Fighting Arts of Indonesia: Combat Secrets of Silat & Kuntao DVD by Bob Orlando (Preowned)

Bob Orlando's landmark book Indonesian Fighting Fundamentals opened the eyes of the martial arts world and provided a rare glimpse into Indonesia's brutally effective fighting arts.

Now he brings the teachings of his book to life in this detailed instructional video. Unlike many martial arts instructors who teach confusing collections of techniques, Orlando focuses on the fundamental physical principles that make techniques work. In this original Paladin production, he teaches you how concepts such as adhesion, whiplash, gyroscopic rotation, seating, and shearing can be used to maximize the body's fighting potential and destructive power.

Then, he shows you how these principles can be applied with devastating effect against common street attacks by teaching you some of the most vicious fighting techniques of pentjak silat and Chinese kuntao. This dynamic video also features partner training drills that will enable you to develop the blinding speed, lightning reflexes, and spontaneous reactions that are the mark of a true fighter.
