Who We Are?

Our Mission

We want to help spread and preserve the Malay combat art known as Seni Silat Kuntau Tekpi (or simply “Tekpi” for short).

It can be difficult to find genuine silat outside of Southeast Asia.  Thankfully, there are indications this is improving.  We want to aid the process by expanding the availability of Tekpi instruction to the USA!

Extraordinary Experiences

Once in a lifetime opportunity to begin study close to the source of a true, ancient combat art.

We have been part of an exchange program to allow for training abroad in Malaysia as well as bringing Malay master instructors to the USA.  One of our primary goals is to facilitate these opportunities so that US silat enthusiasts can train with the confidence of knowing that everything they practice is derived directly from the source in Malaysia and overseen by the masters!

Our Core Values

Seni Silat Kuntau Tekpi is an honorable art that insists on maintaining its traditions of respect.

  • Show respect for everyone.
  • Train effectively.
  • Have fun!
