Unfortunately, few Floridians took this opportunity to meet and train with him. It's truly your loss. You could have walked away with a clearer picture of the physical culture of pencak silat of course, but also the humility of character that is the goal of pencak silat.
Yeah, of course you could have learned some martial arts, but realistically, in two days you're not going to get a whole lot. Rather, if you attend something like this, put your energy into learning what you can of course, but better to spend it developing in the area of brotherhood and friendship IMO. The physical stuff is just a means for making that happen.
That said, I don't want to belabor this too much but seriously, if you EVER get a chance to meet, train with, or otherwise spend time with Kang Cecep do so. Fabulous person. Very open to sharing the beauty and effectiveness of pencak silat Panglipur.
Thanks to Nick Portillo for bringing Kang Cecep to Florida.
Thanks to Eric Kruk for bring him to the U.S.

I'll second that Guru Stark. It was truly great seeing and experiencing a little of Silat Panglipur. You could see and feel Cecep's expertise and enthusiasm for sharing Silat Panglipur. Cecep is truly a sincere and down to earth psilat.
I wanted so bad to catch one of his seminars...but they were just too far from Oregon.
salaam that seminar sounds like it was well received. we need things like this to happen in the New England area let us know when it can happen in our area.
