Dedication
I would like to dedicate this book to my late beloved brother Kadir. It was he who had approached my cousin Pharok – a teacher of Silat Gayong, the Malaysian art of self defence – to teach me the art of the Tjabang (Sai). This was back in the
1960
s
, when Pharok lived in the same city as me: Seremban, Malaysia. Even though that instruction was only for a short period of time, it was my first encounter with the Sai. Thank you, my brother, for whatever you have done for me.

Author’s Note
Before I even finished my third book – Okinawan Bō-jutsu
– I had already started to plan my next book, which is the book you are reading now. I knew it would take me a long time to write this book, too. So, I thought of advertising it in Okinawan Bō-jutsu
. Having done that, there was really no turning back. I left myself with no choice but to start working on this book before Okinawan Bō-jutsu
was out of the press.
Enjoy the book, and train hard!
Foreword
I believe it must have been in the end of
1960
s
when I saw a training and demonstration of master Jamal Measara in Seremban, Malaysia.
It was really amazing to watch him moving so full of energy, at the peak of his youth. I believe he must have been in his early
20
s
, and I was around the age of 35.
His humour in training was great and his techniques were very
