Looking to find a silat teacher near you? Students of Inti Ombak have spread to different corners of the United States, Indonesia and the rest of the world to form branches of their own. Those with public facing presences are listed below.
In honoring the spirit of persaudaraan (fellowship, brotherhood), I have also listed schools representing the extended network of martial arts teachers and friends that have been kind enough to share their knowledge with me and my colleagues.
Note: In browsing the listings below, the word Guru may look odd to western audiences. In Indonesian Guru means “teacher” and does not necessarily imply a title of spiritual or religious leader. Other common titles of respect seen in the pencak silat world include Cikgu, Kang and Abang. Sifu is commonly used in Chinese martial arts while Guro in Filipino martial arts.
