Thanks to those who made it. Had to pull tru even with the sore throat. But alhamdulilah I managed to conduct the kerambit course for silat and cultural appreciation for this year. kerambit or karambit is a unique weapon of the archipelago that spans few hundred years of history in the achipelago. i do this not for advocating violence but for the love of silat as indonesian-malay-filipino martial culture... and the fact that the drills pertaining to the weapon contains psychomotor improvement drill that can benefit brain health by building new neuropathways. I advocate drills for skills via silat. Do join me in future short courses.
At the heart of the course was also an emphasis on control, ethics, and responsibility, reminding participants that any traditional weapon is first a tool for cultivating awareness, not aggression. Each drill was framed to develop timing, bilateral coordination, and decision-making under calm pressure, qualities that translate beyond martial practice into daily life. In this way, the kerambit becomes a medium for self-mastery and cultural continuity, reinforcing that silat is not merely something we do, but something we carry and embody.
