Paduka Glenn Lobo is The Founder and Chief Instructor at the Lobo Academy. He started training in martial arts at the age of 10 studying Judo, Taekwondo, and Aikido, before moving to London, and starting Wing Chun and then Silat.
Glenn has been privileged to train with some of the best martial artists in Britain, and others around the world.
In Wing Chun, Glenn trained with Austin Goh, and Nino Bernardo. He has attended seminars with Cass Magda, Guro Dan Inosanto, Abner Pasar, Master Jon Escudero.
In Silat, Glenn started training with Jak Othman who was the pioneer of Silat in Britain. Glenn has also trained with Richard de Bords and was awarded an instructor grade with both of them. When Jak organised a team from Britain to attend the 4th World Championships, in Kuala Lumpur, Glenn was appointed as his representative and assisted him. After the competition, Jak left Glenn to train with another group of Silat instructors, and that was when he was introduced to the art of Silat Lincah.
Having trained in Holland with arguably the foremost expert in Silat or Pukulan in Europe, Pa Flohr, of Pukulan Madura, Glenn was given permission by Pa Flohr to include Pukulan into his style, and this caused the genesis of Pukulan Langkah Mati.
Paduka Glenn has been teaching Silat in Britain and throughout Europe since 1986, and is THE person for you to train with and learn the genuine realistic fighting arts of Malaysia.
Paduka Glenn has been the leading figure for Silat in Britain since 1987, and has appeared in many magazines, books, and even on tv. He was the British Representative to the World Silat Federation from 1987 -1994 and is a member of the British Council of Kali Escrima Arnis Instructors.
As well as studying and teaching 4 penck silat styles, Glenn is also a fully qualified instructor of Lightning Scientific Arnis. Grading and training with Master Shaun Porter, Glenn also received his certificate from Mang Ben Lema, the founder of the system. Arnis is the martial art of the Phillipines, and Lightning is recognised as one of the more powerful styles. Mang Ben had a fearsome reputation for both his ability and the power of his system.
Guru Glenn is the foremost Malaysian Silat practitioner in Europe, and around the world. He has travelled to Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore to train at source, with some of the greatest Pencak Silat masters.
While having this sort of pedigree isn’t important for your “what do I do on a Thursday night” or “pencak silat near me” Martial arts class, If you want to learn genuine Silat, with a known provenance- not a YouTube created “Pencak Silat Master” – then you couldn’t do better than Paduka Guru Glenn!
Pencak Silat is a South East Asian combat art that has existed for several hundreds of years. It combines numerous Martial Art movements and the use of weapons into one unique style. Formerly described as Pertikaman, which means ‘to stab’, Pencak Silat primarily focuses on self-defence techniques, as well as embodying other spiritual, sport and art elements.
There are four major styles of this art in Malaysia – Seni Gayong, Silat Cekak, Silat Gayong Fatani and Silat Lincah. Paduka Glenn Lobo has combined aspects of the two main styles – Seni G and Lincah styles and developed them into his own, named Pukulan Langkah Mati. In order to master this style at The Lobo Academy, you must first learn the basic strike techniques before grasping the methods of Buah Pecahan. These are much more comprehensive as they involve flowery, artistic yet technical counter-attacking movements.
