The 8 Principles of PCK Silat


1. Deception: Includes Decoying, Camouflage and Stealth techniques. Making
yourself appear to be vulnerable or using baits and feints to entice your opponent
into a false sense of confidence. Also includes Off Timing (mental, visual and
auditory) "Steal your Opponents Awareness", indirect vision and indirect hitting.
2. Destruction: "Destroy or Get Out" The systematic destruction of your
opponents incoming attacks beginning with Joints, Muscles and then finally
Nerve Destructions. Hunting the opponents limbs (arms and legs).
3. Penetration: This is the ability to close within striking range of the
opponent, (taking their space) and the proper way of striking the opponent so
that the target is broken, destroyed or put out of action.
4. Adhesion: Sticking blows, sticking to the opponent. Once you enter the
opponent’s space with the principle of penetration, you never give that space
back. Includes the use of tarik (pulling) and dorong (pushing) to off-balance and
sweep opponent to the ground, sticking to them the entire time, pinning them and
finished with multiple strikes.
5. Compacting: Utilizing your body as a weapon by collapsing one blow into
another (the secret of kilap and poison hand). Small arcing blows flowing one into
another with no wind-up or pulling back.
6. The Thorn: The rose is a beautiful flower but when you go to grab the stem
you get stuck by a thorn. The thorns of your body are your knees and elbows.
When an opponent throws in a strike they will naturally get impaled by the thorns
of our body.
7. Bamboo: Utilizing core awareness and angulation of the body to be flexible
like bamboo and help develop “Mad Rooster" and Ricochet Hitting. Bending the
body to angle and give with the opponents blows, without backing up or
retreating and snapping back immediately with strikes.
8. Body Armor: Positioning your body to protect yourself at all times; also
called “Stationing”. Always covering yourself utilizing both arms, both legs and
body position in regards to your opponent. If one hand is high, then one is low,
etc.
