Signing up for the AIP is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Ash Miah's personalized instruction has helped me to become a stronger, more flexible and proficient martial artist. He has also fostered the ability and confidence to share the knowledge of this art with others. Beyond that the SBL AIP community is an incredible support and source of knowledge and inspiration. As a nurse on the front-lines of the COVID fight, I can say that the camaraderie and endorphin producing workouts where a massive help in coping with that stress. Join up, you won't be disappointed.

This course is a game-changer for me. The online and offline contents are fun and challenging. Ash's personalized attention benefits the practitioner tremendously. The quality of instruction is top-notch. The positive camaraderie inspires one another. It's fun, beneficial, and challenging. What more do I want? I’d s sign up all over again.

I was travelling around the world for many years to explore and train all kinds of martial arts. When I came into contact with Pencak Silat the first time, I immediately fell in love with the art. Working and living in remote areas of the world it was always difficult for me to train martial arts, especially an exotic art like Silat. Thanks to Silat Buka Lingkaran I am now enabled to train as a part of a community, where ever I am. That is very precious to me. The tutorials are very detailed and provide that everybody can learn on their own pace. I love the conditioning sessions every two weeks, which became demanding workout. I am certain that my abilities will increase significantly during the course period.

I have known Alvin Guinano and his system Buka Lingkaran by watching Youtube and I was immediately impressed by his speed, the variation of heights and the control of the fight. I wondered if this system was as effective as it seems. There isn’t any classroom in my area, so it is difficult to test. One day, I had the opportunity to subscribe to the AIP and as I am used to using the e-learning in my job, I decided to test. The training is not yet finished but at the moment, I am very glad, I like what I have learnt. It is not easy, because you are alone and far from the instructor, so you have to be very determined, self-demanding, persevering and hardworking, but the instructor Ash is very perfect. He is a worthy student of Alvin, the system is really well represented. The videos are very good qualities and the course is very well organized. The explanations are clear and detailed. The techniques are executed from different angles, which really allows to see all the details. One of the advantages is to be able to pause and review the technique. I recommend also to participate in the conditioning courses, it helps a lot. The goal is to work the cardio by using the positions and movements of the system. This work helps to improve your strength, your stamina, and your positions without focusing on a specific technique. Ash is really wonderful and very kind. He is very passionate and always available in case of questions. In order to check my work, I send to him some video about my work and next, we do a one to one web session. In this condition, he can give me a feedback and help me to improve my work. I have the advantage of practicing fight sports for a long time and I also have the chance to give courses in an another system. All these things help me a lot to understand the techniques and to focus on the principal point. I recommend the AIP for all the people who want to learn this beautiful system
