"Wherever you're standing, you're standing in my spot." I love it!

Janich is a great instructor! His techniques are very fast, Effective and Easy to learn. His knife techniques are also real good. I plan on buying his DVD'S in the near future. Thanks for the video.

thank you Michael, seriously your one of the best if not the best instructor ive seen on you tube. i love that you focus on what works. thanks for giving me so much to practice at the dojo.

Love the lesson, like how you just focus on things that really work and don't complicate things, got nothing against traditional arts but being realistic is all that works, thanks keep making these videos. Taiji Rich

I really like the overall approach. Especially about being open minded and not getting hung up on trivial points. Well done,

I like your concept of the close side kick directed at the legs. Using your legs to stick, trap, throw and strike the opponent's legs can be very effective. I appreciate your very practical and realistic approach.

Great information. Janich knows his stuff. I also liked the fact that he "..doesn't care" what people think about his version of the side kick. if it works who cares what it's called? I'm just grateful that there are instructors like him out there who are able to teach practical self defense. Good one Mike keep them coming.

For the sake of trolls you have to not care and just present theories as its understood by the presenter.

Well said. Simply put, silat means fighting. As we say in MBC (Martial Blade Concepts and it's related disciplines), "you don't have to fight like me, just fight well". The world offers a wealth of fighting styles, and the fighting systems of the Indonesian archipelagos have much to offer the western student of combat arts, without a commitment, and adherence to the perfect study of an indigenous style of martial arts. Train hard, stay safe, and live free.

Your view on martial arts and self defense is by far one of the best I've seen in all my years of studying. I thank you so much for this, really, please keep training and learning, we will be doing the same. Thank you.

The man knows what he's talking about. But more importantly, he knows how to talk about it. Must be a great teacher in person.

I agree completely. This is a very important point. Anyone who can EASILY explain complex concepts (irrespective of the topic), usually knows their stuff VERY well. Good teachers know this. 👍

I see a true martial artist in this person, as he is willing to evolve, just as Bruce Lee and the founders / master's of the hundreds of different styles have done all over the world. A true martial artist has to evolve or become a fossil. Great vid. Rei Sensei.

Using what "WORKS"....discarding what doesn't....THAT IS MARTIAL ARTS!!!! great job Sir

"You probably may have guessed that I don't care." Love it lol. Awesome video, great explanations. Everything was clear and concise, great job, keep 'em coming.

I'm really enjoying the clarity of how you conceptualise what you've learnt and seen, so that your teaching of the underlying principles is crystal clear. I've only recently found your work, and I'm very happy to say I find myself nodding along thinking "yes, I like that, I'm going to use those ideas to help instruct." The angles and the bisects - spot on.

I like to thank you for what you were teaching here. You are like Bruce Lee when he was creating JkD he took what would work the best from different arts to incorporate into JkD he also said in his teaching take what works the best from each art and never quite growing your knowledge because if you want to be head of the game. You need to know how to be ready for anything. To protect yourself.

You make a great deal of sense. All human bodies work on the same principles of balance and leverage. If one understands these principles they can be applied to any style. Thank you for your contributions.

I love the triangle concept, it actually helps to understand alot of aikido throughs too such as irimi nage etc, where the way it works is by taking the attackers balance rather than using strength, but the conceptual understanding of the triangle makes it easier to understand why it works. Bravo...wish i could watch the full tape of this.

Thank you for the video. Clear, concise instruction. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Thank you for teaching me to keep an open mind and broaden my horizons

Thank you for your insight .

The full length videos and additional information about the titles are available at Stay Safe Media. See the link in the video description.

I have not seen anything more than your intro, so far, and it sold me on how you should approach the video. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Thank you for this video. I find quality instruction and excellent value in every one of your videos.

Great stuff Sir, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Very much along the lines of what we're training in our dojo. Greetings from Tay-Do Ryu Germany! I'll be trying out working along the lines of such an triangle, very nice visualizing help. thank you very much for the input.

Excellent demo and information! Thank you!!!!

Oh, and one other thing I forgot which e being so overwhelmed with excitement ... Thank You! Sincerely!

beautiful work and well made instructional video. i will be using this myself.

Really like his advice... open minded to learn new things.

Revolutionary! Awesome job....

this all new to me and it seems very exciting to learn, thanks.

Thank you Michael. So much good in this video. In fact I am going to watch this a few times for the triangle principle. Be well buddy!

Great minds think alike. This approach is very similar to my own. Unclouded, Direct and having the ability to absorb new concepts into an ever growing/refining matrix. Great share.

Very interesting. Thanks Mike

Thank you very much...

very good stuff,like your approach,thanks

Great approached and self-thinking.

Excellent, thank you.

Excellent thank you that is the best explanation I 've seen

I really like the way you use the space!!! i would work with a circle but i really enjoy the triangle idea!!! Thanks!!! Ill keep on watching!!

Hi . Thank u for the tips.

Thanks,very positive,like to see more.

gracias por la instruccion muy bien canal muy buenos videos

Great info :🔥🔥🎯

"Is a chamber for the side kick or a knee? The answer is yes." Nice one :)

im going to continue to learn verry nice words, continuous development for the better

Great sound concepts, like your t.v. Show too, btw, keep up the good work!

