I love weather magic. If you use it for the right reasons the universe will back you up.

the guy in th white shirt can does 1,000 pushups & 1,000 Hindu squats no problem he is big in to Matt Furey, and also lifts kettle bells & does Chi kung as well ith Guru Pak Harold Koning. The big guy in the black taller than me lifts weights and does body weight exercises I am just using very basic tenaga dalam & Dr. Morris hoshin stuff here. Peace Santiago sWVtPdJbZwY

I am not going there. Seek for yourself. God bless Santiago

You are more than welcome to come train with me I will show you. I am sure DV's masters are good I never said otherwise....I just do not buy the stories nor believe the masters would say such things if they where real.....Sorry but no....I think DV says things to attract people to pay more $. I have seen plenty pf masters that can do some very "unreal" stuff and non of them charge astronomical $ nor make stories claiming so & so has or does not have a dan tien or a secret chakra lost from the tibetans etc etc...Nor do they show off their stuff it just is a side effect of their daily cultivation. Both Glenn Morris & my Ilmu Kebatinan Guru can Bilocate and be in more than one place at the same time. I have experienced it and seen it with my own eyes on a few occasions. Can I do this? Not sure but students of mine have told me they have seen me "pop" in and out around them through out the day both energetically and physically from time to time. Do I try to do this no its just a side effect. You get me? So when people claim that so and so does not have real chi or real kundalini or real dan tiens tells me they need to stop sniffing glue & sharpie markers.....Be real forget about marketing elitism. the real Mo Pai students I know are nothing like this an also not at all EXAGGERATED instead they are good people and sincere and also have confirmed for me what they have and what I have. Also ironically all have nothing good to say about DV....Long winded articles on Bullshit sorry but true... David you are welcome to come pay me a visit if you think I am wrong...... or come see any one of my teachers with me. God bless D "Shen" V, I pray for his success & his path. I hope he finds what he is looking for in this life time. All good things end up being similar at their higher levels. You see that in Internal Martial arts. And anything principle based. Things are much more simple and truth is because of that simplicity NO ONE believes it or wants to train it. I will not go into detail BUT.... I will point you in the right direction... with anything you do you should look for a few things: One powerful lama once told me with everything there is an "outer, inner and secret inner process" Start with the Biological Understanding than move to an energetically understanding than move to a more quantum & universal/spiritual understanding. Watch nature.... Look at the universe and its logos to get a proper Model.... Look at Neutron stars (cosmic compression at its best!) & other Solar logos, & black holes. There are methods to each stage i wont go into them here but look at your body and if you had to store something precious where would you store it? How would you nurture it? Feed it? Love it? Interact wth it? If the creator resided inside you where would that be? There are some things I can not share here I am not allowed out of respect to my Ilmu Kebatinan Gurus & also out of respect to Glenn Morris. But again just come pay me a visit. Ask Vortex how was the Dan tien work I put you through in KAP 1? He can tell you that was just a "surface glance". He was in my living room doing it. Also he felt with his hand my dan tien. But again go past concepts and what is and isn't. Trust your heart and your higher self/Creator. If you feel I am telling you something untruthful seek for yourself. Peace, Santiago

Apparently people are incapable of scanning & feeling energy & also seeing things energetically. Cool Glad you viewed them. You can create a field although I am just "being" in those videos & using proper Dan tien work & sacred mantras, Low levels one needs breath higher levels breath doesn't matter. Here you can see Tao & I use mantra, mudra, dan tiens, breath and also intention. Some times its all sometimes its just one component. But see to achieve that stuff you have to cultivate Divine energy and develop the Dan tiens. eV-8W3EO6Gg You can do a lot of things with that sort of thing.. one approach is to be very passive & yin another is to be Yang. But see non of that is possible with out a Dan tien & its cultivation....hence I know some of the folks here are full of shit. Thanks all of it I owe to the Creator, and my various Gurus that have helped me get to where I am now. God Bless & seek truth answers & methods are out there with out BULLSHIT & $10,000, Real masters only ask you use it for the better of humanity & the planet & that you help others. As I have said before its good thing to take care of your gurus but real gurus never abuse of that either.....It ain't about the $. Santiago

