Greetings and fond wishes for a prosperous New Year to All,
This blog is dedicated to the martial lifestyle of American KunTao Silat founded by Sigung Steve Gartin, a finished Disciple of Bapak Willem deThouars .
Sigung Steve is the man who introduced KunTao Silat and Kun Lun Pai to the World. His work can be seen in printed articles, newsgroup posts, emails and videos and will be re-published here as time allows.
I, as many, are the recipients of the knowledge, dedication and love that Sigung Steve has given to the World in the form of KunTao Silat.
It may seem oxymoronic to think that KunTao Silat could be a mechanism for making peace; but Peace through Power is not a concept foreign to the warrior. The confidence KunTao Silat instills in its practitioners allows them to be humble and peaceful with all until it is necessary to “flip the switch” and change mode.
So, with gratitude, I say to all,
Peace,
Art Kidwell, Guru Muda
