Pencak Silat Anyar Cimande Buhun draws on the Cimande Johnny Silmon studied with Guru Makmur Suradilaga and Mang Eem Suhaemi. The name joins the Sundanese words for “new” and “old.”
A.C.B. retains the core of traditional Pencak Silat while refining it for realistic self-defence, with both armed and unarmed methods.
