Poekoelan: It's not as unknown as you might think

In all of the time I've studied Poekoelan, I have had it drilled into me that Poekoelan is not a well known art. It is not as prolific as Judo, nor is it as well recognized as Tai Kwon Do, or any of the other big, well know, Martial Arts. So you can imagine my shock, (and delight) to find another practitioner in the Austin area last year. We met and talked a few times, and practiced together once or twice, and then never heard from her again.

Then, to my utter amazement, in a casual conversation with my neighbor I mentioned Rose and River, and that we teach Poekoelan Tjimindie Kung Fu, and watched him almost have a heart attack. It seems he studied Poekoelan in Ohio before he moved to Austin. Poekoelan is out there, you could have a practitioner living next door to you, and never know it.
