Pencak silat was practiced not only for physical defense but also for psychological ends.The leading of pencak silat in Indonesia is Ikatan Pencak Silat Indonesia (Pencak Silat Association of Indonesia). The liaison body for international pencak silat is the International Pencak Silat Association or PERSILAT ( Persekutuan Pencak Silat Antara Bangsa).Pencak silat is one of the sports included in the and other region-wide competitions. Pencak silat first made its debut in and, both were held in Indonesia. Contents.Etymology is a collective word for a class of indigenous from the geo-cultural area of, more precisely in the, a region known locally as.

The origin of the word silat is uncertain. The term silat is linked to word silek. Due to Sumatran origin of the language, the Sumatran origin of the term is likely.Although the word is widely known throughout much of, the term pencak silat is used mainly in Indonesia. Pencak silat was chosen in 1948 as a unifying term for the Indonesian fighting styles. It was a compound of the two most commonly used words for martial arts in Indonesia.

Pencak was the term used in central and east, while silat was used in,. In usage, pencak and silat are seen as being two aspects of the same practice. Pencak is the essence of training, the outward aspect of the art which a casual observer is permitted to witness as performance. Silat is the essence of combat and self-defense, the true fighting application of the techniques which are kept secret from outsiders and not divulged to students until the guru deems them ready. While other definitions exist, all agree that silat cannot exist without pencak, and pencak without silat skills is purposeless.The origin of the words pencak and silat have not been proven. Some believe that pencak comes from the word pancha meaning five, or from the term pencha or pungcha which implies parrying or deflecting, and striking or pressing.Other terms may be used in particular dialects such as silek, penca, mancak, maen po or main-po.Dutch East Indian newspapers of the colonial era recorded the terms for martial arts under spellings. These include silat, pencak (spelled in Dutch as 'pentjak'), penca ('pentjah'), mancak ('mentjak'), manca ('mentjah'), and pukulan ('poekoelan').

In 1881 a magazine calls mancak a fencing game 'with long swords, daggers or wood ( mentjah)' These papers described mancak as Malayan ( Maleidsche) suggesting that the word originates in Sumatra. These terms were used separately from silat in the. The terms pukulan or main pukulan (spelled 'maen poekoelan' in Dutch) referred to the fighting systems of Jakarta but was also used generally for the martial arts of other parts of Indonesia such as Sumatra and Lombok. Believed to be a term, it derives from the words for play ( main) and hit ( pukulan).History Origins. Bas-relief of a battle scene at Temple depicting weapons of the time such as the sword, shield, club, bow, and a -like daggerThe oral history of Indonesia begins with the arrival of (lit. Primordial king) from India to Java.

At the request of the local people, he successfully killed the monarch Dewata Cengkar of in battle and took his place as ruler. This story traditionally marks the rise of Java and the dawn of its Dharmic civilisation. The tale also illustrates the influence India had on Indonesian and Southeast Asian culture in general. Aji Saka is shown to be a fighter and swordsman, while his servants are also depicted as fighting with daggers. The Indian method of knife-duelling was adapted by the.

Ancient Indonesian art from this period also depicts warriors mounted on elephants wielding Chinese weapons such as the or straight double-edge sword, which is still used in Java.The earliest evidence of pencak silat being taught in a structured manner comes from 6th-century from where it spread to the Minangkabau capital in. The Minangkabau had a clan-based feudal government. Military officers called hulubalang acted as bodyguards to the king or yam tuan. Minang warriors served without pay.

The plunder was divided among them according to military merit, so fighters strove to outdo each other. They were skilled horsemen with the and also expert bladesmiths, producing arms both for their own use and for export to Aceh. Traditional Minang society was based around matrilineal custom, so pencak silat was commonly practiced by women. As pencak silat became widespread in, the empire was defeated by the Tamil of in the 13th century. The Tamil stick fighting art of is still the most common Indian fighting system in Southeast Asia today.During the 13th century, a thug turned into a self made hero and ruler, took over the power from and established the. This is pretty much reflected the jago (people's champion) culture of ancient Java, where a self made cunning man skillful in martial arts, could rally supports and took over the kingdom.

His successor, the warrior-king conquered the, and other neighbouring areas. From 1280-1289, sent envoys demanding that Singhasari submit to the Khan as Jambi and Melayu had already done, but Kertanegara responded defiantly by scarring the last envoy's face. Kublai Khan retaliated by sending a punitive expedition of 1000 junks to Java, but Kertanegara had already been killed by a vassal in Kediri before the force arrived. His son-in-law replaced Kertanegara as leader and allied himself with the arriving Mongol army.

