Silat Fitrah: The Malay Art of Natural Self Defence
Welcome to Silat Fitrah at Mikey Wright Movements, where traditional training is taught in a practical and accessible way. Silat Fitrah is a Malaysian martial art known for its fluid movement, strong foundations, and effective self-defence skills.
Our classes combine structured physical training with an understanding of movement, breathing, and awareness. Alongside developing coordination and practical self-protection skills, students also gain insight into the principles and traditions that underpin the art, creating a well-rounded and meaningful training experience.
What is Silat Fitrah?
Silat Fitrah is a traditional martial art that originates from Malaysia. The simple, principle based syllabus incorporates groundwork, footwork, striking, kicking, takedowns, the use of a variety of weapons and tairi - a free-flowing, martial dance. The art can be practised in a gentle manner, with an emphasis on physical and emotional well-being, and in a dynamic, aggressive way more suited to physical self-defence.
Training in Silat Fitrah provides you with valuable skills that can be applied both in self-defence and in daily life.
