MY BIGGEST INFLUENCE. By the magus of Denver.

Non more and non better was Howard Cosell perhaps my greatest influencing factor for getting me in trouble and really never a problematic issue for me  writing the truth to serve consequences. I knew when I begun to start writing in the past years, in what I was in for, and yet, was continuous irritating many others and ex students for me as no wasted time for my therapeutics writing any issues. All to consider like exercising, training and practicing. I was a long time follower as a reader of the most disliked, and at the same time most sought after  American broadcaster and show host,(the best liked by me) --the well known Howard William Cohen (Cosell) --was an overnight success for  ABC Monday Night's. .Graduated in 1940.
  Howard William Cohen, was born in 1918, and died in 1995. Studied Law at the New York University; followed up his parents wishes. His main interest was rather as a Newspaper reporter. Despite his arrogance, negativity in responses of aggravating many, in the sport world was at the same time equally balanced with his intelligence. He was the most sought after in sport journalism, and became a known successful show host for ABC. He was a vocal supporter for Mohammed Ali during Ali's difficult times, when America's greatest heavy weight was denied his World title of championship. Howard Cossel made as an  American sport writer, a great tribute for accurate descriptive writing; made him the most sought after by others in the field of recorded sports.  He had served as a major in the US Army, and in charge of the supply depots, on  D-Day, leading to Battle at the Bulge. To me, Howard Cosell was always sincere honest, and like Mark Twain in years before him was a great contributor to spice up our American English. Except Mark Twin was highly honored by the rector and scholars of the Oxford University, in Great Britain, a scholar in English.
  Now to  my point of impact to share my evaluation for truth -- as a necessity for me to remark. But need to deeply consider any situation for the personalities in people. Main individual was Paul's younger brother, who always had denied Paul his teacher. Because lust to greedy by expansion was his main purpose for his denial. Anyone who denies a teacher who taught him, was never a good recommendable friend associate. Rather have an enemy for a friend.
  Then here we have the termite of a sick poppy, an ex student by the name of Steve Douglas Gartin who claimed actually more than he could bring to his accountability in martial practice. He was mostly behind the camera for his fabrication of bad products for his martial videos. The best he ever could show regarding techniques and martial expression came from the very little I taught him. Many who had known me for years, and the best of viewers can always count my blessing - are my best trained, and impossible to fool them.
  Suddenly this same sick poppy wend over to another sickening master of the would be traditional kun tao from Bandung. For an actual grip for disaster could only show his practice mainly in the Iron Skin Body training of Ci mande, and karate and made up his forms. The sick poppy immediately claimed him the successor from the Sickening Master kun tao from Bandung. Without a longevity of training the master's system --knew only to brag and claim. His main reason for denying me his biggest influence was for his greed to expansion to be over me. But there are also many who really knew my system, and  could easy observe that in whatever the sick poppy tries to portray for showing his something new art --that the best of his practice can better be placed in the hands of my lowest rank student. In a move by move, and in any martial expression was any of my influences his greatest asset he never like to claim it came from me. Steve Gartin may step on the floor, and in front of my well trained instructors, and myself can show his best martial knowledge --and for every move or technique can easy direct his best practice a leading glue to my worse effort. His best in practice can only lead to the lowest in practice by a beginner student in my system. in fact most trained under Steve Gartin find many of my lowest influences on the spirit of their practice. Even when they try to reverse the little of my teaching with them, can only be the very best the American kun tao silat is able to share is my worse in their training  and in practice.
  Victor claimed Mar Djoekie, and Steve Gartin Bill Chang or U Un Suraya or Theo Tjong Oen. Who I had introduced to the martial community in Colorado, and whom I fought in my basement of my old farm house, in Colorado was also observed by my oldest student, The fight between the maestro from Bandung, and myself was just like training in receiving  body slaps from each other. It had never damaged me or hurt me, but in return left behind on the man from Bandung, his constant staggering and continuous flow in suffering of severity in headaches. I felt good about that, and happy the sick poppy of a Steve Gartin claimed the same master his teacher. But than how come always holding on to me, and not that Bill Chang fellow?  What is the reason of Gartin still liking to be part of my system, he was learning less --as I taught him my minimum wasted time?  He is deserving in what he had provoked on the receiver's end.  So Gartin and Victor a same good trio together and in the same whiners social club of kun tao and silat.  I rather have my true enemies beside me, than any of these two men as friend associates.
  The worse of my practice, became the best of showing under the leadership of Steve Douglas Gartin and all his followers who are his students. My reason for looking down in my esteem of observation on all the practitioners of the American kun tao silat --are exploiters and bad imitators. Try to proof me wrong, and I will show, (thoroughly) a true opposite. I still run circles even at my age of 81 on the soul in spirit and in practice over all, under Steve Gartin and Gartin him self by disproving their fabricated lies. I am open, and my floor in my backroom in Thornton is an open floor for mortal or physical combat for any of them to counter my presence..{ SO COME TO PAPA, AND I WILL CLEAN THE FLOOR WITH YOUR A****. DON'T BE A P**** WILLOW --BUT BE A REAL MAN?} I am still full of piss in vinegar as clearly stated. In what you had provoked to insult me, was for me just a response of my dispersed clarification.
 { So Victor and Steve, some stingy croquettes together in lust for more money}
Tomorrow my shopping time for my Christmas dinner with my wife. Wishing all my best in wishes for a merry Christmas and a healthy new year.  I love to encourage all my loyal and devoted devotees as disciples in my system for their continuity in healthy practice to better their excellence. I shared them more of my knowledge, and will continuously do so. My best to GM De Bordes. Dr Andre & Hans Knutskraichen, and the van der Groen family, and followers. They are my only martial associated friends in the Dutch Indo community. There are also more others of my caring in thought and in feeling.  Will write in the near future regarding their martial background, and influences what had enriched my practice. They are of the generation before me. My true statement.
Be good to anyone, only when better deeds are favoring my returns. Only my circle of friends are important.

