For the second time, 37 year old Abdul Malik Ahmad competed in the Silat World Championships. The 15th silat world tournament was held in November 2012 in Chiang Rai, Thailand (see video at the bottom of page). Abdul Malik is an American muslim and currently a Silat instructor at the ASBD (Azhar Seni Bela Diri - Azhar Moslem Martial Arts) silat school in Virginia, USA. 

In 2010, Abdul Malik was the first and only American athlete at the World Silat Championships in Jakarta, where he participated in the Seni Tunggal category (Solo performance), as well as in the Tanding (sparring) category. Although he didnt bring home any medals, Abdul Malik was happy to participate and enjoy the experience. "Oh, I didn’t win. I got beat by Malaysia. Everyone said I did well, but — I had a wardrobe mishap. So my sarong fell off and that’s, like, 20 points. But I enjoyed myself and I took some video and it was a great learning experience. I think next time I can do pretty well." 

Mr Ahmad has also fought in MMA (mixed martial arts) cage fights, testing his silat skill on fighters from diverse martial arts backgrounds. His eagerness to promote silat as an effective fighting art and sport is attracting more attention from supporters and detractors. This doesn't dampen his Semangat (warrior spirit) well rooted in his blood over the past 20 + years, since being  introduced to the art in a local mosque. 


Here is a list of his well appreciated silat documentaries which continues to inspire many aspiring martial artists around the globe:
