Silat Workshop

As part of our Kagami Biraki celebration, we hosted a Pencak Silat workshop featuring Guru Daniel Prasetya. We had several distinguished local area martial artists participate in the event, with backgrounds from Silat, Aikido, Kenpo, and Kung Fu (Baguazhang). It was great making connections, and everyone had a fun time.
