unless you have been there and trained, don't come to me crying because your "Pendekar" says he's the only one with knowledge.

Those days are LONG over.

No one said it was Dutch; heck, the Serak you know isn't Dutch -- or didn't your teacher tell you?

A practitioner of Bapak Sera(k)'s abilities carves a very wide swathe. There are several lineages, all recognizably Sera(k), all distinct from one another. If you're training in one out of the de Vries/de Thouars line, good for you. It's a lineage famous for martial prowess, nasty politics and lying about other practitioners. You seem to be coming along fine.

It's NOT Serak. This is INDONESIAN, it's where Serak comes from. It's SERA.

I know this because I learned it in Indonesia. That's where Pencak Silat comes from. It's a country in Southeast Asia. You know, a place where you have never been.

This surely ain't Dutch. Doesn't even look like the Sarak I know. The movements and counterattacks are to indirect, according to the Serak I train, under supervision of Guru Dolf de Vries from Leiden Holland. Don't even know if this is Serak!

There is much rumored about the Serak style, and few people who are as straightforward as you. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

It is too bad that some jerk has made it hard for people to see these videos from a very proficient practioner- Bobbe. I'd like to see them post their own.

good to see these back up . please post more silat/fma vids. =)

Welcome back!
