Applications from Jurus 1 and 2

Guru Tua Chris Parker Presents

This unique film, not originally meant for release in this format, combines 11 short lessons that Guru Tua Chris and I filmed years ago, providing over an hour of detailed instruction in the nature and application of the opening sequences to both Jurus 1 and 2. As ever, Guru Tua combines great martial arts instruction with thoughts and suggestions about how we can apply martial principles to enhance our everyday lives.

Content includes:

  •  The opening moves of Jurus 1 and 2


  • How to use elbow strikes to attack incoming punches.


  • Ways of redirecting and/or condensing your opponent’s body.


  •  Ways of combination hitting.


  • How to combine strikes with ‘wraps’ and ‘wrenches’.


  •  How – and why - to cover and hit simultaneously.


  •  Time and space management – how to ‘start before your opponent starts’ and the importance of using peripheral vision.


  •  How to be hard to hit, whilst hitting hard.


  • Applying the principle of ‘No passive movement’.


  • Incorporating foot-pins into your upper body striking.


  • Pre-emptive strikes.


  • Hitting on different ‘lines’, and how to use your body to maximum effect.

Instructor Bio:

Chris Parker began training in Silat under the guidance of Bapak Hj Idris bin Alimuda in 1976, when the two met in Cheltenham, England.

As a direct result of Bapak’s influence, Chris started a daily meditation practice in the same year. His experiences with Bapak also inspired him to begin learning about communication and influence. This, too, turned into a lifelong activity.

Controlled breathing exercises were added to his daily routine in the mid 1980s. The initial motivation for this was illness, rather than the inspiration of an exemplary teacher.

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.

This interrelated mix of meditation, controlled breathing and Silat influences every aspect of Chris’s life and continues to be a source of great learning.

Currently, he enjoys the great pleasure of teaching the Silat Fitrah Learning Community alongside two wonderful and talented individuals: Guru Eddie Quinn, the lineage holder to the art, and Guru Katherine Hill.
