Silat is a South East Asian martial art, practiced around the world.  It is a comprehensive combat art covering upright and ground fighting, throws and locks, empty hand and weapons techniques.  Silat also encourages the personal development of the individual.

There are many different styles of Silat.  Harimau (Tiger) Silat, our style, is based on Harimau Minangkabau Silat from Sumatra.  This style emphasizes the flowing movements, quick strikes and low stances appropriate to the uneven terrain of the Minangkabau region and the tiger after which our art is named.