PEACE AT LAST. By the magus of Denver.

   Finally after having removed many, also deeply with disregard "booted" out directly off my silat tv web side - Steve Gartin, and many of his followers and many others not really serving me, and my associated friends and devoted students any intended service as a silat community had always been their own self servers. Several of them had always interrupted, and had provoked insultingly slurs by bad mouthing me the most, and others who are my top rated practitioners. I knew them all, with the exception for some of those out the same idiotic circle for any justifiable practice of silat or kun tao. For sure their badly practiced leader, the corrupted liar and fake had misled all his followers by corrupting them through his stupid guru program; for them was easy to achieve any rank. Gartin him self was always behind a camera, and just like the late Bob Orlando; had done some practice at one time or another, were training under me -- as short endured practiced students. I respected Bob Orlando over Steve Gartin, and Chaster Clement with their falsified marketing schemes had taken from me the many things they never had ever earned to claim.  Guru Orlando regardless of any discomforting situation through misunderstanding between us, had always honored me and respected me. Steve Gartin and Chaster Clements were just the two ugly white men thinking to own my soul and system; but I had ended with them long time ago and found my rewarded studies of them quite interesting. They always find pleasure to rant me, and often had irritated me with their self illusion of disgraceful thinkers with the know it all addicted ill faded poppies. To much the pot smoking junkies for associates.  For the long years I had known these two unworthy a*******, found them the worse of idiots i ever had associated my self with.. Gartin always ranting off for never to be captured alive, after being released by the authorities may make those claims anytime to convince many of his followers. But for a check of realism was Gartin like a poppy dog when arrested. Claimed always that they were scared for him from judges to many others could be only a silat bully with Clements alike. My true feeling on these two stupid characters can easy be digested that never to worry about them, and face them straight on. There are others I had trained could easy clean their a**** in seconds. I would not restrain myself from doing my good deeds for being an attacker when any of these two a******* when sided in my backroom. Arthur Kidwell another a****** under the Gartin's smelly glamour may come and be a participant for me to accommodate this a******'s rank as a guru muda to end up by letting him feel the institution of my pleasure --that he is just a piece of s*** in need for more real training in silat or kun tao; instead of the cow town silat or kun tao he had learned to achieve from Gartin.   The man Gartin, a cheat and a fake and an badly practiced imitator of my system could only relate his experience from behind a camera.  Then there is a Ma Ha guru in the humanistic deformed under mental stress, (Aric Flour) given the rank as issued by this Gartin incorporated made it may pleasuring endeavor to write even more for my crusade of justice. A Ma Ha Guru as unskilled in kun tao and silat, and always shooting out his mouthy experience for his training and unable to fight him self out a grocery's paper bag could only show the unreal training received under Gartin. No wonder Gartin was able to gain many of those lazy people for practitioners of gaining easy a ranked title. ( It is a self inflicted wound for experience).  Non of Gartin's incorporated students in following could fight them self out of a real situation. Why to me will the American Kun Tao Silat always be the biggest laughter for my entertainment to succeed non of my expectation for being any good. The list with their names as great and excellent practitioners could only show that they were trained and taught by a blind leader considering himself a superior being with his floppy disk mouthy expression always trying to humiliate me with his YOUTUBE adventuresome disposition of his loosely lips expression.  Would be hard for Gartin by succeeding his false pretend for an intend --there are to many on my side and far exceeding his following in numbers. Gartin's best will bite the dust against my lowest trained student. This is the situation Steve Gartin had created for him self is for me just to expand my horizon for more of my writing in therapeutics. I enjoy sharing my true feeling with my friends and students to decline and dismiss all the claims of Steve Gartin and all his lies. Well for sure always is smoking bad weeds for his bad illusions. He still in his copying h*** and waiting for his outer space father to come to invade the world with troops out of outer space. Flying objects are coming with enormous speed to knock us out of our chairs when Gartin's outer space allies come to rule the world. Perhaps than could Gartin be the next governor of New Mexico. With his Cow Town kun tao or silat for an unimaginative true exposure by taking away his actual knowledge for having learned his real practice of a de Thouars art. Gartin just did asked  for me to be responsive, and I will continuously do so. This little worm for an ex student always try to be a superior a****** over me. Guess what he has a longer way to reach my level for just being myself. He has nothing to compare with but just his loosely lips to express his feeling of no contend.  A rant and ugly white ex student imagining himself a supreme well practiced kun tao or silat exponent was always merely a raw beginner needed to create his boom cow town kun tao for kempo, and silat for what ever he was able to digest his comfort.
Peace finally came to eased my spirit and soul. Why Gartin? Others just bored me to death for writing about them.  For my therapeutics is Gartin and Clement my best to endorsed.
Before Christmas will write another beefy stew column for sharing my enthusiasm in writing.

