The Malaysian Martial Heritage

Pesilat bukan Melayu-Islam bisa punyai ilmu batin? Can non Malay-non Moslem silat exponents exhibit spiritual fighting powers?

There is overwhelming evidence about 'ilmu batin' moves in silat.
In fact different pencak silat may have different ilmu batin (spiritual inner powers, if you like). But let's face it. The majority of the spiritual power experts of silat were and still are within the Malay Archipelago (in silat circle I mean). Invariably, they are from Malay States, Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore and Thailand...

Why is this so? Can a silat exponent say in Netherlands do moves that are 'typical of jurus batin' for example? I suppose they (non Moslems silat exponent) can as well, but may we see some philosophical reasoning that the so called 'jurus batin' are not exclusive only to the states I mentioned earlier ie. not exclusive to Moslems or Malays or Indonesians alone.... the ultimate proof being non other than a cool demonstrative video clip.

Allow me to be direct, lest we go off tangent.
Can anyone share a video clip showing a caucasian silat exponent execute 'such' move?

Best regards and Be safe

By "jurus batin" do you mean to strike at someone from a distance, and without physically touching him?

Well personally i wouldn't say it originates, is unique to, belongs to, nor is it being propelled by members of the Malay Archipelago.. so much so the folks of the Malay Archipelago being the "spiritual power experts"..

The ancient chinese already have the non touch hitting stunts going on prior to the formation of the Malay race as you know it now. Look up the term Krachtology and do some research you'll see that the jurus batin may have even been practised before the the ancient chinese Warring Period,.(may be Iskandar Zulkarnain perod?)... so i wouldn't recommend you take this discussion outside this forum so as to not have you being 'attacked' by certain sectors of the netizens.

my 2 cents worth...
