About Ribat Martial Arts
My name is Ilyas Hamdi. I started my martial arts journey in 2004.
I trained in several styles of South East Asian arts, and I was introduced to Pekiti Tirsia Kali in early 2013.In 2014, I met my teacher, Mataas Na Guro Wes Tasker, a renowned martial artist, scholar, and traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
Mataas Na Guro Wes Tasker studied and taught FMAs, Indonesian martial arts, Japanese martial arts, and Traditional Chinese martial arts for many years, and reached high ranks in all of them.
I was lucky to be admitted as one of his students and have been learning from him ever since. Today, I am also helping others learn the art.At Ribat Martial Arts, we like to train with an open mind and a humble heart. Classes are kept small and focused, and geared towards your needs. As long as you do the work and have the right mindset, rest assured that training will help you improve your health and build unique skills, regardless of your age.
