Beyond the ubiquitous Taijutsu (unarmed combat) and Kobujutsu (ninja weaponry) arts, we are unique in also teaching the higher order arts of Ninso (Japanese face-reading), Satsujin (opponent assessment), Katsusatsu (Moxibustion and other resuscitation methods), and Shinri-Gaku (psychological methods of deception).”

Dr. Guru Madya Charles Brandon Stauft, Ph.D.
Private instruction is available in Suffolk and Nassau counties.https://sites.google.com/site/iopsny/home
“Inti Ombak (Inner Wave) Pencak Silat is a system of indigenous martial arts from the Indonesian Archipelago. It incorporates two major lineages. One lineage is from the sultanate of Mataram in central Java (Jogjakarta) and involves high stances. The other lineage utilizes low, wide stances from the island of Madura. The philosophical and physical mixture of these two ancestors results in wave behavior ‘In the front as a leader, in the middle as a balancer, in the back as an advocate.’…IOPS teaches the use of an array of weapons from the Indonesian archipelago including knife (pisau and kerambit), staff (toya), stick (tongkat), sai (tjabang, trishula, tripong), whip (pecut), sickle (clurit), and sword (single and double-edged).”
