“Is the Karambit Just a Fancy Movie Weapon? Think Again!”
You’ve probably heard of Silat. Maybe a friend mentioned it to you or you’ve seen clips of it on YouTube.
Perhaps you’ve watched flashes of it in movies like Mark Wahlberg’s Mile 22 or Keanu Reeve’s John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
But this martial art from Southeast Asia is still largely unknown in the West.
To most, Silat seems exotic.
Unfamiliar. Maybe even mysterious.
That’s because what’s commonly seen is just a glimpse of the art.
Those action movies DON’T show you the underlying method.
Those YouTube shorts DON’T show the combat principles that give those movements their effectiveness.
The depth has always remained OUT OF REACH for most practitioners outside of Southeast Asia.
That’s why Tiga Tactics is releasing Silat Serak, an online program that gives you structured access to this concepts-based combat art — without shortcuts, martial arts myths, or fight-scene fantasies — so you can learn it no matter where in the world you live.

Recent Testimonials
Grandmaster Willem de Thouars
“I have known Conrad for many years now and he is a member of my closed-door family. He has always shown nothing but dedication to the arts that I teach; whether that be silat, kuntao, knife work and everything else that I teach. There is no doubt that I consider him one of my most advanced students. It does not matter which art he is teaching, learning from him will be like learning from me.”
Evan Perperis
“Patrick Vuong and Dr. Conrad Bui bring the course material in an easy-to-understand and fun manner. The two of them have an insane amount of experience and qualifications. The instructors occasionally mix in some jokes to keep things light while still effectively conveying the course material. As someone who regularly buys martial arts training content in digital format, this is one of the best ones I have seen.
Overall, I enjoyed the Tiga Tactics “EDC Karambit” course. With the expertise brought by the two instructors, you are in good hands. The bottom line is if you carry a knife, instead of buying another blade for your collection, take some time to spend the money to figure out how to actually use it in a self-defense situation.”
Robert Binder
“Before the “EDC Karambit” course l had trained in boxing, karate, Taekwondo, Hapkido, and WAKO kickboxing with some exposure to Muay Thai and BJJ. I felt and continue to feel confident in my personal protective skills and would have felt confident using a karambit in a combatives situation.
The Tiga Tactics “EDC Karambit” course exceeded my expectations. I feel I came away better prepared to train with and use a karambit should the need arise. Of particular note for me were the points on wearing your karambit (whether a fixed or folder), drawing, and the grips used.
I did come away from the “EDC Karambit” course better prepared and a bit more confident in using my karambit for personal protection. But I also realize I have to train it regularly to sustain the skill set.“
