Pak Seraks unique physiology enabled him to develop certain structures found to be highly effective, even though they are preformed with limited mobility. These unexpected techniques place the adversary into positions of vulnerability where the tools of the system have greatest effect. The Serak curriculum is designed for simplicity and effectiveness. Pak Serak developed exercises, attributes and structural principles that utilise natural body weapons including: Djurus: Rehearsed sequences of movement, designed to train the body to express efficient power, balance and control. Sambuts: Partnered movements designed to develop correct body alignment, mechanics and sequential striking points Buwangs: Techniques for controlling and throwing. Tendjekan: Attack combinations. Langkhas: Leg and footwork patterns for the development of strong and efficient body alignment and support. Sambutans: Counter-for-counter drills for the development of timing, speed and reflexes while maintaining a continually flowing motion. Kembangen: Free-form fighting movement referred to as the 'war dance'. The martial art of Serak divides the body into three sections, where each section can work independently if need be, or as a complete unit. The first section comprises the upper limbs from the head to the arms. The second is from the shoulders to the waist and the third is from the waist to the feet. When one part of the structure is weak, trapped or incapacitated, the other dimension will compensate. | Serak sambut 3       |
