PROFILE
The Founder and Chief Instructor
Guru Glenn Lobo started training in martial arts at the age of 9 studying judo, tae kwon do, 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, but also did some training with Nino Bernardo, he has attended seminars with Cass Magda, and Guro Dan Inosanto, Abner Pasar, and Krishna Godhania, and trained alongside other of the next generation legends.
In silat Glenn started training in silat with Jak Othman. Described by Dan Inosanto as similar to Bruce Lee, as a man ahead of his time, Jak was the pioneer of silat in Britain. Glenn 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 on hand to assist him. After the competition Jak left Glenn to train with another group of silat people, and that was his introduction to Silat Lincah. He has also trained in Holland with arguably the foremost expert in silat in Europe, Pa Flohr, of Pukulan Madura.
Over the years, Glenn attended and competed in 3 World Championships, 3 European Championships, Singapore Open, and Thai Open Championships, and was 4th in the World Championships, and 3rd in the Europeans. He was also the first British International Wasit/juri (referee).
Guru Glenn has been teaching silat in Britain and throughout Europe since 1986, and is THE person to train with to learn genuine realistic fighting arts of Malaysia. |
