Nobody ever questions their double lifts.

They should just learn to take the lift.

I watched a show on Discovery channel where two dudes went to different countries to learn different martial arts. They learned Silat in Malaysia. Was very fast.
Kind of makes me think of a cross between Kali and Tai Chi.

Saw that as well... Not bad...

Historically it has been theorized that Kali originated from Silat... A lot about this on the Net if you want to check it out.

I can see how it looks like Tai Chi...

I will look more into that. I love all martial arts and Kali is one of my favorites. I would also love to learn Krabi Krabong if it was taught here, but unfortunately it isn't.
I don't know much about Silat but it looks cool from what I've seen. Some of the movements were reminiscent of Tai Chi splashing hands is what I meant. And the shorter and sharper movements reminded me of Kali.
I will look at it more because it interests me quite a bit.

That's a loooong way down.
Great Stuff. Very Gutsy.
Will you walk into my parlour? said the Spider to the Fly,
Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I've a many curious things to show when you are there.

Oh no, no, said the little Fly, to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up your winding stair
-can ne'er come down again.

Critter, do check it out. Do remember that Silat is more weapon based originally..

Don't join any Silat that asks you to jump off of any 2 storey building though..
