Donn Draeger, in his world-renowned Asian Fighting Arts, wrote, "Perhaps there is no pencak-silat as curious as the harimau style performed in Sumatra." Named for the tiger that its movements so aptly portray, harimau has previously been taught to only a handful of adepts who have used this lithe, sinuous style with deadly effectiveness against armed and unarmed opponents alike. Now the secrets of harimau's low-line kicking, devastating takedowns and savagely effective groundfighting can be yours. In this video, Guru Richard Crabbe de Bordes, certified instructor under Indonesia's General Hanafi, teaches you the basic postures (kudas)footwork patterns (gkhas harimau. He then shows you how to combine these elements into a fighting art designed to take your opponent to the ground and keep him there. Guru de Bordes also teaches rarely seen defense tactics against multiple attackers and demonstrates the practical effectiveness of harimau in a real-life kidnapping scenario. Don't miss this rare opportunity to learn the secrets of one of the most dramatic and unusual martial arts ever developed.
The Harimau tiger style from Sumatra is one of the most interesting and exotic styles of Silat and is associated with the Menangebau tribe. Its movements derive from the tiger and the fighters often work low or from the ground. As a result the style requires very strong and flexible legs. This video will give you a good idea of some aspects of the style. Most of the tape is devoted to a number of the self-defense combinations derived from the cudas, or basic postures, which are demonstrated by several students, including an older guy who moves very well for his age. Then guru de Bordes demos the lankhas or footwork patterns and shows applications of those. Also interesting is guru de Bordes's demo of some short sword against the knife and multiple attacker scenarios.
There are probably several dozen of the cuda applications shown so you can get a pretty good idea of the techniques and their approach, and you'll notice how often they go to the ground, kick and grapple on the ground, etc., compared with the other more well-known styles of silat such as serah or serak, tjimande, pukulan, bukti-negara, cikalong, perisai-diri, and so on. De Bordes has worked as a bodyguard in Africa and for the president of Ghana, and has a reputation for knowing how to apply his silat in practical situations. I've read that he's currently back in England and so he may be teaching there.