I just read over this thread.....God there is a lot of Bullshit here. I hope know one buys into the BS SDenty & D Shen V are pumping out. I love how only 1 man has all the answers and the truth about the Dan tien and or cultivation...mean while there have been plenty of masters who have an actual dan tien and real cultivation from Sufi, Tao, Buddhist & hindu Tantric traditions, Egyptian mystery schools etc. God Bless & do not buy in to expensive bullshit. Peace Santiago

Mantis you live like 15 minutes from me come train and empty your cup. You will be glad you did. Santi

Have you ever had tea with a Silat player? I have many tai chi friends. They get along nicely..... and they consider what I do not "hard". It can be when it is needed to be. Seems to me you live in your head and not the real world. You are in UK right? You are serious about culivation? Go research Simon Das & Alex Kozma. both good friends of mine that can walk the walk on both the martial & spiritual side. Santiago Honor your parents no matter how shitty the situation may be. You owe a great deal to them for being here. Parents are not perfect but you are alive today cause of them.

<<what are you protecting yourself from'? >> There is always a "Knuclehead" who does not follow the Tao like the rest of us do.

True & True the chap is Guru Santiago....Guru being a teacher of the ways of PENCAK SILAT. An art created by spiritual masters to protect & preserve. But its much more than that. Hey did you know that Buddha was highly trained in the arts of combat & warfare? Did you know that Jesus & the 12 apostles carried knives & some swords? Did you know that the 9 saints "WALI SONGO" also carried weapons and where the best of the best in Silat? Its not a world of peace one must know how to defend them self if there is no last resort. You want to learn how to hurt, learn to heal, you want to learn how to heal, learn to hurt. Martial arts is one of the fastest ways to learn about generousity, compassion, healing, & inner & outer cultivation. The warrior way had to work or you where left dead on the battle field. Your healing skills also had to work or you could die. Peace Santiago

There is a science to making good karma. I thinking sitting it out and letting the rest of the world not have a better place is enough for me to tell you better you leave cause you are just wasting air, prana, and existence an you miss the point. The universe nourishes so should you. One could argue that doing good or bad does not matter or exist. Tell that to a rape victim or someone who has just experienced a horrible crime or whatever. True on one level yes. On another level there are starving kids and abandoned children and people suffering that could use a helping hand. You want good karma......BE GOOD KARMA to people. Just be a person of good service generosity & devotion. If you can donate money with the intentions to help others not to seek anything in return. If you know how to do energy work send energy to people who need it & to the PLanet. If you have good healing skills, visit folks that could use it and offer it to them with no expectations of things in return. If you are hired as a healer do the job and then do that extra mile or 2 to make sure that person is always doing good. You may not be able to help ALL......but you can effect the lives of more than you think if you have the right energy & intentions in your heart. To sit and do nothing is exactly that nothing....Show me where the universe sits still? Peace Santiago "Take once give back twice" - Dr. Glenn Morris Its a title like "sifu" in Silat. not one of religious or spiritual status. it means teacher. I have earned that title. What exactly is your LOL & Cynical roll of eyes about?

There are a lot of Pendejos on the path. Classic

Debates are healthy : ) . War time vet eh? Not for me I prefer doing body gaurd work in Miami or Police work. I would only fight like that if I had to if it was on our soil and I needed to protect my family or "Hood". Miami would be a bad place for folks to fight...lots of folks carry heavy guns here and AK47, and other automatic goodies. Unfortunately it tends to be the "thug". A concealed weapon permit in MIA is needed. 2 of my students where in the gulf also in war time in the marines and military. One of my Silat teachers saw war time as special forces in Panama. I am 31 going on 32. No there is ways to do application video that is not stage just have people attack you and you move. You do not have to kill you attackers but you can certainly show application this way in healthy manner. Anyhow I have plenty of Silat videos up for you to see. I will see if I can put some vids of some of my Gurus...they all tend to get made when I show them......lots of "secrecy" in the silat world. Miami is far better than detroit : ) weather/ women/ beaches.....hmmmmmm i do not think I would leave this place. : ) But yeah you are welcome to come hang & train. When you have time show us your vids of what you do as "Internal" on video whether it be sparring, training application etc. Peace Santiago