With their help Raden Wijaya was able to defeat the Kediri forces. With his silat-trained warriors, Raden Wijaya then turned on the Mongols so that they fled back to. The village he founded became the empire. This was the first empire to unite all of 's major islands, and pencak silat reached its technical zenith during this period. In Majapahit, pencak silat became the specialised property of the nobility and its advanced secrets were hidden from commoners.

Colonial era. Warriors armed with in the 1880sThe lucrative spice trade eventually brought colonists from Europe, first the Portuguese followed by the Dutch and British.

The became the dominant power and established full colonial rule in Indonesia. Local revolts and uprisings were common, but all were suppressed by the Dutch armed with guns and cannons. The Dutch brought in even more Chinese workers to Indonesia, which brought a greater variety of local systems. But while the Europeans could effectively overtake and hold the cities, they found it impossible to control the smaller villages and roads connecting them. Indonesians took advantage of this, fighting an underground war through guerilla tactics. Local weapons were recorded as being used against the Dutch, particularly knives and edged weapons such as the, and.During the 17th century, the Bugis people of allied with the Dutch colonists to destroy rule over the surrounding area.

While this increased Bugis power in the southwest, Dutch rule deprived seafaring merchants like the Bugis of their traditional employment. As a result, these communities increasingly turned to piracy during the 17th-18th centuries. Not only was pencak silat practiced by the pirates, but new styles were created to combat them.During the of the 18th and 19th century, the of the colony created the culture of the jago or local people's champion regarded as thugs and bandits by the colonial administration. Parallels can be seen in the jawara of, jagoan of Betawi, and warok in the region of East Java. The most infamous band of jagoan was the 19th century and Si Jampang, experts in Silat Betawi. Traditionally depicted as Robin Hood-like figures, they upheld justice for the common man by robbing from the rich who acquired power and status by collaborating with the colonists. The jago were despised by the Dutch authorities as criminals and thieves but were highly respected by the native and.Modern era Conflict with the European rulers provided an impetus for the proliferation of new styles of pencak silat, now founded on the platform of nationalism and the desire for freedom from colonisation.

The Indonesian Pencak Silat Association (IPSI) was founded in 1948 to bring all of Indonesia's pencak silat under a single administration. The world's oldest nationwide silat organisation, its basis is that all pencak silat is built on a common source, and that less functional styles must give way to the technically superior.

IPSI has avoided the tendency of modern martial arts that gravitate towards sport. The resistance to sport has lessened over time, however, and sparring in particular has become less combative.

While nominally an Indonesian organisation, many of the rules and regulations outlined by IPSI have become the de facto standard for competitions worldwide. Indo-Dutch Eurasians who first began practicing pencak silat in the 20th century spread the art to the west in the late 20th century.Today pencak silat is one of the extra-curricular activities taught in Indonesian schools. It is included as a combat sport in local, national and international athletic events such as the and Indonesia's. Since 2012, the Pencak Malioboro Festival has been held annually and features demonstrations by the biggest silat schools in Indonesia.Weapons. As with most ancient fighting arts, pencak silat historically prioritized weapons over unarmed combat. While this is usually not the case today, all pencak silat schools include weapons to some degree of importance. While pencak silat includes a wide array of weapons, the following are considered standard in all classical styles.

In addition to these, many systems include a specialty or 'secret' weapon taught only to advanced students. Toya: Staff usually made of but sometimes wood or metal. Typically measures 5–6 feet long and 1.5-2 inches in diameter. Tombak/Lembing: Spear or javelin made of bamboo, steel or wood that sometimes has horsehair attached near the blade.: Machete-like chopper, ranging from 10 to 36 inches long.: Heavy cleaver measuring 10-20 inches long. The blade is heaviest in the centre.

Pisau: Any short-bladed knife.: Double-edged dagger made by folding different types of metal together and then washing it in acid. /Celurit: A sickle, commonly used in farming, cultivation and harvesting of crops.

Tongkat/Galah: Short stick or cudgel. Pedang: Sword, most often single-edged and either straight or slightly curved. Usually measures 15-35 inches overall with a blade upward of 10 inches long.: Single-edge longsword with a protruding notch near its tip.: Short-handled trident, literally meaning 'branch'.: A silk that can be used for strangling, grappling and whipping.: A small curved knife resembling a claw.Styles and schools. Further information:Over 150 styles of are recognised in, although the actual number of existing systems is well beyond that.

