Silat Buka Lingkaran

Silat Buka Lingkaran Welcome to Silat Buka Lingkaran (which translates “Open Circle”).
(1)

This Silat system is a beautiful, dynamic and effective martial art with it’s influence and roots being from Nusantara (old Indonesia) and modern Indonesia. Having had enquiries about my Silat influences and connections recently, I felt it would be helpful to clarify things. I intend to keep researching and growing in my martial arts journey into the future - as I’m sure we all do. For the record,

Silat Buka Lingkaran is my development and interpretation of the years of training, research and study I have carried out. It is not associated with or connected to any other Silat arts or organisations (or indeed any other distinct martial arts styles). While I have the greatest respect and admiration for all other martial arts and teachers, I am training and teaching Silat Buka Lingkaran as distinct and separate form other styles and associations. This is a beautiful art that I hope people can enjoy and grow in at their own rate and I will do my best to pass on the relevant information and skills to those that might be interested in this way of training.

**Available for private lessons & seminars!**

Most people saw this 12-second clip and judged it instantly.

It’s now over **2 million views** and still being debated:

“That forearm block will shatter your wrist.”

“A decent kick would go straight through that arm.”

Fair reactions - if that’s all you saw.

What you didn’t see is the structure, timing, and progression behind it.

This is a small section from a larger training method focused on movement, positioning, and flow under pressure.

We broke the entire thing down properly here:

Short clip from the last SBL workshop in Rome by our Italy Rep. Andrea Citarelli.

In the last weekend of June the SBL head instructor guru Alvin Guinanao will be in the “eternal city” for a great international seminar.

Stay tuned! 💪💪

Flow Is Control

Guru Alvin says this often: “No gaps.”

A gap is when you move… stop… then move again.

In a real situation, hesitation costs you time. In training, hesitation breaks your focus.

Movement should be continuous. One action melts into the next.

Example: Think of pouring water from one cup to another. The stream doesn’t stop halfway. It flows smoothly.

That’s how your transitions should feel.

Flow doesn’t mean fast. It means connected.

When you remove the gaps, you remove doubt.
