ATHLETIC ADVENTURE
PENCAK SILAT PROGRAM
(Prestasi)
The MP Athletic adventure program is a complete life enhancing art of Self Protection and Spiritual Growth. Members are able to develop very quickly and learn in a step-by-step program combining a perfect symbiosis of 5 skill branches.
- Fitness, Martial Arts and Body Coordination (Gerakan) - Personal Energy and Internal Power Management (Tenaga Dalam) - Combat Principles & Concepts (Beladiri) - Energy Healing (Pengobatan) - Electromagnetoreception and Vibrational Awareness (Getaran)
Fitness, Martial Arts and Body Coordination (Gerakan)
Movement studies begin with becoming aware of and coordinating ones own body. As coordination and control increase, members are introduced step-by-step to offensive and defensive striking, controlling, and restraint techniques, concepts and principles. The movements of MP were developed by Princess Rejoso-- Generation 3--to be extremely effective without the use of brute strength and force. Based on the Bio-mechanics and strengths of a woman’s body, the concepts, principles, and techniques taught in MP center around unlocking and projecting our energy then learning to control the direction and intensity. The movements of Merpati Putih are very fluid and dynamic. They may even resemble some type of dance, but behind the beautiful and delicate actions are the keys to an absolutely incredible and potentially devastating personal power.
Bio Electric Energy and Internal Power Management (Tenaga Dalam)
Breath is the most important key to sustaining life. A person can survive without Food, Water, or Shelter for some time, but several minutes without breathing is almost certain death. Utilizing the proprietary Merpati Putih breathing techniques allows MP Members to generate amazing amounts of Inner Power or Bio Electric Energy and focus it for many different uses including many incredible feats unique to MP Training. After a sufficient amount of Tenaga Dalam (Inner Power) has been generated, Members are taught techniques to manage, focus, and direct their Inner Power to accomplish many amazing mind over matter tasks ranging from rebalancing and healing self and others, to projecting a shield to prevent injury and using the bare body or even concentrating energy into flexible inanimate objects such as towels, belts or rolled up newspapers to break poured concrete, stone, ice, iron and steel, to the incredible lighting of a 4 foot neon light bulb without electricity. At higher levels it is common for members to focus and control their Power to such an extent that they are able to break steel bars in slow motion or using only 1 pinkie finger or smashing leaf spring suspensions from small trucks with their forehead. Breaking is only a small part of the energy applications possible through MP, but an excellent and fun way to test focus and projection of Bio-Energy with a definitive black and white result and instantaneous feedback.
Combat Principles and Concepts (Beladiri)
Merpati Putih Combat and Self Defense was created in the world’s most densely populated landmass, in a tribal warfare culture. Having to fight for life, property and possessions has almost always been a necessity for Indonesian people. One difference between Indonesian warfare and most other cultures is that the King or leader would always be the first one into battle. Their responsibility was to lead their troops into the fight, not just give orders from a safe and secure command post. MP combat was developed to ensure survival in the worst possible conditions. Evolving over several hundred years to be so brutally effective, and in modern times to match a society that is not always walking on the life or death edge, MP members develop a full understanding of human bio mechanics and bio reactions to develop control of an attacker. Understanding the concepts and principles of MP, a member is able to instantly create, modify, and manipulate almost any technique to suit almost any situation. Utilizing Bio energy to enhance striking, leverage, joint manipulation and pressure points, MP members learn a full spectrum of control from simple restraint, to causing temporary injury, permanent injury or maiming, and all the way to the unfortunate last resort of life or death. MP is a life art – not just a combative, and respect for life and the consequences of conflict are heavily stressed in MP. The destructive capability of Merpati Putih is ASTOUNDING, so a clean mind, pure heart and personal control are critical to walking the MP Path. All member candidates are personally interviewed and screened by a qualified MP Instructor. MP does not teach violent people, bullies, or social predators of any type!