MY ASSORTED ASSESSMENT. By the magus of Denver.

I like to make sure that in what I am writing is purely the truth, and like to share my experience and feeling, (thoroughly) with my most loyal, devoted and steady in growth of practitioners and martial associated friends --were with me for many years. Over the years I taught many, and from the many needed to remove also many others, who i had taught with a minimum of my wasted time, for having taught nothing to them. They thought to have mastered my system, through false imitation and by a source of their thinking to know everything I had to offer. I never had tried to mislead them; but by studying them, also knew their false pride and intend. I said nothing by remaining to keep my silence; but wend further by expediting my other and brighter resources in devoted loyal practitioners in followers. I taught them with more of my caring, and mostly, my maximum in effort by making them my best and well practiced exponent in decades of my laboring in efforts. So where also my true friends, as true friends to me, while others lost my interest in them. I was forced to remove many out my two web sides: the one I am writing from, and my two other webpages on Face Book.  I understand causing them to even in becoming me a most disliked teacher on the planet. The many I needed to remove were also individuals not really serving the good for any of my web sides. They were all self servers , and may never appear that way. For whatever the reason, just had to terminate them for good as no lost to me.
  First I wish to thank my webmasters: Dr conrado Bui, and guru Bilgrami for their patience with me, and still remain as the main administrators for any of the two information centers; the one on Face Book and for here on Silat TV.  I own them a large in gratitude, and wish them, and their families the very best for the coming holidays, and the very best for the New Year. Also guru Santiago Doblos for another web side for Face book he created for me to comment as freely.
  My heart goes also out to Mr Omar Hakim, and hereby wish to thank him  by allowing my web side to sustain and to float freely as I could express my true feeling in writing. I fully understand may not always find any approval by anyone; but it never had occurred  to me that the truth can never me misled by others. I wish Mr Hakim, and family my best for the holidays and a safe 2017 in health and in prosperity.
                                    MY MARTIAL EXPERIENCE.
  I was never ashamed for what I knew for my regard in fighting arts. The longest of all teachers I ever had trained under was for certain my father in law --who I met, here in America. I trained and studied under him for seven years; he taught me the many skills of old style Ci Mande, (under Raden Patman}, and also trained me in his family's Hakka Kun tao style. When I married his daughter, my wife now, I lived with him. Our training was continuous, and rugged and steep. My father in law made me his successor slightly before his passing, in July fourth, in 1971.  I am proud to set forth his lineage.
  I also finished my training in the Cheribon Serak, under guru Egmund, a German born native of Indonesia who trained and studied directly under Pak Serak the founder, in the late 1800's. Mr Egmund was in the 1970's, also my age for being in his 80's. He felt young as I feel young at heart NOW. I met him in Deli City, in Northern California - when my wife and I were working for the airlines and we were occupying an apartment , in Red Wood City, and was also reintroduced to de van der Groen family by guru Glenn Abrescy. I am glad to have met Edgar and Otto van der Groen, and became familiarized with the Imua shantung Kun tao. They were always my best of friends, in the Dutch Indo community. I cared less about others, and non of this was ever known to the whole Serak community, and my brothers that I had finished my studies in Serak. I met not long after many of the very best to excellent in the martial community of San Francisco, and was always informed and kept training and learning.  But remained my deep silence.
  In America I also have private studies for the very best of Chines martial arts masters, and even trained in the Tung Lung Tai under a predominant Chinese Hakka master, in America. My trained studies was on his kitchen floor, and weather permitting, his back yard. My learned and enhanced knowledge for knowing martial arts was on a continuous bases. I learned much and experienced a lot more.
  In Holland trained hard style old Japanese Ju Jitsu where falling and throwing was done on the brick stones of the asphalt jungle outside the comfort of a martial studio. I expanded even there my studies by going to Belgium, and was training European fencing. My studies was the main source for my foot placements more adequately.
  In Indonesia got my training mostly from the best of players, also calling them selves only players and never a guru or master -were also even better than masters. The street corners of cities was my real training ground. When it comes to blades was taught by the best, a butcher in guru Ta Ing, in East Java, and in Central Java learned from Mustafa, in the city of Pekalongan. My father who was always relocated to different places made it hard for me to learn for many years. In West Java was mostly my uncle Eddy de Vries from my mother's side a cousin, and the two teachers who taught me Pentjac Kendang silat under Pak Atjo and guru Sardjono. They taught me in Bandung. I grew up with the art Serak in my own family, since the beginning in going back to 1946. So I was well informed in the two Serak systems; the Serak Bandung and the Serak Cheribon. My three kun tao teachers taught me, my Hakka Kun tao out Tibet. The art started it beginning to involve from the large bodied man of the Shandong Valley.  In what i ever had studied to learn was always very good in excellence. Never forgetting uncle John de Vries. I shall always carry the spirit and souls of all my teachers, now long gone on the palm of my hands to remain just a simple old man with more practical skills.
  My relationship in friends are always with excellent gurus from Madura, and Surabaya. Some also in Central Java. Some in Holland, and not many. My lineage much more stronger than most for me never to retreat or be in fear. My skills are combined many of the practice back to the old Temple Boxing School of the Wild Boar system of China --the Wutang. temple.
  OTHERS MAY CLAIM OR DO WHATEVER OTHERS LIKE TO DO, I REMAIN JUST THE SIMPLE OLD MAN OF IN WHO AM I REALLY.  My peace is always lastingly, and just.
WISHING ALL MY DEVOTED PRACTITIONERS. THEIR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES AND MY MARTIAL ASSOCIATED FRIENDS AND THEIR FAMILIES A PEACEFUL AND VERY BEST FOR THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS AND THE NEW YEAR.
By Oom Willem de Thouars, the magus of Denver.

