The Malay Art of Self-Defense: Silat Seni Gayong
Silat Seni Gayong is an art of self-defense, a fighting art but one that also emphasizes the development of the self, becoming a better person, and serving humanity. Sometimes compared to a tiger ready to devour its prey, Gayong helps practitioners develop and increase physical fitness, flexibility, mental conditioning, and self-confidence. Author Sheikh Shamsuddin, who has studied Gayong for 25 years, introduces this little-known practice to Western readers in this first book on the subject in English. The most comprehensive study in any language on Gayong and its customs, The Malay Art of Self-Defense explores in depth the system, techniques, crucial elements, and philosophies involved. Also covered are the art’s history, profiles of the most notable practitioners, and an informative Q&A collected from various martial art practitioners to expand readers’ knowledge and appreciation. Included are photos of Gayong demonstrations, traditional training centers, customs, and events..

Kashkoal (Past-Present-Future)
The patriarch of the Azeemia Order. Mr. Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi poses a critical question for those readers and disciples who wish to explore his way of thinking: Why, he asks rhetorically, among the unnumbered commentaries and sayings left by sages, scholars, and philosophers over the ages do we find so many contrdictory and conflicting opinions? He then goes on to answer his own question by pointing out that if men knew the Supreme Truth of the one true God, instead of clashing, their ideas, teachings, and theories would flow in seamless harmony and agreement to the glorious benefit of mankind. The divisions and deceptions caused by false teachings and the higher forms of knowledge that hold the promise of a solution form the central thesis of this book. It is a matter, Shaikh Azeemi teaches, of entering the unseen world of the spirit veiled by the visible but deceptive world of materiality. In a fascinating series of points and counterpoints grounded in a solid Quranic teachings, Mr. Azeemi advances inexorably to his final synthesis: the way of the world is the way of human failure, but the divine pathway of enlightened spiritual wisdom leads to redemption, happiness, and human fulfillment..
