A must for anyone who want to learn authentic Pencak Silat. A teacher who is trully a passionate of his art, super kind with high skills. I was sad to not have more time to spend with Gusman... This is a school to learn the ART of Silat, not focused on the sport aspect. A practice to better one's life in many ways.
Can't wait to comeback to Bali to train more! I hope to find some place on my travels that offer the same quality of teaching.
Thank you Gusman!

Thankyou very much for your hospitality and taking the time to meet with us , it was such a privilege to train with you, Juju and I are looking forward to another session in the near future. If any martial artist is in Bali looking to train, I highly recommend Gusman Wiranata to learn new techniques to add to your skillset.

Master Gusman thank you for generously sharing your valuable time and knowledge with us. We had a wonderful time training with you and appreciate you opening your lovely home to us. We highly recommend Jero Taman Bali to anyone interested in Balinese Silat.

When I needed something to change my life, I journeyed to Bali for my first time with little idea of what I would find and no experience in any form of Silat or what I may find there, but for what a friend had experienced many years before me. I was greeted with open arm's, the next 2 months training with the Bakti Negara Pencak Silat family was amazing! Everyone I met was happy to share with me no matter the language difficulties. I will always have them in my heart. I now travel to Bali to be with this, my 2nd family, as often as I can. It changed my life. Thank you to all my brothers and Guru's I will see you soon. Suksma!

Keep Taman Bali is a beautiful place to visit. Gusman Wirinata is a wonderful host & incredible teacher of Silat Bakti Negara. I highly recommend anyone visiting Indonesia to go there. I can't wait to go back!

I just trained with Guro Gusman and as a martial arts and Silat teacher myself it was a privilege to meet him, train under him and spend some time together at his place. He is an expert and a knowledgeable, generous and humble man. His system is a real traditional and effective indonesian pencak silat. I'll be back next year for sure to continue to learn from him!

I am very new to Silat and was in Bali for a couple months. Gusman happily gave me lessons every other day and it was amazing. He is a great teacher and now friend. The self defense Silat he teaches is amazingly effective and an impressive art. I will be going back as soon as possible!!!

Master Gusman thank you for an amazing experience! I am still dizzy from the footwork drills 😂 I highly recommend anyone who is interested in Silat to visit master! It's a relaxed one on one situation and his knowledge is first class. At the end of class you get to drink my new favourite drink ginger tea which his mum makes for us and she is a lovely lady! There is also a couple of cute dogs one in particular talks while we practice! 😆 if you want an authentic training experience then visit here.

I had an amazing traning session with Gusman. He showed me some of the basic footwork of pencak silat. He gave a signed copy of his book explaining the history and basic forms of the art. If you want to explore this art, I highly recommend Gusman as his english is very good! I hope to train with him more in the future. Thanks you sir!

I was in Bali last year hoping to find a Silat school that would allow me to train with them. I have trained Silat in the UK alongside JKD and Kali. Silat is not our main focus, so I am still very much a new student to the art. I found Gusmans school and sent him an email, unsure if he would teach me. He quickly replied offering me a lesson and I gladly accepted. Gusman is an excellent teacher, very talented martial artist and a really nice guy. He made me feel welcome and I learnt so much in the time I spent with him. If you are lucky enough to get a chance to train with Gusman, take it. You will come away with new skills and an amazing experience. Terima Kasih Gusman.

I had a great time training with Gusman and learning some of the highlights of Bakti Negara Silat, Gusman immediately adapted to my level and has a great level of martial arts ability! I can not recommend him highly enough and I have trained in various systems and under various "masters".... I find that Gusman is the real deal a real master of his craft.

I am a martial arts enthusiast with many years of experience in Krav Maga, Aikido and other techniques. After much research before arriving in Bali for vacation, I found Gusman and he was kind enough as to give me some of his time to teach me Silat. He is an amazing teacher, very patient and has a great place where he teaches his martial art. I strongly recommend Gusman when visiting Bali and wish to learn a great self defense martial arts system.

My experience training with Gusman Wirananta was very positive. He is not only a great martial artist, but also a great teacher, as well as a very nice person. Gusman is warm and friendly. I was treated with great hospitality, as was my family. The techniques that I was shown were all obviously very effective fight-stoppers and the principles behind the techniques are solid. Gusman made sure that I was really understanding how each technique worked as he was teaching me. I have come away with techniques and movements that I continue to work on in my practice of martial arts. I can strongly recommend Gusman and Pencak Silat Bakti Negara to anyone interested in down-to-earth effective martial arts and self-defense. I only wish that I lived closer and could train there all the time. Training with Gusman was by far the highlight of my entire trip to Bali, which is saying something because it is a truly amazing part of the world.

I have studied silat since I was 15 years old, and teach privately sometimes. But I have always wanted to train in Indonesia, and to have the opportunity to experience silat as it was made to be experienced. Luckily, I chose Wiranata Gusman, and could not be happier. Not only is he a master martial practitioner, but he is also a wonderful human being, and strives to make his students feel totally at home. I'm pleased to have had the opportunity to train with him, and proud to now consider him my friend.