TO ALL. By the magus of Denver.

Most unfortunate that I needed to remove many of the unwanted members off my silat tv , and face book web side.Not with any of my regrets. This, I needed to remove had for years been against me, my family, and were exploited my system to make profit to self serving them. They were leeches, termites and individuals who were very low esteem, made the biggest of claims and were for my years of experiencing them --the worse as students, and many also the worse as ex associated martial friends. And several still are making money of my name, and at the same time fully underestimating my better judgement. The best thing to do with those not serving any intend for any good purpose in finding harmony, and in peace is to remove them. They had created many of the disharmony to harm my reputation as a teacher, mentor and long years of the practice in old school silat and old hand kun tao. I am not apologetic for any of my stiff actions by removing those parasites out my environment --socially or on any of my other web sides.
  I know most of you, who joined me, on both of my web sides are for sure the most of welcoming additions to be fruitful and be the contributing factors as the best of individuals who serve together the greater reason to be with me together as a family orientated group of people. We, together are here to serve the better intend of sharing our martial experience with the many others good souls for the same nature to conduct good friendship relation with each other and the world. And for others, unfamiliar to me, and with any good intend --I welcome you for joining me.
  Most unfortunate, and never without any of my regrets that I needed to write many articles in commentaries was totally in defense of my self, and for letting the world know to watch out for bad merchandisers with false intend of making money off the sweat of others. They will always try to destroy my family's reputation, are constant and badly through other sources trying always  for underestimating me, my long years of hard laboring efforts with their intend of humiliating in trying to destroying me. Which is impossible for them to do since my martial expeditions despite those setbacks endeavor the best in growth. Many are still keeping me busy for my years in skills I gained through hard work and in a long life of practice. By removing parasites was never any of my intend for keeping them around.
  For others who came to join are very welcome with their presence. They are my martial extended family out the kun tao silat school in Guadalajara. The group in that city, under Dr Mario Rainero were always one of the finest of my practitioners, I had trained them for many years. And still will be continuous to visit them, and share more of my accumulated martial skills with the several kun tao schools in Guadalajara.  I love and care for those great explicit practitioners in Scandinavia, and also many others in the United States and in other countries and happy to have them around. My most favored cities I always feel at home, are Stockholm, Oslo, New York and Guadalajara, and for sure my home town in Colorado.
  To all wishing you, and your families the very best for the Christmas Holidays, and the prosperity in health and in wealth for 2017. My caring in sharing will always be with you, as lastingly.

STILL CLEANING MY SHIP. By the magus of Denver.

