Rank In General

Rank in Pukulan Cimande Pusaka is valid only if it is directly certified and sanctioned by Pendekar Sanders. If you have rank in other system or it was given by someone else you are more than welcome to join the Distance Program, learn any material that you might not have been taught and then demonstrate your skills by testing to upgrade your former rank.

This means everyone is a student of Pendekar Sanders and he can talk freely to anyone, no politics and no secrecy. Students in the distance program talk directly to him via the forum.

There are no promotions for those who don’t deserve it and rank will mean something.

Level 1 - Guru Baharu Emas

Guru Baharu means literally "teacher new" but in Indonesian the modifier goes second unlike in English so Guru Baharu is "new teacher". Emas literally is "gold" but in this context it is meant as "golden new teacher" since your talents and your abilities will shine and they are rare and precious as gold.

• The material can be purchased in any order that you like and you can buy 1 dvd at a time or as many as you like at a time.

• If you are in a study group and learning from someone else you must have your own paid copy of the required materials. By doing this we can make sure that you are a learning the material directly from Pendekar Sanders with no alterations. The exception to this rule would be for families that live and train together. In that case one set of required material is fine.

Notes

Testing

To test you will submit a DVD demonstration of your understanding of the required material. Some tests will also include a written portion that will be emailed to you.

At the start of the DVD please state your name clearly and the material that you are testing on.

You should then demonstrate the techniques from several angles and at several speeds so that both combat effectiveness and subtle details can be clearly seen.

You should include some partner drills so that your level of judging distance, timing and speed can be clearly seen.

Grading

Within 2 weeks of viewing your work Pendekar Sanders will send you detailed comments and scores on your presentation and whether you have passed that test or not.

Each test is graded very specifically using the following categories

Overall understanding of the material
Execution of the techniques
Footwork
Back hand position
Flow
Partner Work
Overall impressions

Each category is graded from 0 to 100 and is then averaged. If you get under an 80 on any category you are asked to retest. A 70 may be ok in the class in high school or college for a bare minimum pass but not with us. We want more out of our students.

Not Passing

If the student fails the test on the first time Pendekar Sanders will allow a repeat testing after the student has studied the test evaluation papers and has worked on the suggested material. There is no charge for the second testing.

If the student fails a second time then the fee must be repaid for the third try.

Passing

Once the student passes all of the tests that are required for that certification they will be awarded the rank, given a certificate signed by Pendekar Sanders and allowed to test for the next level.
