PCK Schools

All PCK schools are considered semi-private schools. There are NO DROP-INS. We accept new students by appointment only. If you are interested in looking at a class, please send an email to guruderek@hotmail.com
On the day of your appointment, you will be asked to sign a waiver prior to entering the training area even if you are only going to be watching. This is simply a liability waiver and does not mean that you have joined or been accepted for enrollment.

After the initial "viewing appointment" if the prospective student is still interested in joining, we would request that they complete an application form.
After a successful interview with Guru Derek, you will discuss fees (monthly fee, PCK Membership, uniforms, training equipment, etc) as well as student expectations, class structure, seminars, etc.

This introduces you to the art, the existing students and makes sure that you are a good fit for our school and that our school is the right fit for you. This process is to ensure that all new students understand the expectations of our art and its teachers and to help maintain the traditional atmosphere and provide a conducive learning environment.



Online Training Course
  
I have been given the honor of heading up the long distance program for Guru Besar and am in the process of filming videos for a new PCK online training program.
Imagine being able to train with a Guru right from the comfort of your own home with your computer, phone or tablet. To be able to play pause or rewind a lesson on your own time and at your own pace. To have the ability to get feedback from an instructor through email, video or skype. With the PCK Silat online training course you will be able to learn one of the most deadly arts in the world in its entirety, through detailed training videos and much more. With the tools provided you will never have to feel like REAL SILAT TRAINING is out of reach ever again.
The videos will be spread out through multiple tiers which will have an individualized user password for each level. As practitioners progress they will be given the opportunity to pass to a new tier at certain video checkpoints and also given the opportunity to test through video for rank in the same way. Each level will contain the same information that is taught in PCK schools and will take you through a progression that will reflect our curriculum. You will learn all empty hand, weapons, meditation, internal energy, conditioning and healing aspects of the art.
Support will include but is not limited to: email access and some video response from Guru Derek, additional video extras, Gurus notes on the videos, the monthly PCK newsletter as well as the option to do Skype private lessons. If you are interested in enrolling in the online program when it launches, in the meantime you can make sure you have an up to date PCK Membership.