 Most unfortunate but never my regret that I became in who I am today. The past was a historical martial expeditious experience for me to write continuously with no despair. The worse in what was the greatest set back of success, in our de Thouars family and in America was from the start a tragedy. The name de Thouars was shamed and slurred with mud to dirt the foot sole of the wanderer. The two brothers, mainly Paul and Victor had gone outraged, and were for years the cause that had stagnated by worsen any conceivable situation in finding harmony between brothers. Their drift to be the ruler of owning the penjac silat art of Serak made them the worse of enemies by hating each other. As years wend by was never a remedy of finding a peaceful solution among brothers. Brothers always fight as usual. But with Paul and Victor made them selves known throughout the world, and everyone in every martial community was fully aware of the constant infighting in hateful expansion by fueling their constant infighting - it brought shame on the good name and reputation of my parents. All because of a martial practice, that Paul was the greatest exponent to introduce the real practice of Pentjac silat Serak in the United States. Victor was then, and in my deep consideration could never have been but a student of Paul de Thouars. The two brothers and their constant infighting in torching flame was also the greatest cause for me to part totally from the whole de Thouars family, in the United States of America, and found my appropriate place, as the middle brother by resorting in my total apartheid from the rest of the family. The two brothers brought shame, and mud smeared the name of my parents by discomforting  their good name --my father had striven so hard for through all his laboring effort to race us. The name de Thouars by inheritance means so much more than any martial art. Honor, devotion and preservation was always my very first endorsement to live by the code of honor for a tribute to our de Thouars name --with a long outstanding World History since the eleventh century, in the South of French. Gong back in thousand of years before, was our family impartial to the deep forest tribe of the Gauls, in the South of French. Our ancestors fought the Roman legions, under Julius Caesar.  VERCINGETORIX was long ago, and long before the Middle ages our FOREFATHER who was captured and enslaved by Julius Caesar. The battle then fought was more honorably then the (stupid) and childish infighting between Paul and Victor who brought much the shame and disharmony first among them selves and later created to worsen any conflicting interest between their students. Both legacies between the two brothers de Thouars remain a chaos to disgrace even the shield of honor. Something I never wish to be part of. 
  My rule of conduct became of the worse against my own blood family never with any restrain to fulfill the climax of my action.
1  ANY OF PAUL'S STUDENTS OR ASSOCIATED FRIENDS WILL IMMEDIATELY FIND MY APPROVAL BY REMOVING THEM OUT MY CIRCLES OR ANY LIVING ENVIRONMENT, I LIVE UNDER. WALTER VAN DER BROEKE IN EUROPE WAS ONE OF PAUL'S CREATED PRODUCTS FOR HIS GREEDY MARTIAL EXPANSION.
2. UNDER NO CONDITION WILL I EVER FIND ANY SOUND APPROVAL TO HAVE ANY EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT TO THE FAMILIES OF PAUL AND VICTOR DE THOUARS, AND TO ANY OF THEIR CORE OF STUDENTS IN ESSENCE OF PRINCIPALITY OR ANY RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM.
3. I WAS NEVER ON ANY FRIENDLY BASES WITH ANY OF THE TWO BROTHERS, AND HAD PARTED FROM THEM FOR MANY YEARS. WE WERE NEVER ONE FAMILY.
4. NON OF VICTOR'S STUDENTS WAS EVER ACKNOWLEDGED BY ME, AS A FAMILY OR IN VALUE OF PRACTICE. THEREFOR THEY TO ARE CONSIDERED BY ME, AS STRANGERS AND A CAUSE FOR ME TO TERMINATE ANY OF THEM FOREVER.
5. I NEVER NEEDED ANY OF PAUL'S OR VICTOR'S STUDENTS TO BE NEAR MY SIDE. I NEVER NEEDED ANY F THEM.
6. ANY OF MY EX STUDENTS AND EX MARTIAL ASSOCIATED FRIENDS AND THEIR FRIENDS WILL IMMEDIATELY BE REMOVED OUT MY CONTINGENCY OF MARTIAL OR SOCIAL EXISTENCE..
   WHY I AM VERY BUSY WITH NO RESTRAIN REMOVING MANY OFF MY TWO WEB SIDES, THE SILAT TV AND ON TWO OF MY FACEBOOK WEBPAGES.
   THE LIST FOR ME TO REMOVE MY UNWANTED INDIVIDUALS, AND THE AMERICAN KUN TAO SILAT IS STILL IN PROCESS FOR MY FURTHER REMOVAL. I NEVER BELIEVE IN DOING A HALF WAY JOB BUT A THOROUGH EXPLICITNESS FOR MY THERAPEUTIC FINGER EXERCISES ON MY KEY BOARD. a FULFILLMENT OF MY THERAPEUTIC THINKING CAPABILITY.
  TO ALL MY TRUE FRIENDS AND DEVOTED PRACTICING FOLLOWERS ALWAYS MY GRACE TO BE WITH YOU ALL MY TIME. I RESPECT YOU, TREASURE YOU AND HONOR YOU WITH NEVER A RESTRAIN BUT TO GLOW IN PASSIONATE PASTURES.
 My enemies from blood family to outsiders made me in what I needed to become to restore the trust and honor of my family de Thouars name.