I know this site however I am not on there. I went on briefly but cared not to stick around. What exactly has been discussed about my school? And where? I do not have any "Fights" on youtube. I have used my art as a Body Guard for Raper Jay Z And other high profile clients and clubs in Miami. I teach students that Protect high Profile Sheiks in high Saudi Family and other clients. And I have other students that are in Security & Police L.E.O. I am actually in the middle of becoming L.E.O myself. My Sera Guru (Cliff Stewart) is known in the field as the body guard of Bodygaurds and creme of the crop in elite executive protection. What we do is Internal & External and it has been battle tested many times. I do not need to "Post" a fight. to know if what I do works. It has worked in my life many times already and it has keeped me safe from more than one attacker a few times. Darin in all honesty and sincerity you are welcome to come train and hang out and play and see for yourself what I have and or do not have. I am always willing to share with folks if they are sincere. You claimed you are "internal Martial artist". All I need to see is vid of you doing application to know if you know. This is not a pissing contest I use my art to defend my family, friends & people that are willing to pay me good$ /per hour. I am not interested in "ring" fights nor UFC stuff. That is not what I am trained for nor care to do. My training floor is always open to those that want to really learn and see for themselves. I recommend you come play @ http://www.thetaobums.com/Hoshin-Fest-2008-t6097.html Hoshinfest this year and see what Internal MA is all about. Peace Santiago

You are a good man VCraigP Now on a side note I did the experiment where I did for a long while did kettle bells alone and dumb bells.... yeah I got muscle fast...But its not the same kind of POwer muscle you get from understanding dynamic tension. then I did ONLY tenaga Dalam for 2 weeks I lost weight and muscles shrank BUT got more definition and was able to lift MORE when I went back to my kettle bells after 2 weeks of ONLY breathing and work on the Lower Dan tien. I was able to over head press a 56lb kettle bell with ease in one hand many times with no problem. And hold as I walk up a stairs or walk a Circle etc. I also found I was much more explosive in my martial arts training & much stronger over all... But you know what DO not take my word for it go train yourself. experiment with only isometerics, with iso metrics as you lift etc, this is only a piece of tenaga dalam you would need to go see a teacher to really "GET IT". most will just get joint problems from conventional weights and will have zero clue about understanding proper structural, and tendon muscle alignment and control nor breathing awareness to build actual power....... I shouldn't even shed light in this stuff cause some people are just as Glenn & Dr. Porter used to call "filled with STUPID CHI". Show us : ) Youtube is a great way to begin.

: )

Mantis you are hopeless bro bring you bench pressings deadlifting pull up self over to my house to train with my silat guys and see what you can or can not do in terms of strength and survival. My training floor is open. I have people BIG small and all sizes male or female so you have many energies to play with and see what is and what is not possible. One of my guys is 215 solid athlete muscle College Football body builder x aikido, JKD, Kick Boxing...needless to say he tasted dirt many times in my class and is now doing Internal along with his External and is infinitely stronger, faster and more lethal now. Peace Santiago Well you said 110lb indonesian guy would get destroyed by Strong man....So I gave you a taste of how Javanese think.....

