CCS Silat Sera multiple attacker training. Drill every available angle for each punch until you can cover 180°. Always snap back to center. Train to look ahead when hit to the sides to make it less telegraphed. Always drill any new strikes this way to build a multiple attacker mindset and flow. Feel out which directions are more difficult. THEN add footwork into the drill after training from squared up. For more information visit LEARNSILAT.NET
CCS Silat Knife Attack solo training from today. Train to clear the path, strike, jam forearms into the face and guard, adjust their vision and overall disrupt their ability to deal with what is happening. For more information visit LEARNSILAT.NET
When it comes to getting someone to the ground understanding the concepts and mechanics will get you a lot farther than cookie cutter techniques. You will always run into something that will interfere with what you’re trying to do. Understanding mechanics lets you improvise and adapt. Put the cookie cutter down and train to have real skill built on a strong foundation and able to adapt at any time.

Here are some training tips for our 5 ranges of combat in CCS Silat.
1. Kicking: Practice moving from Long range to the closer ranges by closing the gap with a kick.
2. Striking: Practice taking an opponent from striking range back out to longer range and
kicking range as well as closing to trapping and grappling ranges.
3. Trapping: Practice coming in striking to damage the opponent’s limbs and then trapping them.
4. Grappling: Practice damaging the opponent’s limbs and then moving into locks and wrapping for takedowns and throws.
5. Ground Fighting: Practice taking opponents down to the ground, recovering from being
taken down, hitting from your back and hitting a grounded opponent from a standing position and crouched with fists and kicks.

Silat Kembangan or free flow clip from our Striking 101 download. Here I am combining movement from the video but in training we combine all techniques and striking. Kembangan is used to intentionally build the movement in a spontaneous, adaptive flow that will allow you to have a deeper understanding of how different movements can be put together naturally. Find your own flow for your own body type. Make it your own. For more information on our striking download or CCS Silat visit LEARNSILAT.NET
Sixty second lesson on our waterfall punch. This is such a cool (and devastating) punch and most people have never even heard of it.
