Malaysian silat is too larg...Salam hormat Mr Mous,<br /><br />Malaysian silat is too large a category to cleanly state yes or no.<br /><br />Let me break down according to the arts I studied:<br /><br />1. Silat Cekak Hanafi - Yes to sparring. The opponent is freestyle while you are only allowed the Cekak paradigm. Depending on who the instructor and your partner is, I have had nice sparring sessions and I have also had moderately brutal ones. Things I've collected over the years: Two dislocated shoulders, one dislocated big toe, breathing difficulties due to a direct solar plexus shot, iffy jaw due to an invisible uppercut and back of the head meeting rock on ground due to fantastic takedown. There is no controlled environment in these sparring sessions, nor is there a form. The instructors just say, have a go at it. Very little science involved.<br /><br />Silat Melayu Keris Lok 9 - Yes to moderated sparring. One step, very friendly sparrings that culminate in full body locks or mock strikes and kicks. No injuries collected here.<br /><br />Silat Kuntau Tekpi - No sparring experienced. Didn't spend much time here. Only a tore ACL during training (not even sparring).<br /><br />Silat Sendeng - Yes to sparring. Sometimes very brutal. Both padded and non-padded. Collected many bruises and a split lip from a cherised late friend.<br /><br />Silat Kalimah - Yes to moderated sparring. Similar to Lok 9 methods.<br /><br />Silat Bongsu - So far so good. Have missed 99 out of 100 classes anyway.<br /><br />Now for the ones I have witnessed but haven't studied myself:<br /><br />Silat Garak - Yes, yes, yes. As recently as 2000, a student hospitalised in ICU for a rupture spleen, and one died of complications. Very few students now.<br /><br />Silat Seni Gayong - Yes, yes, yes. Free for all.<br /><br />Silat Lincah - Yes, yes. yes. Free for all.<br /><br />Pencak Silat Harimau Berantai - Yes, with eye shields and wooden blades. No body armour.<br /><br />And many more.<br /><br />So overall, yes there do exist styles that do it, but mostly there is no pattern to it to simulate a real engagement. So, no I don't know if this is the answer you were looking for. Sorry if it isn't.<br /><br />Salam persilatan,Mohd Nadzrin Wahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01688305454146125158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11491737.post-68179220621744579952010-12-01T19:10:37.564-08:002010-12-01T19:10:37.564-08:00Can someone tell me is there sparring in Malaysian...Can someone tell me is there sparring in Malaysian silat and what is it like?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11491737.post-19644970648322453652010-12-01T02:52:09.079-08:002010-12-01T02:52:09.079-08:00Salam hormat,
