dont underestimate other martial art, such silat...
most of the silat people dont really the kind of showoff, coz they bind by their pantang larang...they only use for helping n protect them self... even u challenge them, they will not fight with u with full strength
Some part is true. But in the end, its what kind of character the holder of the skill is. Over at my neighbourhood, there is one that practice too hard and he went nuts and sort of attacked his parents and brother. The other is an arrogant fool that uses it in fights. Last i heard he is skipping town because he is hunted by another silat group. I'm not saying silat is no good. But martial arts in general.
In the end, whatever pantang larang is to keep their students in check. But they cannot control their behaviour. If they are panas baran type how? No such thing as not using full strengh. Thats only in movies. Its not videogame. If your heart is to disable the guy, then you would probably do it. No such thing as a slap would not leave a hand print also.
A martial arts supplier once told me that there is this move you slap a guy right on his face and the ear, it causes him temporary imbalance and shock and enough time for you to run away. That is very good enough for me to say self defence and not even landing a punch or kick.

Anyway this thread got some low life talking about chinese and indians. See what i meant when i said about silat got pantang larang? Anyone think he cares even if he is master at silat with pantang larang? Sure he would beat people up just because he cannot talk you down. Nuff said.
