                Such is the flow of martial arts of Indonesia pencak silat that I know. More and less I'm sorry. The essence of self-defense is none other than to protect ourselves, not to put ourselves in power. You should know, the strong man is not a strong physical person. Rather a man who can withstand his anger. And do not be arrogant to the person below you. Sometimes you can lose to someone weaker than you because of your selfishness. So ... !! Never underestimate a small thing huh.
