PENCAK SILAT NAGA DUA HARIMAU
Pencak Silat Naga Dua Harimau is a system of Self Defense and combat founded by Guru Tim Lee. The name itself means the Dragon and the Two Tigers, symbolic of our lineage to Sigung Bruce Lee and my Harimau ( Tiger Style) Silat teachers, Pendekar Herman Suwanda and Pendekar Suci Grandmaster Richard Crabbe De Bordes. Our lineage to Sigung Bruce Lee is through Soke Joe Purcell, Keller, Texas and his direct teachers Sifu Dan Inosanto, and Sigung Joseph Cowles. Sigung Cowles was founder of the Wu Wei Gung Fu system and Soke Purcell is current lineage holder of that system. - Guru Tim Lee
Guru Lee's journey in the martial arts world has been different than mine. Each of the teachers in the system have had unique experiences and so add additional perspective our art. In addition to the material mentioned above I have also worked with several others and now also represent Guru Besar Bambang Suwanda, Mande Tri Suwanda. Japanese Ju-Jutsu, Capoeira, and Parkour "L'Art du Déplacement" have also been very influential in how I understand movement. Ideals from these disciplines can be seen in what I teach and how I present the material. Guru Tim always encoruaged me to explore, and share what I learned with my training partners and students. - Jherich Silas
