Fighting Footwork of Kuntao and Silat Vol. 1 (DVD) $49.95

Fighting Footwork of Kuntao and Silat: A Complete Guide to the Tactical Legwork of Kuntao, Silat and Kuntao-Silat, Vol. 1 with Bob Orlando

One of the most distinctive aspects of the Indonesian martial arts is their amazingly destructive legwork. While a kuntao or silat practitioner’s hands are busy parrying, trapping and striking, his legs are simultaneously applying their own tactics to trap, unbalance and destroy an opponent’s lower body. The result is a coordinated, total-demolition approach to personal combat.

Veteran kuntao-silat practitioner Bob Orlando spent years analyzing Indonesian legwork and organizing it into a true martial science. Now he makes this information available to you in this unprecedented four-volume video course. In this first volume, Orlando explains the critical elements of silat, kuntao and hybrid kuntao-silat legwork and teaches you the mechanics of trapping and unbalancing an opponent with your legs. He then teaches you the first two langkahs (lower-body training drills) of his system and shows you how to apply them with all three fighting styles. In the process, he demonstrates dozens of supplemental drills and combat applications, making this the most comprehensive and detailed instructional video ever produced on this specialized aspect of the Indonesian arts.

Take your knowledge of kuntao and silat’s brutally destructive legwork to the next level with Volume 2 of Bob Orlando’s definitive fighting footwork series.

In this volume, Orlando teaches you the mechanics of the third and fourth langkahs (lower-body training drills) of his system and shows you the subtleties of their silat, kuntao and kuntao-silat variations. In the process, he reveals the secrets of the true fighting function of silat’s distinctive cross-legged or “twist” stance and explains how this seemingly vulnerable platform can be used as a powerful combative tool. Once you’ve mastered the drills, Orlando shows you how to apply your newfound skills combatively, coordinating your upper-body technique with the powerful traps, grinds, knee-wrenches and off-balancing maneuvers that represent the heart of the langkahs. Building upon the foundation established in Volume 1, this video also introduces additional “early-game” applications of langkahs 1 and 2 and teaches you the “late-game” fighting strategies of langkahs 3 and 4.

Hapkido Cane DVD $59.95

Hapkido Cane: Big Stick Fighting from the Dojo to the Street with Alain Burrese

An often misunderstood but potentially deadly weapon, the cane is one of the few self-defense tools you can take virtually anywhere no matter what level of security you’re facing. In this hard-hitting video production from Paladin Press, veteran fighter Alain Burrese shows you how to maximize the combative use of the cane, turning it from just a leg support to an invaluable part of your arsenal. Stripping away the flashy martial arts moves to leave behind the bare essentials of big stick fighting, Burrese teaches you the rapid, vicious strikes that take advantage of the cane’s size and heft, and then transitions seamlessly into brutal combinations of striking and blocking that will have your opponent wishing he’d never mistaken you for an easy mark. From there, he shows hooking and grabbing techniques that enable you to move into joint locks, chokes and stick submissions relying on street-proven principles of movement, not fancy dojo dancing. Whether you carry a cane out of necessity or choice, this video will give you information on big stick fighting you can use to keep yourself safe on the street. For information purposes only. Color, approx. 150 min. total.  Read More
