Selagi ku masih ada (dalam kata-kata Abang Syah) semangat orang muda, ku akan terus memperjuangkan Tapak Suci secara khusus dan Pencak Silat secara umum. Tapak Suci adalah kehidupanku, mengisi hari dan malam ku.

It's not easy. So many trials and tribulations. So much disappointment. So little moments of triumphs and vindication. Yet I would persevere for I know not a different way of living.

Kejurnas TS 2014 at Solo was incredible. True, during the competition itself I was too focused and pressured to ensure the smooth management of our team. Different language, lots of new faces, TS unique rules, but the atmosphere, the camaraderie, the competitive standard, meeting my idols, my masters, friends old and newly forged.. This was much much better than Kejurnas 2004 Batam. But then, I was younger, I was sick, I was lovestruck, 10 long years ago.

I'm gonna keep this momentum going for as long as I can. I've learnt so much, can't wait to share with all my students and my peers.

For better or worse, Silat and specifically Tapak Suci is part of my DNA. And I love it.
