Nubreed Kali Silat consists of a complete mixture of Filipino and Indonesian martial arts. We believe that the main difference that stamps a particular style is the use of it's principles and tactic's, and the use of practical application's in fighting. An art should have pliability, speed, dexterity and plenty of common sence, leading to technical advancement, in an easy enjoyable effective progressive way. Up until 25 years ago, both arts evolution was largely independent of each other. But as communications and cultures opened up and Filipino and Indonesian Instructor's began emigrating to the USA each with their established styles began to teach what was once a closed door family system only taught to family and friends. The slow but progessive technical advancement of the American instructors was so progressive that even the old masters of the arts were amazed with the training and creativity of the Americans.
The American instructors then began to Americanize what they had learned, by adding techniques and new adaptations, and combining old systems to make a New breed of exercises and training methods. New forms and sets of movements developed. The mixing of Kali with Silat was only the beginning, By reducing the necessity of hitting the hands and sparring full contact. The arts then became available even to the very young and the old alike. Also young girls and women could now particpate as well. Also the main difference that stamps a particular style is being unique and interesting to learn. And the enjoyment of the flowing movements, and the simplisity on learning the art.
Therefore, the advantage of using the best from both systems is a wonderful balance, of building a strong foundation of practical methods of self defense in weapons and empty hands, that are taught in a unique and dynamic way. In Nubreed Kali Silat one will never say one style is better than the other. All provide an excellent course of self defense training with the standard of equal skill .
