could do. I would like to continue with karate."
Salmaan Khan

"My experience with silate... I found silate very interesting and enriching. I think I have

learnt alot and will be able to defend myself if need be. I felt we have an assertive teacher

who helped us achieve our personal best. My only negative comment is that we as a class were

very disruptive and our teacher found it hard to control us and therefore we lost alot of our

time when our teacher stopped the class to discipline and talk to us. I found this course to be

physically challenging which helped me improve my physical power."
Najma Yusuf

"I enjoyed the Silat course alot. My favourite parts were the kicking and the evading

techniques. One thing that I won't forget is that you can see a persons attitude by looking at

their body language. I also won't forget the breathing exercises. I would come back again,

because I still know there is more for me to learn. It is fun and you're learning discipline

and how to push yourself at the same time."
Zubair Shabodien

"What I like about silat is the streching and the punch and I like the streching becuaes its

easy to do so is the punch. Thank you for teaching me."
Achmad Thomas

"What I like about silat... Silat is hard but fun. You can learn lots of things when you do

silat, like respect you also learn how to defend yourself ect. Silat is something that will

take 3 years to perfect. What I like about silat is that it's lot's of fun and when you get to

try it out on people. what I learnt...respect."
Kulthoom Ferris, Age:9

"I experienced respect and defending. I enjoyed it alot and want abanng to teach at mosque."

"My Personal Silat Experience: This is my personal experience in a 20 day, 40 hrs of silat

program.

Positive remarks: I really enjoyed the silat training. I would like to carry on with silat and

proseed to the red belt ( the highest belt). They helped us through the things that we didnt

understand, in other words - they were very nurturing. Ivé ;earnt alot of different 'ways'and

techniques of silat. the kind of silat that we learnt was called 'pukulan melaka. and I would

like to carry on with it. Our silat teacher told us about a trip to Malaysia for a tournament

in 2013. I really want to go.

Negative remarks: They could have given us longer breaks! And they could have been more

punctual!"
Don't mess with a Pesilat! Use silat wisely. By Zahraa Kaskar

"Siluts are very nice. It's a littil hard but good. I really like it alote. Siluts are youst

for sulf-defents. It's note for black bults and yellow bluts. It's for sulf defents. That maens

to preteked your sulf. The best pote is wen we do haurmute, punching, kicking and bracks. I

prackters with my piers."
Hishaam Ho-kim

"I think silat is ok and fun at the same time. Some technique's and hard and tricky and you are

there to help me thank you for the lovely time. I hope you start a class for the year becaes I

want to come."
Saeed Thomas

"I enjoyed silat very much because it is not only a self defence but also a life skill. A life

skill that teach you to respect other human beings and not to think you are better than the

next human being. You become humble.
The Fatigah is one aspect I will forever practice. When I'm about to patrol at night in my

community, I recite the Fatigah & I can feel the presence of Allah protecting me & the

community.
Yes, I would like to continue with silat and live a life of fulfilling the 5 promises of

silat."
Abduraghiem Latief. Wednesday 4 January 2012/ 9 Saffar 1433.
