Persatuan Seni Silat LianPadukan. - 05/29/11 01:09 PM

Hello everybody..
I'm from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I am a silat practitioner..
Used to learned Seni Silat Gayong and now i'm learning Seni Silat LianPadukan. Seni Silat LianPadukan is different from other silat melayu. It is a form of martial arts that is in the 'Buah Pukul' categories in Malaysia.In Silat 'Buah Pukul' LianPadukan, practitioner do not have to roll around, no karate or taekwando style of high kicks & no locking technique or grappling..It's a form of hitting your enemy flat to the ground. Every moves is a direct hit to the enemys face or body..
Originally was brought to Tanah Melayu (Malaysia was called Tanah Melayu) by a chinese muslim trader named Sheikh Abdul Rahman AlYunani in 1897. Stories says that Sheikh Abdul Rahman defeated 8 chinese port workers that tried to mug him easily. The incident was made known to Sultan Ibrahim (Sultan of the state of Johor) and the sultan ordered his personal bodyguard, Dato' Awang Daik (a silat sunting master) to test Sheikh Adbul Rahman. Dato' Awang Daik brought along the Chief Police of Muar district, Pak Long Muhd Yassin (a silat sendeng master). After long talks, both of the silat masters managed to persuade Sheikh Abdul Rahman to show his skills and both the silat masters was defeated by Sheikh Abdul Rahman. Then, both the silat masters brought Sheikh Adbul Rahman to Johor to teach them and others the skill of his fighting technique..Since then, the fighting skills taught by Sheikh Abdul Rahman is known as silat 'Buah Pukul' or silat Lian..
Now, silat 'Buah Pukul' or silat Lian has develope into few different styles..The most well received is Seni Silat LianPadukan..It's movement is fast and has always been compared to the chinese style of kung fu - Wing Chun.
Among it's philosophy is - wanna hit but dont wanna get hit.

The Founder of Seni Silat LianPadukan.

Seni Silat LianPadukan was founded by the late Mohammad bin Chik or better known as Pak Mat kedidi. He upgraded & modified the original silat 'Buah Pukul' or silat Lian and name it Seni Silat LianPadukan. He started learning Silat Lian from his father at a very young age. At 9 years old, he was sent to the Kelantan state to futher his knowledge. He learned from his brother-in-law when he was 19 years old. In 1939, at 27 years old, he joined the police force and was posted to Padang Besar,the Malaysia & Thailand border. There, he learned Muay Thai from Tok Chah, a respectable Muay Thai guru. Under Tok Chah, Pak Mat Kedidi managed to win tournaments around the border and was known as 'The Black Beetle'. The name - The Black Beetle was given to Pak Mat Kedidi because of the 'hissing' sound of his kicks.

He also managed go back an forth between Kuala Lumpur and Kuala Sungai Baru, Melaka to learned Silat Sendeng Asli Muar from Long Aman bin Ujan. There, he also mastered the Tekpi or Sai.

Then, he continued to learn Silat Lian from Chu Aman, a master in Silat Lian and in 1961,Pak Mat Kedidi received the Silat Lian 'Buah Pukul Mersing' Nukil or the historical scroll of masters of Silat Lian from Chu Aman. He was asked to continue studyng the technique of Silat Lian from Sani Abu Samah and in 1972, before retireing from the police force, he befriended Pak Manas, a master in Silat Sunting. His cousin, Haji Ahmad Awang, the mufti of negeri Johor, managed to talk him to register and named the way of fighting as the Seni Silat LianPadukan. After retireing, Pak Mat Kedidi expanded the teaching of seni silat LianPadukan which he created by mixing the arts of Muay Thai, Silat Sendeng, Silat Sunting and the Silat Lian 'Buah Pukul' into a fighting technique that is fast,no mercy & hard and still managed to preserved the original silat 'Buah Pukul' philosophy - want to hit but do not want to get hit..

How Closely Related are the Malaysian Arts to the Filipino Arts?

