Anyone doing FMA

What do you think about Silat and the empty hand system from Filipines. I been doing Doce Pares for 5 years and find it useful but I never used it a real situation.
I think I heard Bob Spour say he will make a dvd about Silat in the clinch dvd.

I first started in Escrima 14 years ago. I still wave a stick about from time to time, but I'm far from expert.

It did have a good effect on my stance though. I've got a that even diagonal stance you see Kali practitioners use and the live hand to the chest is a ground in reaction.

Isn't Silat Indonesian rather than philippine? Obviously there are many similarities but some differences too.
Either way, beautiful martial arts to watch.

ronan, in reply to your post. I currently train in Paul vunaks P.F.S, and i have to say a lot of the techniques come from the FMA.
I have trained with Danny Gubba and one of his highest graded instructors and i have to say the FMA have totally changed my body mechanics and the way i would aproach a fight.
The weapon side and open hand are very similar except you use your hand as the weapon.
Who is your Doce Pares instructor?

Yes Silat is Indonesia and Malaysia but I think its similar to the Fma empty hand.
Danny"Danielo Huertas" is my isntructor he been many times to the Doce pares HQ in Cebu and training regulary with many masters in the Philipines.
I would like to try the PFS seen some of his dvds. Are you doing the wekaf stickfighting.
