I strongly advise you check out his school. He and Rich Draney (an instructor in his system) have been the best instructors I have had anywhere.

Sid ------------------------------ From: WEE Shin Hoe Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2000 15:13:01 +0800 Subject: eskrima: Re: Maha Guru I would like to clarify that my earlier reply on the subject does not imply any disrespect to Maha Guru Nathan Defensor. In my opinion, he is one of the few that do deserve the Maha Guru title by founding an effective fighting system. The words Maha Guro do come from Sanskrit. If you study the early history of South East Asia, most the countries here are heavily influenced by Hindu culture before the advance of Islam. In fact, you can still see hints of Hindu influence in Bali and Thailand. The Malay language, either Bahasa Malaysia or Bahasa Indonesia, borrows heavily from both Sanskrit and Abrabic. However, Maha Guru is not a title to be given lightly, only the founder of a system or "Teacher of teachers" uses the title. One does not declare himself as Maha Guru unless he is the head of the system. As most of the Silat systems here are quite old. Out of respect to their system's long deceased original founder, most of the current head of a system here avoid using the title Maha Guru. Sincerely, S. H.

Some people have died from the bombings, but we are still far from being a war zone. Common sense prevails, as it does everywhere else. MM isn't any different from any other large city, just have to keep your wits about you. Double check the penalty for drugs, if you are convicted of dealing, the penalty is DEATH, not life. Will be happy to answer questions for people coming over, for as long as they're serious in nature.
