Seeking books on Chow Gar, Pencak Silat.

Recommended Posts

There are some good in person Silat teachers around :).

 

There are good teachers for any of these arts, just a matter of how much you want to learn. It doesn't always get dropped in our laps.

I'm quite busy with lots of stuff right now - there's a local Silat guy who held a seminar a few months ago that I went to and enjoyed...great feel...but I can't take on formal lessons right now.

 

The Kuntao/Silat book that C T linked looks perfect for now.

If you're not set on Pencak Silat and wouldn't mind something a little more Chinese then Willem deThouars' Kuntao is quite good IMO.
