Does anyone here study Poekoelan. I study Tjimindi Teii, but I am aware of other systems. It's not purely Chinese... but this is the closest forum I could find.
If there are... with whom do you study? What system do you study? Do you have any interesting stories. Because of the sad past of the art within the US, few schools speak highly of one another. I would like to work to get past this barrier.
Thank you.

Poekoelan, also spelled "pukulan," like Kung Fu, is just a general referance to Indonesian systems of combat art. However, Poekoelan Tjimindi Teii, is a combination of Southern Chinese animal forms and those animal forms that already existed in the Indonesian system.
The animal forms studied in the Tjimindi (Cimande) system of Poekoelan are Crane (Blecock), Snake (Oler), Monkey (monjet), Tiger (Harimau & Matjenin)), and Dragon(naga).
The animal forms studied in Teii are Mantis, Cobra, and Bear.
The system was brought to America (western PA) by Mas Guru Willy Wetzel. He was an amazing instructor who taught many students. There is, however, discrepancy over how many experts he trained. It is impossible to know as he, tragically, died at the hands of his Son. Offically the courts ruled it self defense. However, there was an unsurmountable rift created by the students of each.
That's all I am prepared to say about the rift in an open forum setting. There are two reasons for this. The number one reason is that I wasn't even alive when all of this happened. Therefore, it is not my place to blame either party or take sides. I just know it was a terrible tragedy. It is my goal to find some of the remaining Poekoelan masters and work to mend the rift. The first step is simple communication. The heart of the art is too beautiful to retain such an ugly scar.
You may notice some spelling differances. This is due to the differance in using Dutch vs. Indonesian spelling. The third site is from a series of schools that stem from the teachings of Mas Guru (Goeroe) Barb Niggle. She is highly influential in the history of Poekoelan in America as she was the highest ranking student of the art when Guru Wetzel died.

If you have any more questions about the art, please feel free to ask.

Sorry,
Never heard of this style before.
See some pic and movement, I think that is
more likely to be Indonesia martial art though
I would not deny if there is any exchange of
system during its creation

Well, from the few videos i was able to examine, i'm not impressed by this art. A lot of 'bad' principles are being encouraged.
