sorry, a little bit off track..... keris is first & foremost a weapon. I think a lot of people agreed with this fact in some of the old threads. When i talked about "self defense" surely it meant keris wasnt the 1st choice weapon in war.
Regarding the esoteric value in a keris for fighting, yes the "isian" may help it's owner somewhat, but the decisive factor still rests with the owner.
I'm not sure where you come from Pusaka, but I live within the keris culture, Malay peninsula, sumatra & Bugis keris culture..... keris is still regarded as "king of weapon" in this part of the world.
I dont know where you get the idea of my having "8 points ilmu" which coincidently resembling a a keris combat philosophy in the silat i practise called "lapan penjuru angin bermata satu". Do I know you?
