Get the Silf mug.
An ancient traditional martial art whose country of origin is regularly debated. Malaysia & Indonesia are the countries that the styles of Silat can be traced back to.
The art like any other traditional art encompasses locks, strikes, weapon work & other cultural aspects such as dances, meditation etc.
Has recently seen a big surge of interest in the western world due to popular martial arts shows showing it & films using techniques or styles from Silat (eg Merintau, Taken).
The art has hundreds of styles each adapted to the terrains & ways of the local areas, Gurus are the ''master''-name for those well versed in the art.
MMA is looking at how to encorporate some the grappling aspects to its competitions, however due to the lethal aspects of Silat often including blades &/or gouging, biting, breaking & shattering, it has to be revised and watered down so as to be legal under MMA rules.
The dutch have a shitty sports version that barely resembles the traditional art & looks more like Taekwondo.

Silat is an art that has only come onto the international stage in the past decade & is still relatively unknown

Get the Silat mug.1. A trend of the modern era 2007+ that refers to the transitional stage that year 9 students go through as they move from the 'being part of the group' stage to 'there is no one else in the "youniverse" stage.
2. A term to describe 15 year olds who, for some strange reason, cannot hear another persons voice.

I left the class room with half my students, the selfabsorbs however, didn't realize we had left for over half an hour.
