Surayadi "Eddie" Jafri is the Pendekar of P. Greg Alland. His style of Pentjak Silat is Pangian Lima Empat and Pera Taki Sendo. Pangian (soft "g") Lima Empat means "Four Stepping", a system based on the four corners of a square but combines elements of the circle, triangle, and square.
This tape starts with a demonstration of a basic form demonstrated by Jafri with Greg Alland as narrator. The viewer is later taught the form at slow speed. This form is unique in that small pieces of tape are place on the floor to describe the footwork.
Two drills, Positive/Negative hitting, footwork, and blade defense technique come next. The application of the footwork, a defense against a front kick, and four defenses against a straight punch are shown.
A brief defense against 2 opponents is followed by silat takedowns (14) against empty hand and two knife attacks. Hair pulls, tie ups,locks, nerve holds, vital point hits are shown.
The next section covers footwork, Silat's version of punching (similar to Wing Chun), the double circle parry, chops and elbow hits. At this time, Allan joins the seminar and "learns and demonstrates" the techniques.
The last section is unique, it shows the application of grabbing practice: to take a man's knife from his waistband (crossdraw carry) and stab him with it before he does it to you.
The sound quality is okay, the technique replay is minimal and done to Indonesian music. I happened to like the last section as it was unique.
