Maphilindo-Silat

There are hundreds of systems of Silat found in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Southern Philippines. These arts were designed for survival in real combat, not for sport or tournaments. Some Silat systems specialize in close-quarter combat from a standing position, while others specialize in ground fighting, taking the attacker to the ground and using strikes, pressure points and locks. Many Silat systems are designed for multiple opponents, moving quickly from one opponent to another, or simultaneously defending against more than one opponent. Princeton Academy of Martial Arts's Silat curriculum consists of Maphilindo Silat, Mande Muda Pencak Silat and Pentjak Silat Bukti Negara. Princeton Academy of Martial Arts is the only school in New Jersey certified to teach all of these arts.

Maphilindo Silat was founded by Guro Dan Inosanto, and is based on the various systems of Silat he has studied under Silat masters from Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia. Maphilindo combines these Silat styles, using empty hand strikes, off-balancing, kicks, punches, elbows, knees and nerve strikes. Guro Inosanto created this system to honor his Silat instructors. Rick Tucci is one of a select few in the
United States certified by Guro Inosanto to teach this effective art.
