1. Tadreeb Qital - Physical combative movement to gain control over or kill an enemy through the use of ground fighting, edged weapons, hand to hand combat, impact weapons, improvised weapons, or projectile weapons

2. Silat Yoga -  To increase flexibility, strength, suppleness of movement and general well being of the body

3. Tama  - Warrior body culture development exercises to ingrain the fluidity of human combative movement into "fight specific areas" of the body

4. Furusiya or Futuwa - Traditional warrior chivalry that ingrains the concepts of honour, duty, sacrifice, loyalty, and other aspects of the warrior ethos

• Pencak Silat Sharaf

Pencak Silat Sharaf, is a modern system of combatives developed by Ustaz Hussein Udom, an internationally respected combatives trainer and published author. The system is based on four primary sources of traditional Muslim Fighting Arts and Warrior culture.

1. Ottoman Military Arts
2. Silat War Arts of the Malay Archipelago
3. Hui Zhu Muslim Chinese Fighting Arts
4. Research, Development, and Combative Experience

The curriculum of Silat Sharaf is separated into inner (batin) and outer (zahir) elements, each with their own course of study. The outer elements develop proficiency in armed and unarmed combat in the close quarter and extreme close quarter fighting ranges. Practical concealed carry weapons like knives and guns are primary tools while more classical weapons like sword, garrote, and stick are also covered. Emptyhands and groundfighting are also very important aspects of the outer curriculum.

The inner elements develop into three areas, classical chivalry, internal body culture development, and military history/culture. The Chivalry or Furusiya (futuwa), is a classical code of conduct and propriety that can be traced back to the beginnings of the Muslim community in Arabia over 1400 years ago. The Warrior Body Culture elements strive to develop command of human energy by understanding how the body develops force, harnesses it, and releases it. Silat Sharaf has gained a reputation worldwide as one of the most functional, simple and fluid systems of Silat available for study.

 


• Silat Tarab Street Combatives

Silat Tarab, is a modern system of Street Combatives. The system is based on traditional Silat Fighting Arts of the Malay Archipelago, Ottoman Military Combatives, Personal Experience, and Research. Silat Tarab is the CORE COMBATIVES element of Silat Sharaf which is a larger curriculum of physical and academic Silat study.
 
 The contents of the Silat Tarab training modules were designed over many years and took hours upon hours of designing and redesigning to create. Thus ensuring that students receive the best possible training in every class they attend. Training focuses on developing proficiency in using emptyhands, guns, knives, and groundfighting techniques to prevail in high stress combat environments.