  IT COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT. 
   In so many ways could things have been different for us, as brothers and in the de Thouars family, in America. The biggest recess for a set back was a greed of martial expansion, in who got the biggest share to claim for knowing all the secrets of Pentjac silat Serak of the Dutch Indo side. Respectfully I give credit much to Paul de Thouars for his introduction of the art, and later on Victor came after Paul for teaching serak of the same family nature to Dan Inosanto.  Paul got many students from Dan, and begun his further martial expansion for sharing the art. Later on in time, Paul created Bukti Negara another word for the same meaningful description to shower off the older Bakti Negara. Bukti and Bakti means actually of the same source, it means in the old language as an evidence of a continent or country.  Bakti revised later on of serving a country with a sound purpose to be noticed. Bukti Negara based its essence since the beginning out of a combination between techniques out of Jimmy's H Woo San Soo kung fu, and Serak. Commendable to my assessment that Bukti was a devised idea that came from the founder of the system; who had meditated upon the idea that it came through a vision from God. ( Doubtful to my comprehensive knowledge for its true origin?) The biggest error from where the most deficient agreement began to sprung out in severe escalation was later on in time between the two brothers. From disagreement to hateful expansion. There were many articles written, and even claimed by the youngest brother himself --that Paul by his own admission was his only teacher who taught him. For me who really knew the whole family's background in history found my resentment for years to substitute an agreement in the place of a bad jungle book story --so prone to masters in the Dutch Indo community that all who ever had trained under any of the gurus created an environment for a fantasy or funny farm. Something I never or ever had belonged to for endeavoring the misplaced ideology for a true in realism to render a real honest service.
  The art Pentjac Silat Serak or Poekoelan Pentjac silat Serak are no different when considering the true meaning for the actions in combat. Perhaps could only enthused some for making any issue by serving more the interest of the general public, thoroughly by disorientating them for a real meaning in describing the combative art of Serak as a two folded system. What made me, for knowing the real history of the art, and in practice the only one in the family of considering myself a tukang mentjac silat Serak, instead of a tukang pentjac silat Serak. The difference is largely imposed between mentjac and pentjac.
  My martial historical past is now serving the endeavor of my realistic truth, that things could have been different for us, the three brothers de Thouars through a combined effort by expanding our ideas and teaching in a more coordinated value in  sharing together the same family art in a combined effort.  By allowing each other a better breathing ground to prosper as one family. Also greatly lacking between the two brothers was their greater lack of social studies, and larger format in finding a dialogue in better communication. Is impossible to even talk to Paul or Victor to find a good reason for establishing a more appropriate conversation unless any of the two brothers maintain their top in glory. They were always very indulging as being their own top of the cream by underrating others and in what I had to experience for many years. In fact, I grew up with Serak, and also always knew the practice of Serak.
  The shame brought upon the surface by dishonoring my parents, and their good name was the major cause for me to totally separate from the two brothers, and their families.  It was sickening to me for having to experience all the students under Paul or Victor, in following the nature of bad common sense liking to be in charge with the likes of any of the two brothers. Why there is a big difference between my devotion in following, in explicitness to be humble, honest and only know in how to act distinguished and more with a larger scale of a wider ranged for an open heart. Skills are just merely the productivity of an appropriate display for practice. As I saw them all, from past to present was my choice a better one.
  I will teach and share the true and sincere combative skills of Serak through my own years of comprehensive studies, and also share the right prospective by combining the quality of Serak for the internal and external practice of the art in value.  These two very important elements were largely lacking in the two de Thouars brothers, who only knew the external aspect in practice. They never had trained the internal arts.
  In meanwhile my schedules start to fill up for 2017, and my devoted and most excellent and dedicated legends for leaders keep me very busy and on my toes. I still travel a lot despite the idea for me not knowing Serak as was claimed by Paul and victor by always underrating me for my skills. In reality that they could have learn a lot me from me, with my longer studies of comprehension.
   In closing were my efforts always well regarded and rewarded for my truth and history never a denial.
Again I thank deeply all my dedicated and loyal practitioners so well practiced and fully with spice and season. I taught them well to humbly be well in practice and in health.

