Warna-Warna MCS

It's Here! : Silat Seni Gayong

It's finally here. The Malay Cultural Society cordially invites all its members to join our new and exciting endeavor - Silat Seni Gayong.
A martial art, an art of warriorship, a self-defense technique and above all a fun activity for all to enjoy!

Of course, everything is free of charge. You are not obliged to pay for anything to give it a go!
You have paid for your MCS membership fee, so why would you have pay more? It's free!
We don't require any special badge-studded uniform during our training sessions.
But if you would like one, we can order it for you from Malaysia for about RM80+postage ~ GBP20 or less.
We only require that you wear a decent and fairly sturdy sports attire.
Bring some drinking water too if you like.
For girls, we suggest that you bring a 'kain batik' to wear as a sampin together with a track bottom, in order to protect your decency.
Also be assured that there will be no touching or grappling between opposite genders.
Islamic Syari'ah will always be observed.

We managed to secure room bookings for the next three weeks of our training sessions.
Details are as follows :

Saturday  22/11/08 - Brunel Suite, Student Union  10am-12pm
Saturday  29/11/08 - Brunel Suite, Student Union  10am-12pm
Saturday  06/12/08  - MR6 Large, Student Union    10am-12pm

Each session will include 

~30 minutes of warming up and exercises
~30 minutes of revision from last week's lesson
~30 minutes of new lessons

There will be a break time of ~10 minutes of course, for you to have a few gulps of water.
We will limit explanatory talks to the very minimum so that we can focus more on the physical part of the lesson. 
At the end of every session, we will open for an informal Q&A. Here is where long talks are appropriate. The instructors will stay as long as they need to answer all your questions.
We will also include hand-outs for you to better understand what Silat Seni Gayong is all about and to help you memorize the lessons.
We recommend and welcome you to bring note pads, cameras, video cameras or any device to assist you in memorizing the moves you're going to learn.


We will treat beginners as beginners and we won't expect too much of you.
Everybody has to start somewhere, right? Don't worry,we'll guide you through the process.
As you progress, you will adapt to more demanding level of training.
Eventually, you may get to join tournaments and performances all over the UK and Europe!
We make an effort to give you as much exposure of the world of Silat Seni Gayong as you like.
But we won't push you, you generate your own progress.

So, that's it! 

If there's any questions, please leave a comment below.

Thank you for your time. See you Saturday!

MCS presents Silat Seni Gayong

Here is a teaser of what's coming up. 
Watch out for more.
Questions?






MCS is bringing you Silat Seni Gayong.
An art of warriorship from the Malay Archipelago.

Since we are the Malay *Cultural* Society, I thought we should have more of things *cultural*.
Not that we are ditching our beloved culture of indulging in those glorious cuisines...  (^_^)
Just thought it may be a good idea to add something else to that list.

All classes are free of charge.
No fees, no mandatory uniform, no attendance record, no exams. =)
But there could be tournaments and performances if you're interested.

Venue : Best suggestion yet - Student Union building. Suggest a better venue.
Time  : Best suggestion yet - Every Saturday or Sunday at 10am. Suggest a better time.

For early registration, send me a message, an email or simply leave a comment below.
*just to find out how interested people are*
