Silat is the indigenous martial art of the Melayu in Malaysia.

This is an exploration of the wisdom shared with the author by his silat teachers over the last 35 years and how it has impacted his thoughts, relationships, career and business.

During his tenure as editor of SENI BELADIRI, Malaysia's premier martial arts magazine, he had the opportunity to meet with many teachers and learn from them. 

His interest went beyond the physical into the philosophical and psychological. He gleaned gems of guidance that helped him navigate life as a whole.

Some people learn life from sports, music or dance. He found his signposts of life in silat. He prays that readers find these signposts useful in theirs.
