I have been studying Poekoelan for over eight years and within those years I have experienced several profound changes. I found Poekoelan at a time in my life when I needed positive changes the most. Although it was exactly what I needed, Poekoelan in itself was not enough. I needed the proper guidance and instruction. I found this guidance through the knowledge of Pendekkar Tom Reeveley and Pendekkar Nick Mamula.
Poekoelan gives you the freedom to explore diffrent ways of applying techniques, using your bodys natural movement to get the desired result from your technique.
Although Poekoelan allows you to utilize it in your own specific way, the basics never vary. The movements that make up the foundation of Poekoelan are strictly taught and consistantly practiced.
Poekoelan teaches more than just technique. It builds confidence and teaches the importance of honor and self respect, as well as respect for tradition, culture and different beliefs.
Watching and understanding in silence, practicing and experiencing in feeling,gradually you reach a level where you may act at will. In calmness meet the opponent's movement, in calmness execute your own. Nothing is as constant as change. When you interact with your opponents changes, the mystery of the art will start to be manifested.
