What is the deal with Harimau groundfighting? I know it is a Pencak Silat System from Sumatra. My concern is, is it a certifiable system of groundfighting for the street. Also, what techniques does it utilize (ie. the guard or subs).
My reason for the question is that I have no access to a BJJ school until April. I would like to be able to train until then and there is a school close to me that teaches Harimau. When I asked the guy if he teaches Groundfighting, he said yes but I am concerned and intrigued about this style.
Thanks Ed
Post this same question over on the JKD forum I'd almost guarantee someone over there would have some info for you.
If you haven't done this already.
I have no other help for you mang.
Ed-
If you are looking for something similar to BJJ, or something that will mesh with later study of BJJ, you will probably be disappointed with Harimau. I'm not making any judgments about Harimau when I say that, I'm just saying that they're completely different.