Older methods are typically identified with specific ethno-cultural groups or particular regions.Riau Much of what constitutes classical Malay culture has its origin in the Archipelago, including the earliest evidence of silat. Referred to as, the regional fighting systems of Riau have influenced nearly the entirety of pencak silat, and into neighbouring. Fighting tactics dating back to the empire persist in today. Wide stances with the front foot turned slightly inward are typical, developed for fighting on Riau's muddy ground, while also preventing the knee joint from being exposed to frontal kicks. Seizing techniques which grab the arm are common. The most prominent weapons in silat Melayu are the staff ( toya) and the spear. Spear forms in Riau usually begin with the blade pointed downward.

Staff technique in silat Melayu of the Palembang area is said to be the best in all of Indonesian pencak silat. The weapon is made of wood and usually measures seven feet long. Fixed hand positions with very little sliding along the staff is characteristic of silat Melayu.Minangkabau. Minangkabau randai performance, incorporating some Minang silek movements.The formed the dominant sovereignty in West Sumatra and make up the majority of Sumatran pencak silat systems.

These styles may be referred to as silat Minangkabau, silat Padang (lit. Field silat), or silek, the local pronunciation of silat. Very few systems in Indonesia have not been influenced by silek, and its techniques form the core of pencak silat throughout Sumatra. It developed as an extension of the original silat Melayu from Riau. Folklore traces this to five masters, namely Ninik Datuak Suri Dirajo from, Kambiang Utan ('forest goat') from, Harimau Campo ('tiger of ') from, Kuciang Siam (') from and Anjiang Mualim ('teacher dog') from. Stealth and ambush were the preferred Minang war tactics, and they were said to be among the best assassins in the world when dispatched singly.

Silek Minangkabau is characterised by its low stances and reliance on kicks and leg tactics. The low stance is said to have developed to offset the chance of falling on slippery ground, common in the rice fields of West Sumatra.

The local practice of paddling rafts with the legs strengthened fighters' lower body muscles. Hand and arm movements are fast, honed through an exercise in which the exponent stands across from a partner tossing sharpened sticks or knives. The practitioner must redirect the sticks or knives and send them back at the thrower, using their hands and a minimum of movements with the rest of the body.There are currently around ten major styles of silek, a few of which like Silek Lintau are commonly practiced even in Malaysia.

IPSI recognises Silek Harimau (tiger silek) as among the oldest pencak silat in existence. Silek Harimau, also known as silek kuciang or cat silek, epitomizes the Minang techniques in that it focuses on crouching and kicking from a low position paired with rapid hand attacks. Sitaralak imitates the power of a herd of stampeding. Developed as a counter to silek Harimau, folklore tells that its practitioners were able to fight tigers.

Sandang is the counter-system to Sitaralak, which defends against powerful attacks by misdirection. Kumango is another characteristically Minang system in its kicks and footwork.

Its frequent thigh-slapping and -like redirection maneuvers indicate both Indian and Chinese influence. Silek Tuo is considered by some to be the oldest Minang system due to its name meaning 'old silek', but others claim it traces to the freedom fighter Tuanku Nan Tuo after whom it was named. All the classical pencak silat weapons are used in silek but the most prominent Minang weapons are the pedang (sword), tumbak (spear), (dagger), (longsword), (sickle), payung (umbrella), (claw), and various types of knives.Java From, pencak silat quickly spread eastward into the Javanese and where the fighting arts developed in three geographical regions:,. Today is home to more styles of pencak silat than any other Indonesian island, and displays the greatest diversity of techniques. Many Javanese schools such as and have been established internationally in Asia, Europe and America. Or 'white dove' style was developed in the (royal courts) of 17th century and was not taught publicly until 1963. Today it is the standard unarmed martial art of the.

It includes weapons but focuses more on empty-handed self-defense and the development of internal strength developed through. Pencak silat in Java draws from traditional and Hindu-Buddhist but after Indonesia's independence, some schools have adapted themselves in the context of modern religion. Among the most popular modern styles is the Muslim-directed. An evasive long-range system, it requires constant movement as the practitioner rotates on their own axis every few seconds. Similarly the Setia Hati school is Christian-organised. Rooted in silek Minangkabau of the area, it relies on kicks and footwork while the hands are mainly used defensively for blocking and parrying.Sunda Java's western region was the first area from which pencak silat spread out of Sumatra.

