I’ve had the good fortune of having trained with Guru Rennie’s group on and off over the past few years. During the few weeks/months on end that I’ve had enough time to train, it has always been an enjoyable learning experience. Guru Rennie has a wealth of knowledge in mande muda pencak silat, having trained directly under Pak Herman Suwanda and other members of the Suwanda family over the years. He has a laidback personality and is very engaging instructor who genuinely cares that his students emerge out of class having learned something new — whether it’s getting better at the basic stances, fundamental strikes, avoiding getting stabbed with a knife, dodging a stick, or learning that cool harimau takedown(my personal fave ;)). In addition, he is open-minded and respectful about other martial arts styles and cross-training. I would highly recommend this school for anyone who is seeking authentic silat instruction!

Guru Rennie is an excellent teacher who is able to break down complex and unfamiliar movements in an easy to absorb manner. The two senior students are also helpful and friendly, making it a real joy to train here. The classes move between intense and relaxed sessions so that it is possible to keep up and learn new material quickly. I have really enjoyed training with everyone for more than a year and love the new location.
