Langka Dua

Langka Dua is a form that is very easy to learn but has many layers of information for the diligent student. The basic movements of the form can be learned in a short time but to fully understand all of the meaning of the motions takes effort, in part  due to the simplicity. 

The form begins with circular hand motions and then progresses into a spin and then a series of steps, turns and a final leap. 

The purpose is to introduce the student to circular evasive hand motions that are a contrast to the preceding form Djuru Satu. The Langka of the form are direct and compliment the circular hand motions that dissolve the opponents force. 

Dua provides the student with the soft motions the are a perfect compliment for the hard pukulan movements learned during the study of Djuru Satu. The form has an almost Bagua feel during application that allows one to avoid a direct collision with the opponents attack.

Djurus Satu

Djurus Satu is the first long form taught in our system. Prior to learning Djurus Satu students are exposed to foundational legwork and the first 8 Serak Djurus. This base allows students to pick up the movement of the first form with less difficulty.

Satu starts off with movements that will look familiar to any practitioner of Serak or Cimande. Supported punches, elbows and sangats make up the bulk of the movements. The second section has some cimande influence and teaches the student the biset and low movements.

The form is one of the cornerstones of the Kuntao Silat system and can be used on it's own as a complete method of self-defense. It can be performed with various energies and both armed and unarmed.

When I have time I will update this post with a video of the form.
