Tales from the Mat will be shown exclusively on the Golden Light Studios and WoMA websites, and is a great benefit of becoming a gold member. Tales from the Mat is a mysterious and engaging series about the life of Pendekar Steven Benitez and his martial arts academy. The name Pendekar is a title given to those who have achieved the highest levels of mastery in the Indonesian Martial Art of Pencak Silat. In days of old, warriors who performed a feat of bravery and lived to tell the tale, would have the name bestowed upon them. Even if in these modern times we seldom if ever fight these kinds of battles, there sadly exist precious few who demonstrate the true Pendekar spirit. Men that can not only exhibit an almost mystical level of martial skill, but also demonstrate an ability to heal and show a true compassion for all humanity are worthy of this honour. One such man that has earned this accolade by 4 separate Silat lineage holders from Indonesia is Pendekar Steven Benitez. Before becoming a true warrior Steve faced many battles in his youth, from his harrowing background growing up on the mean streets of Stonebridge, to his underground Triad fights at only fifteen years of age. We follow his spiritual journey in this life changing series through the great tests of becoming a Pendekar, raising a family, running a martial arts academy, and filming Dark Eden the Epic Martial Arts Trilogy.