Thank you for sharing Sir! Dammithurts!

This was a wonderfull video.

Thanks great info

excellent sir

Great video and it was helpful to me and mine thanks.I hope you will cover silat weapons as well .

Hallo and peace out,… Thank you for analyses, awesome science.thanks

very well said.

beautiful hip work

This is good stuff

Awesome..!!

excellent- thank you. To add a little-Michael has been around for a long time- take parts of what he teaches and add it to what you te of it or the whole but try it.

new sub. thanks for the content

Good stuff! It's like you touched on the philosophies of Jeet Kune Do without even mentioning it!!

good job

Good info on the triangle. I understood those angles before, but the triangle diagram really shows placement, etc. Also, saying that a side kick should go to the side is a descriptor I haven't heard before.

People who found this interesting would also likely gain much from Bob Orlando's "Fighting Arts of Indonesia" ( Parts 1 and 2) , which are available on KZread, (especially his teaching on "Adhesion", the "Whiplash" concept, "Seating", and the like, which can also be searched individually on KZread, though I recommend watching the entire thing, parts 1 and 2, as they are absolute gold....)

Thumbs up! I practice and am very interested in self defense, this is all very clear, seems very practical (gonna try them first chance I get - sparring of course ;) ) and I like your mentality.- respect other martial arts - don't compare apples to oranges so to speak - and realise they can actually co-exist - keep what you want from each of them and broaden your knowledge. Keep the videos coming - would like your take on a life-or-death situation against a knife (where you have to fight).

Totally agree with you. Only a fool sees the end of knowledge. Excellent side kick variation especially for those unable to side kick traditional due to injury or time/ situation constraint.

Thank you Sir for sharing your wisdom and insights of the Asian Combative Arts with us here in the public. Keep up the excellent work and please come and join us on Face Book in the Fu Flicks and Martial Arts Fanatics Group-Oss-Much Respect!

Would lo e to learn under this man.

I've seen alot of videos on YT to this contex, many talk crap, I like your analysis and agree with your principles. Have you tested the theories against an unorthodox stance? i.e. Southpore?

Sooner or later a person has to follow his/her own path. You can only really do your own style. Yes, learn from everyone but work it out for yourself.

Ive had some of these for while and there pretty good on the whole. It would be perfect for say a father teaching his son some self defence skills for the first time. But this third disc really put my nose out of joint. mostly its just material from the first two tapes. and its more expensive! The Secret is just what he explains in this clip. It made me feel like id bought something out of the back of a comic book (I guess i had shame on me). Incidently there is another way people from that part of the world use this third leg concept that isnt explained in the tapes and thats to dillibrately 'fall' into your own third point. Its about the hardest you can hit someone, explosive and confusing. Buy the first 2 OR the third one.

Watched again

"... and BANG! - all kinds of fun... " that made me lolroflcoptermaobbq

Interesting to see new ideas, and someone who understands that karate has a lot of devastating stuff hidden in plain sight. I've always thought that karate was "cargo cult" silat... okinawan karate was a silat-derived art that lost its connection with tradition and now many of the practitioners don't understand the meaning of the movements that they practice hundreds of times a day.

@Chaedhin Thanks I want to work on my footwork. I can swing for the fence all day and forget I have feet,knees and legs to work with to. THANKS Justd3rd Houston,Tx

True.

Very very good sir....this is what is needed not traditional stuff...this is science I now silat cimandi win chun capioerra ...nice but what is needed for all....the science...we are in 2015 people use machine guns"...yes in the train amsterdam paris...you can not play....

Great video. I’ll stick with slicing and dicing

Dude...stop giving away all the ninja secrets! Ok, just kidding. Really folks, this is better stuff then most out there. I've been impressed with most of what these guys put out so far.

These kicks are also found in okinawan kempo.Not surprising since okinawas involvement with the indonesian archipelago predates their involvement with china or japan.They have been almost forgotten in japanese arts of modern karate due to sport influences.Some sensei still instruct in them fewer still emphasize them.

"Now I went through all this trouble to raise this knee and burn these calories..." X-D

@lapdragon101 neither me as far the other dude will be down.This man is not a thief but a Master that have the sharp mind to learn and make simple many old skills that need to be review, and passed to today reality.

All this guy did was what ALL martial artist's should do, and ADAPT the perfect form you learn in class, and learn how to use it effectively. This doesn't mean you're going to have "perfect form" at all times. Just because you don't use complete form it doesn't mean you have thrown away you're traditional fundamentals, it just means that you understand how to effectively use it.

@justd3rd equilateral triangle= 60 degrees all angles.

@plastik015 it is an excellent vid...its no Goss Rutten mind you

what are the dimensions of the silat triangle?

people really trust to know the secret ....the triangle is not only a matters of footsteps ... but it's the closing of a move that gives you the certainty of victory over an opponent ..and this tecnique has the triangle form

Which style is this

"you probably may have guessed that I don't care", lol your awesome.

👊👊

Fighting and Martial Arts are related, but they are not necessarily the same thing. The point of the video is to expose/emphasize the practical application of techniques of methods that may have become obscured over the years. It happens.

@Brainlag7 hehe, ya it reminded me 1 of my old teachers use to say. "than all kinds of fun stuff" well, close enough to it :p hehe

make sense to me
