Instructor Bio:
The two met in Cheltenham, England, where they were both students. It was the start of a lifelong relationship - and a lifelong study for Chris.
Over the years, Chris developed his own approach to sharing the art, which Bapak named Silat Fitrah.
Whilst the martial aspects of Silat Fitrah focus on the use of blades and the threat of multiple opponents, Chris has always prioritised an holistic approach to his training, referring to what he teaches as a Life Art.
Chris’s most senior student, Guru Eddie Quinn, has been training with him for over 27 years and is the lineage holder to the art. It was Guru Eddie who, in 2019, finally persuaded Chris to help him bring the art to a wider audience.
In conjunction with his study of Pencak Silat, Chris has been practising meditation on a daily basis since the late 1970’s. This, too, was inspired by Bapak Idris.
In the 1980’s Chris researched a wide range of different breathing practises and incorporated some of these into his personal training. This interrelated mix of Silat, meditation and breathing has influenced every aspect of Chris’s life and continues to be a source of great learning.
In his professional life, Chris has spent over four decades studying and teaching interpersonal and intra-personal communication and influence. He is a highly experienced academic, teacher, trainer, career coach and hypnotherapist. Chris is also a novelist, poet, biographer, writer of non-fiction and no.1 Amazon bestselling author.
