Tuntutlah Kalian Jangan Terlambat
Akhirat Juga Kembalinya Kita.
HISTORY OF SILAT SETIABAKTI
The art was derived from 10 different silat styles of the 'external' & 'internal' system. Perguruan Seni silat Setiabakti was then registered in 1994. The syllabus in Silat Setiabakti is categorised into three main area, Silat Beladiri (Self Defense), Silat Seni ( The Art ) and Silat Olahraga ( Sports Combat). The Art and Techniques of Buah Pukulanin Silat Setiabakti was selected from the most functional from the 10 styles of silat by Guru Dahlan. These techniques had been researched and developed by Guru Dahlan after scrutinizing all possible angles to make it easier in understanding and practical in everyday situation. The syllabus taught at Perguruan Seni Silat setiabakti is kept RINGKAS (Simple) MUDAH (Easy to learn, understand) and BERKESAN (effective).To date Guru Dahlan has taught more than 1000 students and of many nationalities from around the world.
VISION/AMBITION
Guru Dahlan vision is to spread Setiabakti nationwide and the world. Pertubuhan Seni Silat Setiabakti is ever ready to teach Silat Setiabakti to any martial artist, silat or non silat who wishes to open up their own silat school in their area and will also accept any invitation to teach the art to university students, children, young adults, man or women, armed forces, clubs and organizations whether they have or not, any exposure to silat before. Guru Dahlan's hope is that Seni Silat Setiabakti can expand its wings worldwide,alongside the Malaysian Silat Schools that have achieved worldwide acknowledgement and recognition . With God's willing, Guru Dahlan also hope that with little step taken by Silat Setiabakti may contribute in exposing the credibility of Seni Silat Melayu to the eyes of the world.

Z.A.D.D INSTRUCTOR email: pendekarzadd@gmail.com
Azlan Azman born in 1967, Ipoh, Perak to a family servicing in the Malaysian Royal Police Force, became interested in martial arts since little by watching his father and both grandfathers practicing Silat Polis daily. Got his nickname Ninjasan since primary 2 (age 8yrs) till now among friends. Married to Zurina (the person who support his enthusiasm, also sparring partner for techniques improvement) blessed with a daughter, Natasha (completed 'khatam' the cane technique of Setiabakti-Srikandi at the age of 8yrs old) and a son, Danial (undergoing training in Setiabakti & Tae Kwon Do)
Set up Z.A.D.D Martial Arts Centre in 2006, registered with Registrar of Companies (Malaysia) in 2007. Training is often done publicly at the field in PJS 9/14 (Community Recreational Playground-KRT PJS9) in Bandar Sunway, Training is done openly as requested by Guru Dahlan, so the public can see the beauty of Silat, get interested and then join the training to preserve one of the Malaysian unique martial art style and the Malay culture.Besides that it is also to erase the public (esp Malays) stereophonic view on silat as a black art. There is no black magic or stuff like it in ZADD and by publicly practicing making it very transparent to all on the art of silat by ZADD.
Involvement in martial arts started in his school days as a practitioner of Tae Kwon Do. From there he started his journey in the Martial Arts World. Received acknowledgement as an instructor for Silat Setiabakti in 2004.
