The First Latvian in Silat Seni Gayong

Janis Mortuzans lives and work in Limerick. Married with three children and working as casual worker in a construction company. Janis joins Silat Seni Gayong in Jan 2010. Before joining Silat Seni Gayong he had tried many martial arts and some of the art he learned from video. At the age of 47, his enthusiastic in martial arts brings him to Silat Seni Gayong. Since then he has been a very persistent, consistent and committed students. After a year training he was tested to the next level of Silat Seni Gayong. The grading was conducted on Jan 30, 2011. I was supposed to conduct the test. Due to unexpected schedule I was unable to do so. I asked Cikgu Anuar to handle the belt grading. On the day of the grading I instructed Cikgu Anuar to air the grading live for me to view. And that suggestion makes Janis nervous. Earlier he was confident with the coming grading. Upon finding out that I am going to view live on the event suddenly he felt restless. This is the first time a grading was conducted and view through tele-communications technologies. The rapid development of technology should be used accordingly.

Consult Permission , The Custom Way

Seeking Permission, The Custom Way

Respectful The Custom Way

Although he is nervous but he manage to passed the test with flying colours. There are a few comments that I made after the test, through net-conferencing with him. He has to develop his skill in the art of “pentas” (the art of un-grappling) and to improve more on the section. Overall for his development in silat I was quite impressed. This may be due to his high spirit to dig the knowledge. He was congratulate by others members on his achievement. And the ceremony of presenting him the “ bengkong awan putih” ( white belt) was done on Feb 27, 2011. In the ceremony they were shown the custom and culture of Silat Seni Gayong . They were very excited on our culture. After the ceremony he was very honour and very proud and he make a statement that this is the first of its kind, touched of the ceremony and the first certificate received ever in his involvement in martial arts.

Historical Moments

As a Latvian who found a living at Ireland and a strong feeling of digging the knowledge of Silat Seni Gayong, I was hoping he will represent Silat Seni Gayong in his own country Latvia someday. We hope with all the knowledge we had and willing to share will be a bridge for him to pursue his dream of having a Silat Seni Gayong class. Janis Mortuzans are the first Latvian that learned Silat Seni Gayong and been awarded a white belt upon fulfilling all the conditions. The first Latvian to trained under me and under Cikgu Anuar personally. Congratulations Janis and hope your dream will come through in spreading Silat Seni Gayong in future.

Gayong Karambit 2011

The karambit originated in Java where, according to folklore, it was inspired by the claws of big cats. As with most weapons of the region, it was originally an agricultural implement designed to rake roots, gather threshing and plant rice. As it was weaponised, the blade became more curved to maximise cutting potential....

Karambit was used as a last resort when the fighter's other weapons were lost in battle. Nevertheless it was popular among women who would tie the weapon into their hair to be used in self-defense. Even today, silat masters regard it as a feminine weapon....

SSGI invite all martial art practitioners who Were in Ireland, France, UK, USA, and etc to participate in this seminar on January 2011.

Summer Time....

This Summer is very interesting. The sky was clear until 10.00pm. So we took the opportunity to do a training during the evening beginning 7.00pm on weekdays. Usually training finish at 9.30pm. Throughout this summer, we do twice classes a week.

Training run smoothly because we are not bound by time. So there are no problem if the training carried up to 3 hours. Before this, we are bound by time because we must rent the training places and have a limited time. Now we can review a lot of syllabus during the training. It was great.

This summer, most of our members have a job and part-time work. Therefore, we change the time training and hope all members can attend and training together.

This is the new training classes for this summer;

Sunday
6.00pm to 9.00pm
Castletroy Park, Limerick

Tuesday
7.00pm to 9.30pm
University of Limerick @ field near the East Gate or they called Arena Gate

Training at open area...

This time training was conducted in an open area at the park is across the road from Casteltroy College, Limerick. The weather is very good and help our training become smoothly and without any interruption. It is very different feel for practice in an open area compare in the studio. All movements easier and more confident to do.

This time our training is carried out for 3 hours. Because it is not necessary to pay the rent. He he he. So no need to rushing when do the training. A lot of lessons can be reviewed in detail and carefully.

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.
