New Haven, CT
Students at Yale University invited Bapak Waleed, Leonardo Stoute, to campus today to share his expertise in the traditional, cultural art of Silat Tuo from West Sumatra, Indonesia. Those in attendance spent several hours with Bapak learning the movements of this ancient art and its applications in dance, self defense, and healing.
Bapak tailored his teaching style to those present, and gave each specific instructions to match their levels and abilities. All were grateful to spend time training with him before he returns overseas to continue his own teaching and training in Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
