Dr. Slimi considers himself a student of Martial Arts. His journey of learning martial arts started with Japanese Judo during his childhood then he enrolled in the Korean Hybrid system of Hapkido and practiced it for many years. He competed successfully in many local and national tournaments and in Judo, Ju Jutsu and open Martial Arts. Thereafter, he enrolled in different Martial Arts such as Kung Fu, Muay Thai and Kickboxing.
He also practiced Japanese Iaido/Iaijutsu, Ju Jitsu, and Aikido. His interest in Silat started years ago during his university studies in the late eighties as it was introduced to him by Southeast Asian Students from Malaysia and Indonesia. He joined Koentjoro Bela Diri (A Hybrid system made of Tae Kwon Do, Kempo Karate & Silat Harimau) and earned another black belt in this system with a special focus on Silat techniques and Jurus. His decision to focus on learning and teaching Silat only came after he visited many times Malaysia and Indonesia and then stayed in Indonesia for a while. He believes Silat is a complete system and can incorporate all the above-mentioned styles of Martial Arts in addition to its values and interesting historical development.