I do not care how much you lift........ a mans Balls, penis, eyes, ears, CV1, GV 26, GB points, St 5, GB 20, Feet, internal organs, navel & ming meng, & Yin areas of the body are still weak for the most parts unless of course he does some form of Nei Gung or Tenaga Dalam training. If you know where to hit and how to hit and how to manipulate energy size does not matter. Also keep in mind most little indonesian masters carry blades. All of my teachers usually have on them on a daily basis 1 to 4 blades. the 110 lb Indonesian Pendekar will probably have a 1" blade hiding somewhere that is possesed by Khodam or a Jinn & he has been dipping it into piss, fecal matter, frog & spider venom on for years so all he would do is Prick you once you either get paralyzed, get a severe infection or DIE.... Big strong man carry tree & benching 500lb wont even know WTF happened to him after a small prick in a vital area or into a major artery so even if he survives the Cut and the bleed out he will now have to deal with the poison........So what is his bench pressing strength going to do against that??? Mean While a nei Gung man can be poisoned and yet have a higher chance of survival. As Pendekar Herman Suwanda used to say " Silat Means to CHEAT". I have seen big guys that can fight and big guys that Can 't move or fight their way out of a paper bag. And I have seen big guys that do Internal training. The ones that do the internal are by far the scariest. Research Guru Cliff Stewart.

Isometrics does in fact give you power & also Muscle control & also tensing relaxing/ Relaxing Tensing teaches you how to increase and release power. 300lb bench presser who just bench presses is indeed strong... 300lb bench presser who does internal martial arts & Tenaga Dalam & Proper Posture alignment/ Mind body connection is Deadly. I didn't say not to use weights. I use Kettle bells (normal & also while circle walking), do Tenaga Dalam with my weight training and also with many variations of push ups, Squats (Sempok Dempok, Silos, Hindu Squats) with Tenaga, I am all for external /Internal Internal External training. However You need both. To say the guy that does Dynamic tension has no power....I gaurentee you Joe Shmoe body builder who just pressed 300lbs can not rip a coconut open with his bare hands yet 110lb silat rice eating, fasting, incense burning Silat master form Java could easily rip a coconut open with his bare hands. Isometrics Works Especially well if you ad Breath & focus, Mantra/ Affirmation. I have seen one of my teachers....76 year old Guru Pa Harold Koning of Mustika Kweetang Drop 200+ lb men with hits to their vital organs with only his THUMB......... He uses only 5lb weight dumbells to do his exercises BUT with Chi Kung & Tenaga Dalam training. He has been training Silat since he was a Kid in Java & Surinam. He does things that are very much Like Farmer burns course & also like old Indian club exercises with the weights as he also does isometrics and low squats. He actually studied Kushti in Surinam as well. Anyhow point in case, the power he has not from lifting HEAVY weights at all..... but from Tenaga Dalam/ Chi Kung proper focus and resistance training with light weights & Isometrics. He is solid as steel, faster than most young athletes I have seen , not afriad of anyone, and not a man I would like to fuck with if I had to. One thing to keep in mind...mike tyson will be a potatoe when he is old his brain and internal organs are shit compared to real masters.... Lets not even bring KIMBO into the picture. Darin have you ever been hit by a real Internal Martial artist? Peace Santiago

Yes that Course rules I have it somewhere. But yes in it you see VERY similar things to internal training. Mike you are a gem man. Sent you some positive vibes earlier today! peace Santi

exactly Isometrics is still a vital Key. It is "Bandha & Mudra" or Lock in Yoga

Get a Wobble Board and stand on it with one leg 10 min a day work to 1 hr a day while you do deep belly breathing as you watch tv or what ever. This will rehabilitate and stabalize the ankle fast. Also do ankle rotations SLOW. And go see some good healers to give it good chi. Peace & best of luck. Santiago

Correct. In fact its better to Isometrics with proper breathing in combination with Weight lifting & as you are going through the lifting motions. One of my Silat Gurus does weights & Isometrics combined and he is a FORCE I would not want to reckon with. Today in my Silat gathering I took a kettle bell master instructor guy who trains with Steve Cotter & Mike Mahler and should him very quickly how he was creating power and also loosing power from being too "external" and not enough "internal" So I should him to add a basic tenaga Dalam to what he does his strength & power increased greatly. I also showed him how certain sounds when you train actually weaken you.... So there are many sides to the puzzle one needs to analyze to develope power. 1)Breath 2)Posture Integrity 3)Contraction/Relaxation 4)Mantra/sound 5) Spinal Suspension & Opening & CLosing Joints. Shit I have said to much God Bless Santiago
