Donn Draeger, in his world-renowned Asian Fighting Arts, wrote, “Perhaps there is no pencak-silat as curious as the harimau style performed in Sumatra.” Named for the tiger that its movements so aptly portray, harimau has previously been taught to only a handful of adepts who have used this lithe, sinuous style with deadly effectiveness against armed and unarmed opponents alike. Now the secrets of harimau’s low-line kicking, devastating takedowns and savagely effective groundfighting can be yours. In this video, Guru Richard Crabbe de Bordes, certified instructor under Indonesia’s General Hanafi, teaches you the basic postures (kudas) and footwork patterns (langkhas) of harimau. He then shows you how to combine these elements into a fighting art designed to take your opponent to the ground and keep him there. Guru de Bordes also teaches rarely seen defense tactics against multiple attackers and demonstrates the practical effectiveness of harimau in a real-life kidnapping scenario. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to learn the secrets of one of the most dramatic and unusual martial arts ever developed.

Health and Medical course

More information about Medical:

Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.

Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
