The unique principles and techniques of Silat as taught by the late Herman Suwanda are fully described in this authoritative book. This is a true gem by one of the legendaries masters of Pencak Silat. Pendekar Herman Suwanda made his journey to America from the remote villages and jungles of Indonesia. Only after his arrival in American would the public learn more about Indonesia and its rich martial art culture. Pendekar Herman opened the doors to the world about Pencak Silat and became one of the leading authorities on many different systems of Indonesian fighting martial arts. He had the true "Eye of the Tiger," but also had the heart of a lion. He was a man with the ability to talk to and communicate with thousands of people through his art and his physical ability. He will always serve as a perfect role model. • Foreword by Dan Inosanto • Foreword by Antonio Somera • Introduction • Costumes, Rituals and Traditions PART 1: SEJARAH, INDONESIA 1: Beginning to 1500 AD The Old Kingdoms and The Coming of Islam 2: 1500 AD to 1670 AD Great Kings and Trade Empires 3: 1670 AD to 1800 Court Intigues and The Dutch 4: 1800 AD to 1830 AD Chaos and Resistance 5: 1830 AD to 1910 AD Imperialism and Modernization 6: 1910 AD to 1940 AD New Nationalism 7: 1940 AD to 1945 AD The Second World War 8: 1945 AD to 1950 AD The War for Independence PART 2: MANDE MUDA HISTORY AND TEACHINGS 9: Brief History of Pencak Silat 10: History of Mande Muda 11: Mande Muda Teachers And Association 12: The Mande Muda Academy 13: The 25 Styles of Mande Muda PART 3: FOUNDATIONS OF THE ART 14: Official Uniform and Salutations 15: Warm Up Exercises 16: HandMovements and Strikes 17: Foot And Leg Movements and Strikes 18: Body Positions 19: Forms and Training PART 4: INTERVIEWS WITH HERMAN SUWANDA 20: Harimau Old and New by Antonio Somera 21: Sabetan The Unexpected Slice by Antonio Somera PART 5: REFLECTIONS OF A PENDEKAR 22: My Teacher and Friend by Jim Wimmer 23: What I Remember by Steve Tarani PART 6: EPILOGUE BY ANTONIO E.
