The Raid has hit cinemas in the UK and we wanted to show you more about the film without all the PR spiel so you can judge for yourself. Here are all the clips we’ve been sent or have sourced all in one place, showing you trailers, clips, behind the scenes and even the escalator advert they’re running in London.
Silat is an ancient Indonesian martial art that blends both weapons-based and unarmed combat. Its practitioners are adept at utilising a range of weaponry whether it is a stick, knife, sword or more exotic weapon such as a kerambit (a claw-shaped dagger which hooks on the thumb) but also in fighting barehanded.
Despite its ancient roots (Silat can be traced back as far as the 5th century), it remains applicable today and makes for a devastating and brutally effective combat art. As a fighting art, Silat focuses on disabling an opponent in the quickest way possible using techniques to break, wrench and trap joints and to throw and trip opponents.
