Indonesian Pentjak Silat Soempat Curved Rattan Fighting Stick & DVD Set escrima
Indonesian Silat Fighting Soempat Stick plus Instructional DVD!
This stick is constructed of select Rattan with stylized burn-patterns and Retina-Retention tape ends.  It is hand-formed to the correct angle and was a favorite training weapon of Maha Guro Pak Victor deThouars as it gave added advantages over a straight stick. Silat Soempat was founded by Pak Tisari Mardjoeki, a Serak Guru from West Java (1902-1976).  The unique curvature of this fighting stick allows for high torque strikes, and hook and drag techniques.  Also popular with advanced Escrima, Kali, Arnis practitioners.  The Soempat Stick measures 28" long with the bend occurring at the last 8 inch. 1 inch diameter.
NOTE: This is a natural product. Stick diameter is approximate and can vary by up to 1/4 inch. Sorry we CANNOT guarantee an exact diameter.
Comes with the first instructional DVD to cover the principles of Soempat, which includes the system's angles, techniques and Sambutans. Sifu/Guro Crow teaches the Sambutans (counter for counter), basic 9 angles of the art, offensive and defensive techniques, and the rare first 2 Jurus of Silat. 60 min.
Sifu/Guro/Coach Raymond Crow has been certified by the late Grandmaster Richard Bustillo, Guro Dan Inosanto, Sifu Larry Hartsell and Ajarn Chai Sirisute. Before his passing, Guro deThouars granted Sifu/Guro Crow permission to teach Silat and the Soempat system to the public.
