NEWSPAPER AS A WEAPON

Did you think that newspaper can be a very dangerous weapon? For those who have never learn about that, certainly they will not believe it. Same like me. In Knife Seminar at Dublin on 14 March, 2010, Master Black Panther has provided additional lessons which used the newspaper as a weapon. Unbelieveble, there is a really very dangerous weapon.

Newspaper is very easy to bring it. Nobody will not mention it is will be a type of weapon. Magazine is also can use as weapon like a newspaper. It can be applied in making BUAH that we have learned. So there are no problem for anyone to defend themselves by using this techniques. Besides, we can make a people interested in reading among the community.

LOGO of Silat Seni Gayong Ireland

The proposal paper for registering of Silat Seni Gayong Ireland under MSD has been denied because of two reasons. First, we cannot use the name Pertubuhan Silat Seni Gayong Malaysia in Ireland. Second, we must have our own symbol (loggo) for Silat Seni Gayong Ireland. If this two things can be done, there has no more osbtacles for registration.

Therefore, this new logo was produced to complete of demand from MSD. Those are the logo details...

History Gayong of Ireland

Silat Seni Gayong Ireland (SSGI) was formed by combining PSSGM Ireland, RCSI and Silat Gayong Club Limerick on April 2010. Now SSGI running in two cities in Ireland, there is Dublin at RCSI and Limerick.

Pertubuhan Silat Seni Gayong Malaysia (PSSGM) Ireland was created in year 2007 as sport society club in Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI). The idea is come from a group of Malay students studying at RCSI. PSSGM Ireland was started by 14 silat practitioners at the time. They started training and polishing the art of silat moves during their training sessions.

Among the members, they have no qualified instructors. PSSGM Ireland decided to invite Cikgu Shaiful Hakim Mohd Noor from Paris as instructor because he is the nearest they have. He is a student in Paris and also silat Gayong instructor at France.

PSSGM Ireland is participating in college events and performs special demonstration upon invitation from inside and outside college. Since our officially under RCSI, our club have proudly represented RCSI in various functions such as the Islamic Awareness Week in University College Dublin (UCD) and International Cultural Night at Trinity College Dublin (TCD). Our biggest achievement was being invited to perform at International Paris Open Pencak Silat (IPO) in Paris on March 2008.

When the new semester of 2008/2009, PSSGM Ireland has been frozen because misunderstanding of the RCSI officer for the training activities by using a real weapons. Budget proposal to run our club for this semester was declined from RCSI. We have a problem to cover up the expenses of Cikgu Shaiful Hakim to come and run the training as usual. Therefore, many members were losing their spirit and withdraw from PSSGM Ireland. Finally there are only few members remain. So PSSGM Ireland is not actively running anymore.

On October 2009, Cikgu Radzwan Razak aka Kumbang Hitam visited Ireland. Cikgu Anuar Ahmad currently working at Limerick. They met and discuss the future of Gayong in Ireland. As agreed they went to Dublin and track down PSSGM Ireland members where is still remain and they met Mohd Firdaus Che Ani, Presiden of PSSGM Ireland club in RCSI.

After discussion, Cikgu Radzwan and Cikgu Anuar agreed to give an assistance to activate Gayong in Ireland. An agreed to share the knowledge of Gayong to the remain members. At the same time Gayong Club Limerick was form on November 2009 and started the first training on 29 November 2009 concentrating mostly on Irish students.

In March 2010, Cikgu Radzwan has visited Ireland again for a seminar. We had the meeting and agreed to form Silat Seni Gayong Ireland (SSGI). The proposal was submitted to The Embassy of Malaysia in London. On that particular date, officially Gayong in Ireland was recognised as SILAT SENI GAYONG IRELAND.

At present SSGI was instructed and handle by Cikgu Anuar Ahmad.
