Serak or Sera. Founded by Pak Sera. This is a touchy subject. GGM Reeders was from this lineage. The system now I believe is under Victor de Thouars. But is anyone really teaching the true Serak. Who is the Pendekar. Paul,Victor Maurice???? Paul and Victor have side systems. Paul (Bukti Negara) Victor ( Tongkat ). I have met both and lucky enough to study from Paul, plus many years with Guru Inosanto who has now studied with both Paul and Victor. So I have taken what I have learned added it to the Chuan - Fa and stayed out of the politic's.
My conversation with Paul while eating a very good chinese lunch was about GGM Reeders. Paul was too young to study from Reeders, Reeders was working out with his uncle Ernest ( Nes ) de Vries and dating his mother at the same time. Paul told me Reeders had an uncanny gift in that he could absorb a style in weeks. He would jump from one silat master to another picking up there system. Reeders liked Nes because he only wanted to work on fighting techniques, on the other hand Nes's brother Johann dove into the whole system with juru's and langka's.
After the war Paul and his mother traveled to Ubon prison, there they met Reeders again.
