Introduction

I'm an Uwaysi Kwahjagan Naqshbandi Haqqaniyya Sufi Dervish. I teach a rare and blessed warrior path with an unbroken lineage of mystical disciplic chain of transmission. This path is Silat, I represent a door to an ocean of wisdom and right guidance.

Do you believe in a higher power?

I am not a master, for There is only one Master and that One is the Creator Supreme of Skill and Knowledge Infinite. All other so-called Martial Arts Masters, are really students, at best, of that One Whose knowledge is beyond limits. I am not a teacher, since What we do as teachers, in this course of instruction, is "guide" others to the true Master. This One can be approached through a path which arrives at certain ettiquets by which one may elevate their awareness or conciousness to perceive reality through experience of divine attributes. This is called The Witness or "the Seeing"... which is a gift. If someone runs upon thier own power they are cutoff from that ONE... sourcing, which is limitless, they will soon run out of power. When they are cut off its over, for them... however this is when and where the Gift is bestowed... and Divine power begins... when dressed upon someone:.... they are never the same after the gift; humbly, they are running on a limitless "inspired" power.

Are you comfortable with the practice of a lethal war art?

We are not grown men and women playing at sport, We train to protect ourselves and the lives of our loved ones. In so doing we intend to do so defending the weak and upholding righteousness. When the combat moment arrives we will not be of those who are unprepared. It is far better to have this gift of self defense, and not need it, than to need it and not have it. We are an aggressive art and make no apology for that.... for when the mother bear is crossed and her cubs are in danger... it is only wisdom to beware the claws and teeth of natures' reprisal.

What Shihabudeen is saying about this Meetup Group

this group is in its infancy.. but is growing fast... now is the best time to join as personal instruction is to be had in an intimate setting pretty much one on one with the instructor...

  • The idea of "Truth" is quite amazing and should be more widely followed in my humble opinion. My personal philosophical beliefs have developed out of a need for this. There seems to be a serious lacking of "truth" in this world in general. I look forward to meeting you.
