Silat Kuntau Tekpi Historical Photos

Here's a photo of Cikgu Sani, the current Guru Utama of Seni Silat Kuntau Tekpi. This photo was taken in 1969 just after the national riots:



Here is a historical photo of Pak Guru - Cikgu Sani's father and the former Guru Utama:



Here's a photo of Pak Guru from several month's ago (in mid-2004). The photo was taken in Kedah:



If you look closely, you will notice that he has had his legs amputated. This was due to a very bad case of diabetes. Sadly, he just passed away only three months ago...

Here is a picture of Siti Aminah - Cikgu Sani's Grandmother. She was the key Silat Kuntau Tekpi instructor in this system. She taught Cikgu Sani's father and she also taught him! This photo was taken in the 1960s. She is 97 years old in the photo. She died when she was 100 years old! They say that at the time that the photo was taken, she could throw a large piece of firewood incredibily far with only one hand!



Here's a photo taken earlier this year just before Pak Guru passed away. The man on the far left is my Kuntau Tekpi instructor, Cikgu Norazlan. The man standing in the back (second from the right) is Cikgu Nadzrin, my Silat Kalimah training partner. This picture was taken at the main gellanggang for Seni Silat Kuntau Tekpi in Kedah. This is ground zero for Kuntau Tekpi!
