Cun Tao is the first two phases of training. It is an 18 week comprehensive self-defense course where the practitioner develops effective self-defense skills, kicks, punches, parries and the initial forms. Students also learn rolling, falling and a prescribed series of 108 quick release moves, which can be used to defend against both empty handed attacks and attacks with weapons. Cun Tao usually requires 3 to 6 months of training to complete.
Third Phase training begins the movement of the four animals Tiger, Crane, Monkey and Snake. From these animal we gain our knowledge of staying clam and fluid, striking out of movement. Students begin to spar using the knowledge they gain from Lunkas (forms), breathing exercises and meditation. The student also creates their personal kumbong(form) which is said to be the mirror of the fighter.
History
The art was develop by Mas Goeroe Agoeng (grandmaster) Willy Wetzel a Dutch Indonesian man and ninth degree Golden Dragon. Mas Goeroe Agoeng traveled throughout Indonesia studying many styles of Pentjat Silat and took the best parts of each to develop the style of Poekoelan Tjimindie Tulen. Mas Goeroe Agoeng brought the art to this country in 1956 to Beaver Falls, PA. The first school to teach Mas Goeroe Agoeng’s style was opened in Lowellville, Ohio in 1973 by Mas Goeroe Barbara Niggel under the direct tutelage of Mas Goeroe Agoeng Willy Wetzel. Mas Goeroe Agoeng’s compassion, spirit, and dedication to his art were boundless.
