Donn Draeger wrote, Perhaps there is no pencak-silat as curious as the harimau style performed in Sumatra. The harimau style is named for the tiger and has only been taught to a few people who have used it to great effect. The secrets of harimau’s low-line kicking, devastating takedowns and savagely effective groundfighting can be yours. The instructor in this video is Richard Crabbe de Bordes, who is certified under Indonesia’s General Hanafi. He shows you how to create a fighting art that takes your opponent to the ground and keeps him there. The practical effectiveness of harimau in a real-life kidnapping scenario is demonstrated by the fact that the guru de Bordes teaches rarely seen defense tactics against multiple attackers. There is a chance to learn the secrets of one of the most dramatic and unusual martial arts ever developed.
