"Guru Penglima Darren Felsot is one of the finest examples of both a warrior and expert teacher of PCK Silat."
- Guru Besar Jerry Jacobs, Grand Master of PCK Silat

"If you want to see what we mean when we say this art is fascinatingly deadly, watch him move around and you'll see for yourself. He has a fire behind everything he does that is very contagious and he has been an absolutely invaluable contributor to my personal improvement in this art."
- Guru Penglima Derek Owings,  Raja Naga Academy,  PCK Tennessee

"Guru Darren has changed my life. The art flows through him and into the practitioner he teaches. Once you start, the art will seep into all aspects of your life. You carry it with you when you leave the training room"
 - Nick Mettille,  Student at King Dragon

I have been training along side Guru Penglima Darren for 11 years or so now and I have to say it has been an absolute privilege. I consider him to be one of the top people that motivated and inspired me during my years of training. If you want to see what we mean when we say this art is fascinatingly deadly, watch him move around and you'll see for yourself. He has a fire behind everything he does that is very contagious and he has been an absolutely invaluable contributor to my personal improvement in this art. Darren lives, eats and breathes this art, which shows clearly through his skill. Whether it's empty hands, weapons or even the meditation he can expertly guide anyone through the subtleties of this art, I have been at the receiving end of it all so I can verify first hand what that fire he has translates into on the mats. He carries himself like a true warrior and as this art moves forward I can't think of anyone I'd rather see next to me than my brother Guru Penglima Darren. Any student would be lucky to train with such an outstanding representative of Pukulan Cimande Kombinasi.

"I started studying martial arts in ’05. It is told that you don’t find Silat, yet it finds you. Guru Darren has changed my life. The art flows through him and into the practitioner he teaches. Once you start, the art will seep into all aspects of your life. You carry it with you when you leave the training room. My balance and coordination has dramatically improved. My cardiovascular health is superior to many. My confidence is up, and overall love for life has gotten greater. If you, as I have done, dedicate yourself to the art, your connection to the spiritual world strengthens. Not to mention all the friends I have made in the Silat family. My wife has even taken interest and trained with us. Anyone can learn, and Guru Darren is adaptive to many different teaching techniques, and receptive to the students needs. He has always been there for me in and out of the training room. You will learn animal style fighting, diverse weapons training, and hand to hand combat. One can easily apply the teachings to everyday life, including reaction to obstacles, more in tune observation to your surroundings, higher level of energy throughout the day, better sleep and wakes, and defensive maneuvers to any aggressor that comes your way with confidence. I am still early in my training and am looking forward to many more years of training with my Silat brothers. Thank you Gurus, and God bless all the PCK family!"
