Some time ago someone from a tangent subject asked me a question on what
martial art allowed what some would call "blind fighting" that is when
blindfolded tha person could still engage in combat and even function
normally as well as read... Well as most things go I missplaced the
info....(attributed it to my kids trying a new filing system on me)but
allas it was my fault I just found the info placed in my to do section....

Location: Jakarta, Indonesia
Name: Marpati Puti (White Dove)

Marpati Puti was orginally designed 400 years ago for the Crowned Princess
of the Mataram Kingdom, then handed down from generation to generation
among the women of the royal family. Since it is designed for women it
requires no great physical strength. But with proper technique and
concentration, students can channel energy to build an explosive force,
enough to break cement blocks and metal bars. It is now being used to help
the blind to learn to see by sensing vibrations and achive a higher state
of awareness. Our bodies can be trained to absorb and visualize all
vibrations around us.

If anyone finds out more on this subject please get in touch with me.....
