Traditionally, silat is only taught to the Malays and Muslims, as they also contain various verses from the Quran to be used in the rites and actual fight. It is said that a real master can fly like a bird or walk swiftly on water, and sometimes he could make himself invisible to the opponent.
These all seems make-believe and a lot of hot-air to the modern man. But to those in the know, and those who have actually seen the master performs the so called magical acts, these beliefs are true and they would without hesitation accept the notion.
But then these "superhuman" capabilities are not for show, especially not to outsiders.Only the nearest master and selected students will be allowed or can see the magical acts performed.
And it is said that it will not happen if it is done for show or to show-off. It will not happen – and the master knows this - and of course he has the requisite character and temperament not to be a show-off either.
silat kick and turn
The mystical abilities to fly like a bird,walk on water, etc., are achieved through the spiritual means.
That is why in silat, a thin or even a disabled or physically challenged person can overcome a tough or bigger person because his ability lies in the spiritual realm and with this extra ability can take opponents with physically bigger body. This, it is believed, is also as a result of practising the reciting of various "magical" verses.
It is sometimes believed also that in Malay silat a killing can be done without even touching the opponent, or be made at a distance, from afar. And even one punch would be enough to kill as it contains tons of energy that the opponent will feel like being knocked by a kilo of steel bar or stone.This is quite normal actually.
But the true masters will not show their "supernatural powers" in their normal day to day living or for exhibition or show because it will never happen. Only a real fight will make it happen. In fact, in normal living, the true master would be a very humble person, and people around him would not know of his secret ability or prowess.
As I said earlier, this all seems fiction. But it is not. The silat masters of the Malays had from time immemorial possessed the knowledge to be invincible and strong spiritually – magical powers - so to speak.
Most probably, other then the practice of spiritual matters, it is their inherent and intimate knowledge of the body structure and parts, veins and arteries, the body movements, even psychology, and to use all these knowledge in perfecting their art of self-defence, which made them invincible.
