Documentary Quote by Gareth Evans
“Growing up either from classes or watching movies I knew, of course, about kung fu, karate, aikido, Muay Thai... But the first time I saw Silat was when I was working on that documentary - the first time I properly saw it. I was just struck by the fact that it looks so different from other martial arts.”
