 The Five Dragons School specializes in the instruction of the
Indonesian Art of Pentjak Silat Pekoelan Tjimande Batin as Passed down in lineage from Maha
Goeroe Willy Wetzel and one of his sons Goeroe Roy Wetzel. Our school gives every student
the ability to learn how, what, who, and why this art is taught the way it is. At one time this
art was considered closed to outsiders and even those excepted into a school were most
times not given all information, however here we believe students should receive
every opportunity to learn all this art has to offer. At our school we try to make
it as easy as possible to learn from flexible scheduling of classes, personal lesson
and of course our online study program. Every student (who is enrolled at the school)
receives a free password that unlocks every piece of tested material by means of step
by step photo galleries, streaming video of every move, and streaming video of
instruction of every move, all for the purpose of at home studying. At the school no
information is held back, down from history, psychology of combat, the Principals of
Poekoelan, to the three levels of learning (mental, physical, and spiritual) and we
even teach of the magical/mystical portion of this art. We in no way try to change
values in students. Because of this the art has been referred to as “an art of self
discovery”. For a true instructor of this art will not make you do “this” or “that”
but will help you along one’s own chosen path. To help new students along, we
also require no contracts to sign up at the school. We believe a contract should
not keep you coming for lessons but rather a thirst for knowledge.
Also we charge no testing fee for rank testing, for no hard effort will
go un-rewarded. We do this to help everyone focus on what really matters and
that is not fees and contracts but having a clear mind to pursue ones own
training and be able to enjoy life stress and worry free. I hope you come and
join us at the school or on-line… come see the amazing Art of Pentjak Silat
Poekoelan Tjimande Batin and discover that the possibilities are limit less. |
