What is Silat?
What is Kuntao?
And what the heck is Kuntao Silat?
They are all martial arts from Indonesia — and some of the most devastating on the planet.
Don't believe us?
Then believe perhaps the most famous living martial artist today, Guro Dan Inosanto.
He once called his Serak instructor, the late Paul de Thouars ...
"The deadliest man I have ever seen."
Why?
Not because Pendekar de Thouars was big.
Not because he was strong.
And not because he was lightning fast.
It was because Pendekar de Thouars was an expert in the deadly Silat style of Serak.
Unfortunately, the pendekar passed away in 2013. But his line of Silat still lives on in the United States — through his students and through his younger brother, Grandmaster Willem de Thouars.
Who is "Uncle Bill" (as he prefers to be called)?
Like his siblings — Maurice, Paul, and Victor — Uncle Bill is a martial arts pioneer who mastered several fighting systems and helped perpetuate Indonesian martial arts in the United States.
