Some says silat is a word taken from "Solat". Solat is a way of Muslim's people worship Allah. Some says Silat is a word taken from "Si kilat" which means someone who moves very fast like lightning. Whatever they say about Silat, I assume that Silat is a beautiful Malay martial arts yet deadly.
I would like to tell you about slap. Slap is one of the hand techniques in Silat. I know most of you thought if you want to slap somebody you'll aim for his face. That is correct but you can use your slap more than that.
