Maphilindo Silat

Maphilindo Silat is the compilation of all of the various systems of Silat that Guro Dan Inosanto studied under masters from Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

Like Filipino Kali, Maphilindo Silat is a street fighting art. It was designed to engage and eliminate opponents aggressively and quickly, while maintaining fluid movement to move effectively from one opponent the other in a confrontation. This program teaches you to use the whole body as a weapon, but you can also improvise and use pens, scarves, small flash lights and even keys as unorthodox weapons.

Guro Dan Inosanto created Maphilindo Silat to honor various instructors of Silat he trained under and to showcase the unique strengths and insights that they’ve passed on to him.
