Another thing i want to have is a distinctive approach to action scenes. i've been researching the pilipino martial art of kali and indonesian silat, and having been a student has given me a great appreciation of these arts. i realise what a shame it would be not to reflect their beauty and effectiveness in this project, accurately. why both? some high ranking teachers are of the opinion that kali and silat are related arts. and having seen both, i tend to lean in that direction.



There are some things i can't depict out of galang and adat hormat. but i want to at least have the "flavour" seep through the work. i want datu Talim to use the kalis because of it's connnection to the art. you saw datu Talim doing sepok (front cross step) on the last post. his wearing the taruk, sarong/malong and sawal kiput also identifies him with kali and silat as they are analogous to a samurai wearing his kimono, obi ,tabi and katana.

this was fun. i have datu talim interacting with the world's fierces fighters in the story line. and why not? mandirigma (warriors) of the islands has proven the effectiveness of the arts for centuries.
this one has datu talim vs. a mongol general. hmmm... i wonder what's the story behind that?

stay tuned!!!