  WHEN EVERYTHING IS RELIED ON A MARTIAL PRACTICE.
  Most I knew in Serak or silat are to deeply concentrated on the system they practice. I have been a total of seventy years a martial student, teacher and practitioner. During my years of studies, training and experience combat in the streets found my best reliability on common sense; some in the practice but most is through a conceptional believe of instant reflections on the speedy actions of an opponent, by crushing an opponent through reactive countering him, while an opponent is thinking in how to defeat you. (Courting my thinking, in what Napoleon was observing during his actions in 1805, in Motavia, against an overwhelming force of Russian and Austrian allies, and even Prussia my had joined the anti - French coalation. Napoleon's instinct was to persue the annihilation of his enemy's forces despite his marshall's arguments for a prudent withdrawl.  WHATEVER AN OPPONENT IS THINKING, ALWAYS BE THE UNDERDOG TO SUBMIT; BUT IN REALITY BE PREPARED AN SURPRISING  FORCEFULLY AN  ATTACK TO COUNTER HIM, BY ATTACKING HIM FIRST BEFORE HE GETS TO YOU. During a course of battle to overcome an opponent who relays on set patterns --makes fencing and boxing the most excellent martial art for combat in realism. CHARGE, RETREAT AND MOVE IN CONTINUOUS BY INSTANT.
  Here is on Julius Caesar War Commentaries on Caesar: { IT IS A DISPUTABLE POINT, WHICH THE MORE REMARKABLE WHEN , HE WENT TO WAR, HIS CAUTION OR HIS DARING - SOMETIMES HE FOUGHT AFTER CAREFUL TACTICAL PLANNING; SOMETIMES ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT - AT THE END OF A MARCH, OFTEN, OR IN MISERABLE WEATHER WHEN HE WOULD BE THE LEAST EXPECTED TO MAKE A MOVE}
  Again, I am reading Caesar's War Commentaries nearly every day, like someone would read the bible. I care less in defeat or winning, only main source of interest is in how to overcome any situation in battle by instant reflection of speedy countering a counter. The mind dictates, and the body impulse the action. Why I never fear anyone, regardless of styles since I too had nourished my self the understanding of combat through field studies in the street with many styles of my own. I DON'T WEAR A SARONG, NEVER A UNIFORM, LOWER MY SELF TO ALL MODESTY, NEVER UNDERESTIMATE SOMEONE BUT OBSERVE HIS DOINGS. I HAVE NO RANK, I ONLY CREATE FOR MY STUDENTS AND BE JUST A TUKANG PUKUL OR TUKANG MENTJAC. Simplicity is the best of practicality. In combat just a demon deeply rooted within. Why never to win or never to loose. Only capture a thought to wrinkle.
  Why my serak is composed out of different elements in components out many silat and kun tao styles. Iron skin of body enhancement is the number one defense; and immediate responses to quick motions; let an opponent underestimate me the best - will be met of me underrating him with my many surprises.
  Paul would had come for the onslaught if he accepted my challenge when alive. Very sad to make a relationship of being boxed in or in a free spirit full of surprises. I knew his whole system, and knew his combative attitude. His students threatening me to come, and fight me, here in Colorado that they too came in to find only their failure combating me. With no restrained of myself, and in defense of my self in the aspect of my full right. I still have the three telephone numbers they submitted to me, at the beginning with my  endorsement. Why I don't want them around me, and I never had liked any of Paul's students in no matter how good they are. My fist in fury is steeled.
COME TO PAPA IN MY BACKROOM, AND YOU WILL FEEL THE DIFFERENCE IN SERAK FOR MY PRACTICE OF DELIGHT. I can't forget, and will never forget. Be only good to the ones you really care for.  AMEN.

REMINISCING MY PAST. By the magus of Denver.

 In regard of feeling is hard to describe my inner soul. The past, was my best times upon which I excelled my study purposes of knowing my ex students; it was a miracle that I could measure my assessment in who to keep, and in who to terminate. Well I terminated many, and with the most of pleasure to have gotten rid of assholes who were thumb suckers for willing to learn students. The group in Reynosa, on the Texas border of Mexico were the bunch, under Luz Pena Cavaroz and all his following my greatest of pleasure to expelled them out my unlimited resources --where there are no boundaries for me to limit my self by swift kicking out individuals useless to me  in the corn fields of no return. They lacked total comprehensive understanding of my Dutch Indo Corsican French, blood heritage in my blood line, also totally were listening with deaf ears for a cooperation in finding any common sense. They had an intend, and so did I. I am glad they long gone for me to reminiscing my writing in sharing the disperity of my thinking to serve my point in viewing. IDAC kun tao to my knowledge of experiencing them could only relate to kempo, and karate and never to the old hand kun tao, as practiced before the Second WW times period in Indonesia, then and formerly the Dutch East Indies. They are with the whining social clubs, like many of the rest of my ex students.
  For the many I taught of many now no longer with me, were the biggest consumers of energy individuals like Steve Doulgas Gartin, Chaster Clement, (p**** willow) George Morin, Randel Goodwin, Curtis Goodwin, Joseph Bronson, Rodney Fernandez, Steve Corley, West Tasker, Joe Judt, Roberto Torres , and there were many many others who actually were the big braggers and thumb sucking  idiots for showing off their booty skills as no one to compare with. They were my best for academic studies for showing off their unwilling to learn enthusiasm for real training caused me to disband the whole group.. They held me stupid by underrating my common sense. I had replaced them all with the most efficient and better educated and most excellent orientated learners   The more the assholes for ex  assorted their thinking for their discussions; the more I expanded my thinking to a higher level in finding a stable ground to rule my intend. I am now where I am now, all over the world with no regret in feeling for having non of them around. Let them stay in their whiners social club to drink their fully poisoned wines. I taught them all but nothing like I trashed my garbage. But there is a big difference with the ones now with me for many long years and are still training under me.
  The very best as ever I had trained are always in Acten, just three fully trained leaders in Florida, Baton Rouge, Maryville, Conn, Newark, Hawaii, for sure, here in Colorado, Northern California, Southern California, Scandinavia by conclusion going out to Guadalajara.
  In what I had to experienced with those I had willingly and happily removed are my very best still in Guadalajara, that not one of the assholes I had booted out could ever compare with even the lower belts in ranking in our kun tao school with three other schools under Dr Mario Rainero, and in the city of Guadalajara. George Morin, and of those others would never last a half round with all their puffed up bravado.
  I am not ungrateful for the greater life I always had led in America, will always be thankful for the experience in living as nowhere else on the planet; but in my true feeling, will always be with heart and soul; when it come to students with my larger group as the ones in Guadalajara with all my love and caring. For the ones in my legacy, had me always closer in reach, and take nothing away from them. I compare the ones in Guadalajara as real excellent warriors with those I needed to remove --of the ones I removed were always the pissing who spoiled the real intend of my teaching with their corrupted lies and marching intend to show boot their corrupted skills. What you do with pussies for men, swift kick them out!
  I fully understand that some may like not in what I have to write by observing my point in viewing, but for myself never a regret to continue my written issues by reminiscing my past martial history.