Energy Healing (Pengobatan)
MP Energy Healing is absolutely incredible, based on the scientific fact that we are beings of electric energy. Every function that our brains execute and perceive are simply electric pulses moving through our body. In the medical care professions they use electric pulse measuring devices (EEG,ECG,EKG, etc…) to monitor body function. When there is no body function they use defribulators to give the heart an electric jump-start. T raditional acupuncture/acupressure theory states that almost every pain sensation or dis-ease is nothing more than an imbalance in our energy flow. MP energy healing is designed around several ways of general and site-specific energy balance. Having more bioelectricity can greatly increase the ability of our cells to regenerate naturally. Overall self-healing begins early in training. As we increase our fitness, circulation and bio energy, our energetic vibration frequencies increase and our cells begin to act healthier by cleaning and replacing themselves faster. Many members have reported the rebalancing of many chronic conditions (ex…Bad backs, arms, legs, chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia, high blood pressure/cholesterol, PMS, impotence) and losing considerable amounts of weight within 3 months of beginning MP. At this point members are taught to direct their healing energy to specific parts of the body and also to control and dissipate pain. Most members notice that healing of new injuries usually occurs almost/or twice as fast as before. Healing others begins with the ability to detect pain and imbalanced energy flow vibration patterns within the body and the aura, and then to rebalance flow with--or without--touch. Whether the imbalance is an ordinary bruise or a much more complex condition, bioenergetic healing is very possible even at great distances. While we make no medical claims, MP Practitioners across the world report similar health and healing benefits.
ElectroMagnetoReception (EMR) and Vibrational Awareness (GETARAN)
All humans and animals do possess a 6th sense. If you have ever felt someone’s eyes on you and were correct when you intuitively turned your head and checked the direction of your feeling – you have experienced one example of this 6th sense. All things physical and even the essence of thought are fundamentally all forms of energy, meaning that all molecules of matter are composed of tightly arranged atoms with the basic component parts being protons and neutrons (nucleus), with electrons cycling around them. Each different type of matter is arranged differently and the component’s cycle or vibrate differently. Being bioelectric beings, we do have the ability to perceive these vibrational energies in a reproducible and scientifically valid way. Using ILMU GETARAN or the science of vibration, many members are able to sense, differentiate, and identify the unique vibrational frequencies of almost anything. This 6th sense can be developed to the point that a blindfolded or even completely blind since birth person is able to distinguish the size, shape, color, texture, speed and direction of travel of any object. Advanced practitioners are able to detect danger and fight full contact, read, draw, watch TV, use computers and cell phones, play ball, accurately shoot targets, or even drive a car through heavy traffic at the speed limit without physical sight!. In 2003 a caravan of blindfolded and blind (also blindfolded) MP members drove from Bogor to Jakarta under the constant and close supervision of representatives from MURI (Indonesian Museum of Records) and Guinness. A follow-up examination in London for the Guinness judges is being scheduled for 2006. Visually impaired persons and anyone who works with visually impaired persons are welcome to contact MP USA regarding pilot training projects.
Until this ability is proven medically, there will be no charge for
training of the visually impaired. Please email detailing your name, profession and address and hopefully we can start making a difference in the lives of the blind near you.
PERSILAT is the World Pencak Silat Federation. As the Official North and South America Affiliated Member of PERSILAT, Merpati Putih USA is responsible for uniting Silat systems in this region under the umbrella of PERSILAT in order to promote brotherhood between pesilat (pencak silat practitioners) and to standardize competition amongst these stylists under the PERSILAT Competition Rules and Regulations. Pencak Silat competition is similar to many martial arts competitions held within the Western Hemisphere with forms (empty handed and with weapon) and sparring. The main differences are the incredible diversity of martial arts being displayed, more lenient fighting rules and target areas in sparring and most importantly true and honest brotherhood and kinship between practitioners of different systems. Pencak Silat, no matter which style, differs from any and all other genre of martial arts (i.e. Karate, TKD, Jiu Jitsu, Aikido, etc…) in that they are all combative-based yet focus on the beauty of the human form and its movement potentials in performing a martial ‘art’ that allows each individual varying degrees of personal freedom in interpretation and performance rather than just a system of fighting. Mental/Spiritual and Moral development is a cornerstone of Pencak Silat training and while many Silat systems are religiously-based, Merpati Putih is not, nor are most systems. Honesty, Fairness, Peace, Nobility, Truth and Responsibility are quintessential to PERSILAT Membership and MP USA invites ALL pesilat within North and South America to
contact them
to become a PERSILAT Junior Member so that ALL Pencak Silat stylists will have a common ground and the ability to know one another and help spread the practices of the various beautiful and effective martial arts of the Nusantara Archipelago (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei Darussalam).
PERSILAT Competitions are being scheduled in Salt Lake City, Utah and interested Pencak Silat school owners are welcome to inquire as to membership of their school(s) and participation of themselves and their students.