Re: Persatuan Seni Silat LianPadukan. - 06/20/11 09:50 AM


hey Dobbersky..
I'm not really familiar with Filipino's fighting arts..Malaysian's silat are more similar to the Indonesian's silat..As some of the silat in Malaysia originated from Indonesia..Silat Harimau Berantai was introduced to Malaysian by the Minangkabau people that migrated to the state of Negeri Sembilan in the centre of Malaysia. Silat Sendeng was brought by the Bugis people to Johor.
All these silat was practised by most people in Malaysia, Indonesia as the region is the Malay archipelago. That includes the Filipino islands. Maybe that explains why all these fighting arts are related.

In Silat LianPadukan, there is no rolling,no dancing,no laying down,no turning around,no running. In LianPadukan, punching means 'Buah', perisai (palm) means 'pukul'. When we punch, the enemy blocks, we will counter.The same when the enemy punch, we will counter. In LianPadukan, offensive strikes are the main concept rather than defensive. This are the main concept which is not much different than the original 'Buah pukul' concept.
Basicly, LianPadukan teaches its practitioner to launch a contineus pattern of strikes that is aggressive and will not allow the enemy to strike back. And that is the philosophy of Silat 'Buah Pukul' Lian. Once a LianPadukan attackes in closed range, he will contineusly pressure the enemy with a pattern of strikes that will broken down the enemies defence and will contineu to strikes until the enemy is defeated or falls flat on the ground.
LianPadukan is not a defensive or pasive form of martial arts. It is an offensive, pro active, aggressive and dangerous form of martial arts.

In LianPadukan, there is 4 basic movement called Jurus which teaches the use of hands, elbows, knees and the foot to kicks. Perisai is the usage of the knife like palm of the hand to strike and blocking the enemy while moving forward, inwards or outwards and it is an important movement which is applied in every stage of Lian.
After mastering the Jurus, practitioner will learn the next stage called Lian. Lian is a similar concept to 'Kata' in Karate and other japanese/chinese martial arts.
There is 4 stage of Lian in which each stage contains 4 different level of Lian to master. During these stages, practitoner will learn techniques, tactics and applications that are related to each Lian. Practitioners skills will developt and enchance during each stages of Lian.
In LianPadukan, practitioners will learn techniques and tactics such as 'Rebut'(how to brake down the enemys defence), 'Reju'(continues pressure to the enemy), 'Turut'(how to move forward,sideways following the enemys movement), 'Titik'(how to brake down enemys hand strike) and 'Makan Gerak'(how to counter enemys attack).

Here is an article about LianPadukan written by Master Nigel Sutton taken from The Silat Melayu Blog-

Lian Padukan
Article written by Nigel Sutton

Lian Padukan is a form of Malay martial art (Buah Pukul) and yet it is quite distinct from other forms of Malay martial art. Lian means "way" while Padukan means "fortified strength".

In the 21st Century the Martial Arts have come of age with many exponents cross-training in a number of disciplines in order to ensure that they develop a weel -rounded range of skills. Silat Lian Padukan embodies this ethos of constant improvement and innovation so that an art which was brought to Singapore in the 19th Century by a part Arab-part Chinese Moslem has grown to encompass the Malay art of Silat and the Thai art of Muay Thai. And always this art has been put to the test with generation after generation of exponents fighting both armed and unarmed to prove the efficacy of their art.

The Master who gave this art its current name, Guru Tua Pak Mat Kedidi, is no exception having earned the nom de guerre of The Black Beetle when fighting his way to become a Thai Boxing champion in southern Thailand. He acquired this name because of the buzzing sound his kicks made as they cut through the air and into the opponent with unswerving accuracy.

Pak Mat took the art handed down through successive generations from the time that Syed Abdul Rahman Al-yunani came to Singapore in 1836 and combined it with his experience in numerous other styles of Silat as well as Muay Thai (Tomoi) to create the 99 forms of Lian Padukan. Included among the Lian are the two principal weapons of the art, the staff and the tekpi (iron three pronged truncheons known in Japanese Marial Arts circles as Sai).

