Fall Semester At COD '09

Classes start the end of August at COD. Classes will be held 8-10 am Saturdays. There are two classes- Malay Silat I and Malay Silat II. If you have never signed up before, sign up for Silat I and we'll move you around depending on Skill level. If Silat II fills up, just sign up for Silat I, we know where you belong and will move you around as needed. 

Hopefully the Silat Club will be up and running by the time fall semester starts. We'll fill you in more as information from COD becomes available. 

Sign up for classes at:

Classes are Malay Silat I and II taught by Shiekh Shamsuddin (Cikgu Sam)

In Malaysia

Hi all, 

We are in Malaysia!! Woo-hoo! Long plane flight :) They started filming yesterday even though it was just supposed to be a meet and greet. They filmed for 7 hours. I'll never be a movie star. How BORING to watch filming. It's like watching paint dry. But it was great to see all the students and the Cikgu here again. I'm happy to get to see them for a few weeks. I'll post pictures soon. I need to take some more and I'll post them here or facebook. 

Cheers!

:) See you next Saturday!

Last Class 12/13

The last class for the semester is next Saturday December 13th. Classes will resume in January for the Spring '09 Semester. Don't forget to sign up at COD for next semester's class. The details for COD sign up are in a different post. 

Malaysia Trip

As most of you know, three of us are going to Malaysia for a couple weeks at the end of December. I'll post updates and pics on here to keep you up to date on how everything is going while we are there. If the is video, I'll post it too but I may have red-tape to deal with if I try and do that. I'll try and be very annoying and take tons of pictures so you can see all the training and all the people we'll meet. You can sign up to "follow" this blog and I think it will email you immediately when something new is posted. 

YouTube

Some people had asked me about Gayong videos. There are some on YouTube and goole Video. 

I like google video, you can narrow the search easily. A short cut for finding Gayong Videos is to type in "Gayong" in the search field. If you just type in "Silat" you'll get a ton of different Silat videos, not just Gayong. 

Another tip for searching is typing in "PUSAKA" or "PSSGM" in the search field. These are two Gayong groups in Malaysia. Some videos are abbreviated and hard to find. Typing those group names can get you some good video hits.
