The Myth of Maempo Cimande - Pukulan Cimande Pusaka

Originally, Cimande was using long distance fighting techniques, i.e. the fighter would stand
within a distance of a few feet from the opponent, which will make it possible for the fighter to
dodge opponet's attack. The distancalso makes it dominant for counter attacks. In launching
attacks, every fighter (pesilat) should always pay close attention to position of feet or stance
and keep a certain distance from the opponent. The use of Kuda-kuda pipih (flat stance?) can
easily be adjusted/increased in speed or frequency, as one can expect an opponent to strike
with a fast punch or kick within a distance. Therefore one need to adjust one's own speed in
order to level with the opponent. In essence, jurus (moves) of Cimande is devided into : Kelid
(dodging) Cimande, Pepedangan (sword fight) Cimande and Tepak Selancar(?). Kelid and
Pepedangan are self defense techniques whereas Tepak Selancar is a demonstrative art moves
(accompanied with pencak drum beats).
