I'm posting an episode from the 1993 TV series, Raven, mirroring the airdate from 23 years ago.


Enjoy!





Background:

Jonathan Raven (portrayed by Jeffrey Meek) is a ninja, former member of the Black Dragons clan and also a former Special Forces agent. Now he lives in Hawaii, helping those in trouble and searching for his long-lost son, while avoiding assassins sent to kill him by the Black Dragon clan. Herman 'Ski' Jablonski (played by veteran TV actor, Lee Majors), an extravagant private investigator and Jonathon's best friend, is helping him.



This Episode:

Raven and three other agents receive instructions to murder a former Special Forces assassin, unaware that a rogue agent who was once responsible for training Jonathan is the one who has activated them.

IN MEMORY OF: Herman Suwanda (Feb 10, 1955 - March 21, 2000)

With kind permission from Guro Mike Casto of Anjing Gembala Pencak Silat, sharing his favorite story of Herman Suwanda.

Loved Pak Herman.

Here's my favorite story from my personal experiences with Pak. Through a combination of youth and stupidity (redundant, right?) I cut my left index finger badly a couple of days before attending a seminar with Pak Herman.

At the seminar, Pak taught some Cipecut. I sat out. Pak came over and said, "You love Cipecut. Why aren't you training?"

I showed him my bandaged finger and said, "Cut myself a few days ago, don't want to risk getting it caught in a sarong and ripping the stitches out."



Pak shook his head and said, "This is why you should not touch the sharp part of the blade."

LOL :D RIP, Pak.


My sincerest condolences to Bapak Suwanda's loved ones, students, associates and friends.
