I had the opportunity to meet Guru Maul this year in Karlsruhe Germany, I like his work and I must tell you he is a genuine and modest person. His techniques speak for themselves. Great job Maul... Love the video!!
It is an honor and a big compliment to be compared to Manong Inosanto and the DeThouars brothers. But I have a long way to go to even reach a fraction of thier level of knowledge. I have the highest RESPECT for thier endeavour propogating the southeast asian arts. Thank you everyone for the friendship, support and positive feedback :)
Thank you for the kind words and friendship Tuhon Felix. After the honor of meeting you in Germany, I have to make sure I train extra hard :D Big Respect!!
The more i know/watched the man, the more i love him. This form of silat/kuntau is very similar to authentic Wing Chun and has influenced my practice of WC. TQ. You are the very few good people.
Keep up the great work Maul. Respect to Brunei martial arts! And don't worry about the 'critics' because the 'experts' still try to tell me that mexican food was invented by Taco Bell and that pizza was invented by Pizza Hut.
If you don't understand the moves here, no problem. Kuntau is brutal. It is the real kung fu that kicks butt for real. You can learn this October 2012 in NYC with Guru Maul. Google for his website n details. Nastier and more direct than MMA. What, what!!!
@halang2x congratulations you're young and you understand the ancient tradition of this system has also influenced their neighbors, others have not yet understood ..... regards carlo
Impressive video, I really enjoyed it. The style of movement reminds me a good deal of Serak for some reason. Regardless, I enjoyed it a great deal. Best regards! Jason
im american & i love kuntao/kuntaw,silat & kali. from what i understand pinoys are comprised of different groups from the malay/indo peoples so if there is borrowing going on isnt it borrowing from what is already yours from a descendancy & geneological standpioint? if a descendant of the ten datus in the philipines incorporates silat from borneo into his system isnt it his anyway geneologically? im an outsider looking in to this matter could someone give me the clarity i may be lacking?
@the red baron. I follow what you say about borrowing from the same group of people. Pls. note the word used by Guru "Kuntau" in defining his source is actually a Chinese dialect meaning martial art in Hokkien. And this style is very similar to authentic full bodied Wing Chun. Probably this system was introduced by the early settlers to S. E. Asia and combined with the local fighting arts to suit the environment. Anyway, it is the man who makes the art. And Guru knows the art, shows the way and walks the path of a good man. I hope you find this useful. So thumbs up for your attn.
hey...where in CO are you....I think if we get a group of people interested in this we could get maul565 to come do a seminar...like in denver...I live in northern wy so denver is only like 8 hrs away...and my kenpo instructor lives in golden...what do you think?
i know the story is widely publicized but there are some top names endorsing it. as stated on this page illustrisimo,cabales and also pak vic de thoures. he states that one datu actually returned. but even without the datu story pinoys are still borrowing what is culturally theirs anyway. they are descendants of indo/malays right?
I can understand what you are saying...however so many martial arts crossover with similar techniques and theory. Especially in this massive info digital age.
@jamiirali1 The Ten Datu story has though published had been proven to be inaccurate & was fictional, current studies of artifacts found in the Phil establishes it as already a culture by itself & part of the madjapahit and shri visayan empires at that time. Coluld there be an inter mingling possibly but trying to establish whose style was original at this point is difficult if not impossible. Though there are similarities each region has made their styles uniquely their own.
@TheZhendos U sir are ignorant person, FMA is heavily influenced by Silat nat the way around, this evidance accour in Dan Inosanto`s Maphilindo. Dan aware that kali/escrima/arnis is not a complete martial arts, thats why he added some silat system into FMA(mostly in the empty hand techniques). while the root of FMA it self based on the malayan martial arts system, and that so called 10 datus is only fiction to fullfill the nationalism pride.
muy bonito el trabajo , pero en la mayoría de las técnicas ineficaz para la calle, en situaciones reales el oponente es impredecible y la fuerza , rapidez e intensidad es totalmente diferente.
like the story of the 5 IMMORTALS that escaped the destruction of the shao lin temple and spread kung fu through out CHINA ancient and mythical sells.Supposedly they were masters HUNG LI GAR CHOI and FUT.Records show kung fu was practiced 500 years before the monastery existed and before the arrival of bodiharma.
Wtf its original kung fu like in the zhong lian bao line^^ at the moment i have no trainer and maybe I should do silat cause most parts of the kung fu world are so fucked up... Some seconds ago I wrote a comment about the same theme in a knive video of you... I am really so fascinated. The main difference here is that in kung fu there is no ground fighting.
See information on US 2016 seminars at ssbdusa.wordpress.com/. Find email there to inquire further about this system. It is flowing, mechanically sensible and accessible and practical to virtual all body types and ages.
What does all this anthropology have to do with anything here? If baseball was invented in america but played in japan, does it belong to americans? Is that what is being said.

Thank you everyone for the positive feedback :D
this made my jaw drop. i practice martial arts for more than 10 years now, but i rarely see anything this fast, vicious, and smooth

Keep up the great work Maul. Respect to Brunei martial arts!

@tlapower
I have been attending Maul's seminars for 2 years now. Great instruction and a good time. I will be there in November
Have you ever used your training in self defense? If so how'd it go?
Thank you Sifu Conrad. Always good to hear from you :)

saya suka bela diri ini
Grande, bellissimo video,
strepitose abilità Guru
Carlo Brother
cool moves. as always you show something new. more power to you.
is that camera man said "ADUH!" at 0.49?
Was EE Combatives' comment a slight to Manong Dan? If so, wow!! That's pretty ballsy..I'm hoping I misunderstood.
Fantastic as always!....
Guru Maul will be appearing in NYC in March 23-34, 2013, Don't miss it.
Brunei have silat?
Very exellent training !
Kudos to you, guro Maul!
I know I am just proud of you : ) Best wishes always.
i feel good becouse he use to be a trainer because with this kind of style and fllow he could be a killer a perfect killer 😂😂❤❤❤ big respect
i know the story is widely publicized but there are some top names endorsing it. as stated on this page illustrisimo,cabales and also pak vic de thoures. he states that one datu actually returned. but even without the datu story pinoys are still borrowing what is culturally theirs anyway. they are descendants of indo/malays right?

This is brilliant stuff, I'm a believer!
Wow....! mind blowing...!
what's the name of the song in the beggining?
It's a traditional bruneian music, don't know the name though, sorry~.
Renegade Jinki no problem man, thanks
Adai Adai ?
Awesome brother keep up good work. Salams
Is The Best,,,,
Amazing.
Why do you pick up your feet like a STORK? what's the purpuse?
To make sure you have a clear line into the sector your stepping into. This action is seen in other Silat systems also.
@Mider999 Maul travels the world! :) please go to his website and look at his website he maybe able to accommodate you or travel near to you! :)
So this whole style is basically defensive, right?
+dra631 No, but in self defense videos you show the counter to the aggression. If you are being threatened you can strike first strategically.
Tla Power Coooooool!!!!!!!! So, where are the offensive technique videos?
+dra631 It's self defense. I take an offensive technique to mean "how to attack someone". Punches and kicks are commonly known.
Tlapower - I agreed with you, if my grandfather still alive for NOW and I will be his first student haha. Sorry for my bad english --"
KEREN
Good stuff.
exceptional
You know well enough NOT to call me Guru, brother ;)

This is amazing stuff we have a similar attacking system from india called as Kalari i would like to discuss more on this to you
Basic and raw.