Although the entire syllabus maybe learnt in 6 or 7 months of intensive study, to become fully competent takes the average student two years. Those who wish to further their study may undergo the formal Khatam ceremony after which they will be eligible to learn the advanced techniques including the infamous Tujoh Makam (also known as the Buah Seminggu), which involves seven days of intensive training with each and every hour spent one on one with the teacher.

Here is another LianPadukan video. Taken from Galeri Nasional TV1, Malaysia's premier tv channel. It's in Malay language. It features YB Dato Dr Haji Hashim, the Grandmaster of LianPadukan (the one wearing the white kopiah or headgear) & Cikgu Dr Hisham Giant, the national secretary of LianPadukan (the one with long haired ponytail). They mainly talked about the origin, philosophy, the Nukil or the ancient scroll of Silat Lian, the Buku Nukil or the ancient book that explaints the secret of the ancient scroll..Even if you guys cant understand the language, hopefully you guys can see and enjoy the moves and techniques shown in this video of LianPadukan..

Hi Zach_Zinn..thanks you for your time to read this tread..its a martial arts that origins from China, so maybe thats explains the resemblence to other chinese or japanese martial arts..However, this fighting arts have been inherited to the malay community for a hundred years..Its have been evolving through the years, upgraded and the mixture of others silat style in it like silat sendeng, silat sunting and muay thai makes it more unique..

Re: Persatuan Seni Silat LianPadukan. - 07/28/11 02:27 PM

Of course, like all arts i'm sure it does it's own thing.

The footwork and stepping really does look alot like Xingyi though, at least from my knowledge of it.

It's interesting because i've also heard some claim that Xingyi came partially from some Muslim sources..

Re: Persatuan Seni Silat LianPadukan. - 07/30/11 10:48 AM

Hi Zach_Zin..
i'm not surprised that you mention silat LianPadukan resembles Xingyi. I've got other people says that LianPadukan looks like Wing Chun..One thing for sure it is a kind of Kung Fu style of fighting..In Malaysia, most silat styles will have some kind of locking technique. However, in LianPadukan, there's no locking involved. Only striking technique. Even when blocking a punch, a LianPadukan practitioner do not simply block it, he will strike or 'titik' the attacker's hand.Then the LianPadukan practitioner will counter attack with his 'perisai'.The 'perisai' will act as a shield if the attacker launches a second punch with the other hand, but the 'perisai' will strike the attacker's face if the attacker's other hand is not active.Then, a LianPadukan practitioner will strike with a punch that follows up the 'perisai'.This is the basic of Jurus 1 in the LianPadukan sylibus..

Yang Datang Kita Sambut, Yang Balik Kita Turut..
This is another philosophy in LianPadukan. It means that what ever that comes will be received and what ever that goes back will be followed. In other words, when ever an attacker throws a punch or kicks to a LianPadukan practitioner, a LianPadukan practitioner will received it with a strike and when the attacker pulls back the punches or kicks (usually in pain), a LianPadukan will follow up with another strike..

Re: Persatuan Seni Silat LianPadukan. - 08/07/11 12:30 PM


According to Cikgu Hisham Giant( National Secretary of Persatuan Seni Silat LianPadukan Malaysia), whoever wants to learn LianPadukan, the new students needs to learn to accept pain of being hit, strong mental & fizical fitness and an open mind. Being in a real fight is painful, so new students need to learn to endure and accept pain. LianPadukan do not teaches and encourage the practitioner to start a fight but if there's a need to fight, the practitioner have learned the skills & arts of fighting. Before being hit by the enemy in a real fight, LianPadukan teaches it's practitioner to endure being hit and also how to strike the enemy. Whatever it is, LianPadukan teaches the concept & philosophy of "Want To Hit but Dont Want to be Hit". LianPadukan teaches the practitioner to always be cautious, curious and always ready.
