" Willem de Thouars With grace to our Indonesian martial mentors: U. Un Surya: GrandMaster, Ming Po
Home, with God, at rest. Praise YHVH for his time with us. A kind and gentle businessman with a contagious smile and sparkling eyes, "Bill Chang" could change in a mili-second into the fierce I shing Ie GrandMaster that was known and feared all over the Orient. Mr. Chang came to Denver to live and work sponsored by the de Thouars Brothers. He termed his martial art a "royal gung fu," not to be confused with the peasant arts of Indonesia. He explained his art as a musical scale, wherein a few specific motions are trained to flow into infinite possibilities controlled by an open and inviting mind already confident of the ultimate outcome of the encounter before it began. "Before you fight, you win!."
Our kuntao and silat Teacher
Willem de Thouars KunLun Pai & RatuDuri Silat
Pendekar, Serak® Silat Pendekar Paul is a model of technical refinement. His guidance and direction has been invaluable in the evolution of our martial understanding. His spiritual brotherhood has been an inestimable joy and an invaluable blessing. Pak Victor de Thouars: Serak® Silat Pak Victor has always directed much of his engineering prowess into the mechanics of Serak® and has been an enduring source of technical knowledge. From the early days of living with Pak Vic we were inspired and instilled with the "work ethic" that actually builds the skills that a mature practitioner can rely upon for self defense. We also had a Pantjar taped on the livingroom floor and Pak Vic began introducing us to the Serak® Platform and its uncanny effectiveness over 25 years ago. I continue that education today. Malabar KunTao Silat, American KunTao Silat and Tendjek Sermal are derived from the teachings of our beloved Dutch/Indonesian Elder Brothers. We have had the grace and honor of receiving training on a Cigar Dalem (Inner-Circle) level from some of the finest Dutch Indonesian teachers in America today. We acknowledge the great gifts of martial understanding they have given freely to us. May YHVH always bless, guide and protect them, In sincere appreciation, Sigung Steve Gartin Tendjek SerMal - American KunTao Silat - Malabar KunTao Silat
