About this bookThis is a complete presentation of the principles and applications of one of the most effective martial arts styles, written by one of the most sought-after Silat masters of all time,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I really enjoyed reading the book. It gives a glimpse of background on Mande Muda and Pak Herman Suwanda. The book shows the Silat styles that make up Mande Muda. I wish the book had more in depth coverage of the Silat styles of Mande Muda. As a matter of fact, that is one of the reasons I didn't give it a 5 star. The other reason is that the book had about 2 chapters covering the Indonesian History. I would've prefered less coverage of the Indonesian History and more coverage on the Indonesian Silat. The Indonesian history chapters are outlines. I fell asleep most of the time in history class during grade and elementary school in Indonesia. So I guess this was a good way for me to catch up *haha* Nonetheless a good book on Mande Muda history. I wouldn't recommend this book if you're looking at technique or jurus illustrations. There are other Silat books that cover techniques and jurus better.
