destruction) to rob him of his agility.
Special training concepts to attack
the opponent's head and neck are
also part of Panantukan Concept.

Body manipulation
Body manipulation is one of the
main pillars of Panantukan Concept. It
is used to move the opponent in a
position which is bad for him and
good for us as well as to break the
opponent's
balance.
Body
manipulation is mainly used
concurrently
with
attacking
techniques, like hits, kicks and locks.
Body manipulation works as pushing,
pressing, and pulling or as a
combination of these elements. Arms,
legs, shoulders, neck or head can be
the targets of body manipulation
techniques. Effective manipulation
requires correct distance, which is
punching distance.
Body manipulation is one of the
most fascinating techniques in
Panantukan and is, of course, also
used in armed fighting. Lots of

exercises, drills and special training
methods are used to improve body
manipulation techniques.

Street defense
Panantukan is basically defense
against punches and kicks. For
Panantukan Concept, however, we
have created a program which also
includes the release from grips,
techniques for threats with arms
(knives, firearms), defense against more
than one aggressors, defense in lessthan-perfect environments (in a car, at a
table,..) and third party protection. For
this we use, of course, concepts of
Panantukan, but also training methods
and strategies taken from modern selfdefense systems. This seems logical,
as we want to prepare our students for
unfavorable events and improve their
self-defense skills.

Instructors training
Diversity and unlimited use are what
makes Panantukan Concept so

interesting for instructors of other
martial arts, both as an extension of
their own martial arts or simply as an
educational
device.
SAMI
Inter national offers instructors
courses, in particular for trainers of
other styles who wish to improve their
knowledge step by step. Of course,
we follow our own path when we
teach future instructors of Panantukan
Concept as practical lessons are
supported online. One of the most
important issues, though, is to
understand didactic concepts,
methodical arrangement of the
curriculum and well-structured access
to training programs. At the moment,
Panantukan Concept is taught in a
number of European countries, still,
we are developing more locations in
order to allow even more people to
access our unique close-combat
system.
