Posted by simon on 10/19/2006, 5:16 am, in reply to "Re: Traditional Pencak Silat Cimande Girang Walisongo" Jurus Kelid Cimande ( dodging techniques) : jurus (moves) of Cimande is devided into : 33 Kelid (dodging)duduk (sitting) and berdin(standing) Cimande, 17 Pepedangan ( wepons ) Cimande Kelid and Pepedangan are self defense techniques. We can see that the dodging techniques is stressing on the hands as source of power/strength. These moves are the core moves which is meant for blocking and knocking down of an opponent. In all, the Jurus Kelid looks somewhat unique compared to other styles. This is usually done in pairs by sitting position, two facing each other, with both legs folded. Sparring partners performing strikes and defense in sitting position. Purpose of this training is to develop one's imagination and visualization skills to figure out and decide which stance and moves are proper to be used in a standing position. If hand moves are mastered, the proper stance to use can easily be determined. The jurus kelid contain the self defense unarmed and against allsorts of bladed weapons techniques of cimande all the jurus are trained in pairs whilst in a seated cross legged position , this evolved from the practice of training after prayers in the dargah . Seated in pairs, students practice alternately attacking and defending, in all jurus contact is made between the forearms in order to condition them. After the students have mastered the jurus duduk sitting and strengthened their forearms, they begin practicing the jurus in conjunction with standing at differing levels of height of stances beridin and step patterns langkahs. Cimande jurus are also inspired from the routines of everyday life as found in traditional sundanese kampongs. Just as natural phenomena are believed to reflect universal laws, so human culture also reflects universal generative principles. As the fundamentals and principles of cimande jurus are contained within the practice of everyday life, instinctively all humans possess cimande techniques and is practiced by everyone unknowingly. As the names of some of the jurus reflect natural everyday body movements ie batekan and guraran etc! The ability to look after oneself is given by god to every creature, whereas martial arts is a creation of humans ordained by Allah. This pure form of cimande does not contain any animal forms and oral tradition holds that its founder Sultan hassanudin created the jurus after he performed night prayers tahajud ascetism and and isitikarah to seek guidance from god ,he received inspiration to develop jurus entirely based on Alif and Lam characters of the Wholly Arabic alphabet. According to sufi perspective the quran is directly associated with the human body and expresses all the possible correspondences between micro and macro cosmos. The movements act as a mystic vocabulary, by moving in a manner that reflects the divine word as it is ultimately only Allah who moves us – usik malik anging allah nu marengkeun. Cimande silat is not choreographed techniques but they include esthetic. Its more techniques made from learning the body and all his possibilities in attack or defense .cimande is the human style in silat when many others are animal’s styles. cimande is a strictly Human style. Silat cimande is not strictly physical because it has been made with the philosophy of Islam. Any moves and steps have been made by the help of the quran and its mystic’s saints. We are Humans and not animals so we move like humans and not like animals. You can reproduce the jump of a tiger but you will never jump like it does, you can move like a bat but you will never fly, you can act like a monkey but you still have different moves than them because your bodies have been made differently by the creator. A human style, like cimande has been created and made with the proper moves of humans and divine inspiration. No animals can walk like us or move the body like we can. Original Cimande Silat is not merely of fixed and conventional styles dipicted from the wild animals way of fighting but it is developed in such a manner, as to overcome the attacks of wild animals namely tigers, jaguars and even elephants, by implementing divinely inspired movements jurusans. Tonjok forming fist In the finals refinements of Cimande the art of pinpoint precision striking was developed to a very high degree. Even in the Juru’s of Cimande deal with knife defences and that deal with knife attacks. The concept is simple but brilliant! juru’s come into play that teach knife offences. Both forward and reverse grips are utilizes. A person who is confident and assumes the Cimande on guard knife position is less likely to even be attack than most other ready positions. In relation to a knife attack. when you are one with God, God is one with you, and that is the ultimate protection. This condition of being one with God is ultimately what the silat practitioner aims to achieve. Then (s)he has boundless energy as (s)he is one with the energy that makes the universe exist. According to the contemporary definition of pencak silat the art must have a spiritual aspect. Without God it can't be silat. silat is about winning fights but remember the ideal is to to win without humiliating (putting down). There are different levels of winning a fight using silat the highest being without a fight and your opponent becomes enlightened like the way Muhammad SAW conquered Makkah. The highest level of true knowledge is of bringing to life not of killing. One might fight once, twice, a hundred times in one's life but most of the time one is breathing, eating, sleeping, working, making love, praying and just doing simple everyday things. Silat should make you a winner in all these everyday activities not only in fighting a human attacker. Traditional silat aims to survive and ultimately lays everything in God's Hands. Only God and not silat can help you survive an attack with whatever weapon. However God has made available proper silat training in the physical and the spiritual so we should make use of this Blessing.