EVEN UP MY SCORE.

    EVEN UP MY SCORE.
  Not surprising at all for me in becoming a hardcore continuous writer against many, and in particular always my related issue toward Steve Gartin, and Chaster Clements. They had it coming to them, that I by my own indulgence of reprisal will never spare my rod to deal out punishment in my wordy description or even when necessary in a physical contest. In regardless who they are, and I will be continuous for writing my issues.   For a long time were Gatin and Clement always taking the initiative to down grade, and always had tried to slander  the reputation of the de Thouars brothers. Was the lesser of my caring against Victor. Not when it concern me.  They had the supremacy with their keyboards in writing against the de Thouars name. They were attacking my brothers, and mostly against Victor in how stupid he was, and anything that could be wrongly written of the most  insane allegations toward my (ex) younger brother.  Many toke their bait of aggression and joined the webpages they were managing in making comments against the de Thouars. Was never in my forget me not column.  They smeared mud to disgrace the de Thouars name with their false pretentious intent, and were by far the most of hypocritical idiots for men contradicting themselves. They were acting like selfish esteemed hypocrites, profiteers of the de Thouars, and always had used our de Thouars name to distinct their claim for having achieved  the very best of gurus under the de Thouars name. Perhaps in some ways may have been true by their own  assuming ( to make an ass out of them self) to delegate their unwashed thinking full of corrupted corrosion. Maybe under Victor who always had a closer ties in friendship with these two idiots for the worse in silat and kun tao. Steve Gartin, his son, and the American kun tao silat are still profiteering to make money off the de Thouars name; allowing them self to slander me by trying to drag me through their mud pile. Since the beginning was Steve Gartin always the most  untrustworthy of all my ex students, in relating to Gartin a hypocrite, a profiteer, a self proclaimed master, the worse of liars, and always a parasite to munch off the sweat and laboring effort of others. This put himself on the same scale as the Silat w**** from Holland, Walter van der Broeke completely not an indifference for him to be in my consideration as the silat prostitute out New Mexico.
  Steve Gartin, a silat prostitute, a hypocrite, a liar, a profiteer. a termite and a self serving idiot!  I am repaying him his favor back in what he and Chaster Clements wrote against me some years ago. They thought to shame me in what they were writing; but somehow  a change of time made me comprehensive in dealing with my past history. The truth will always serve the most of incredible consequences for Gartin to overcome. This a****** may face me anytime for me with no retrain to act upon.
  The only good thing I could say about Clements that he was a good writer, and when in my consideration in relation to Steve Gartin --was it always Roger Brockman, his ex student who wrote the best for Gartin. Guru Roger Brockman became afterwards a faithful, and devoted student under me with my appreciation. I rate him levels above Aric Flour who tailored badly in following Steve Gartin, his blind kun tao and silat master with no backbone. When he like to claim a backbone may find him a fish on dry land hopping for air. Steve Gartin remain an a****** to me, and will always be a jerk.
  History will always repeat it self for my aggression to disperse my feeling that consequences has to be served. I really feel very contained for my continuous writing my feeling,  by declaring Steve Gatin and Chaster Clements the parasites and profiteering idiots of the de Thouars name.  They are profiteers, they are jerks and they are a*******.
