GRANDMASTER DATO' MEOR A. RAHMAN'S TRUST.
"Those that did not undergo the Perlimau
Tapak Ceremony, cannot be considered as a pupil of Gayong and not
acknowledged as a member of Gayong"
Many have argued as to the actual meaning of the word "GAYONG". However,
we value the meaning "Gayong" as a sacred trust. And there are many other
things that has to be preserved so as to be handed down to the next generation.
The Perlimau Tapak ceremony is held as a sacred trust that is upheld by
Gayong practitioners as a symbol of one's entering into the world of Silat Seni
Gayong that is focused with training syllabus, locks, strikes, exercises, etc. Not
for non-members.
ADAT-ISTIADAT PERLIMAU TAPAK
The starting stage to learn the basic 7 techniques that will later be
broken down into 49 other set forms at White belt level. The training is
limited to empty hands forms.