The pencak silat of may be called silat Sunda or silat Bandung. In the they are generically referred to as penca (dialect form of pencak), ameng, ulin or maen po (from the word main meaning 'play'). Ameng is the more respectful term, while ulin and maen po are of lower speech levels. Sunda systems are easily identified by the prefix ci (spelled 'tji' by the Dutch). Pronounced 'chi', it comes from the Sundanese word cai meaning river water, alluding to the fact that they were originally developed in river-basin areas. The deep, wide stance and resulting gait attests to this, owing to the practice of carefully placing the feet from a lifted position onto wet ground.

Today, systems of Sunda derivation prefixed with ci are found even in the high plateaus and mountain ranges of both West and Central Java. Penca instruction was traditionally done through apprenticeship, wherein prospective students offer to work as a servant in the master's house or a labourer in the rice fields. In exchange for working during the day, the master provides the student's meals and trains during the evening. Penca is characterized by reliance on hand and arm movements for both attack and defense. Compared to other Javanese systems, Sunda styles have less frontal contact with the opponent, instead preferring to evade in a circular manner and attack from the side.

In one form of training designed to practice circular evasion, victory is attained simply by touching the opponent's torso. Fasting and were traditionally used to heighten the senses for this purpose.The oldest styles of penca were based on animals and movements of farming or tending the fields. IPSI recognises Cimacan (tiger style), Ciular (snake style), and Pamonyet (monkey style) as among the oldest existing pencak silat. Cimacan is said to have been created by a Buddhist monk. The most prominent system of West Java is penca Cimande, first taught publicly by a man named Embah Kahir in Cimande village of the area around 1760.

Cimande among the isolationist is said to be much older than Embah Kahir, and is believed by many masters to be the original penca of West Java tracing back to. Cimande is a close-quarters system, with the elbows held close to the body. Students begin by learning to fight from a seated position before they are taught footwork. Arms are traditionally conditioned through smashing, by concentrating the force of the blow into the wrist. Cimande always assumes there is a minimum of three enemies, but advanced students may spar with up to twelve opponents. As a defensive art, Cimande has no lethal techniques. The town of - seen as the heartland of Sunda culture - is associated with a few systems, the most prominent of them being Cikalong or bat style.

Borrowing its technical base from Cimande, Cikalong was founded by Raden Jayaperbata after meditating in a cave in the Cikalong Kulon village. While Cimande may attack with either the fists or open hands, Cikalong prefers the latter. Prominent Sunda weapons include the toya (staff), (forked truncheon), long-bladed (machete) and heavy (cleaver). The advanced weapon is the piau or throwing knife.Betawi. Silat Betawi demonstration inAmong the of, the pencak silat tradition is rooted in the culture of the jagoan or jawara, local champions seen as heroes of the common people. They went against colonial authority and were despised by the Dutch as thugs and bandits.

Silat Betawi is referred to in the local dialect as maen pukulan or main pukulan, literally meaning 'strike-play'. The most well-known schools are, Kwitang,. The acrobatic monkey-inspired Cingkrik is likely the oldest, the name implying agile movement. The art is said to trace back to a monkey style of attributed to Rama Isruna after his wife observed the actions of monkeys.

A student of this kuntao named Ki Maing later expanded on the system after a monkey stole his walking stick. Is highly evasive; blows are delivered as a counter after parrying or blocking, and usually target the face, throat and groin. Attacks mimic the grabbing and tearing actions of monkeys. Kwitang also employs evasion and some open-hand strikes but its focus is on powerful punches with the fist tightly-closed at the moment of impact, mainly targeting the centreline.

Force is concentrated into the knuckles of the little and ring finger. Attacks are made with a curved arm; the elbow is never fully extended so as to prevent being caught in a joint lock., meaning 'defense of four directions', is credited to a man named Lie Cheng Hok. It is distinguishable from other Betawi systems by its close-distance combat style and lack of offensive leg action. Silat Betawi includes all the classical pencak silat weapons, but places particular emphasis on the (machete), (chopper), toya (staff), and pisau (knife). Kwitang practitioners are said to be the best fighters in Indonesia. Bali Following the invasion by Demak, many families of the Majapahit empire fled to Bali. The descendants of the Majapahit were traditionally resistant to outside influence and as a result, the people of Bali often make a distinction between 'pure' Balinese pencak silat and styles introduced from outside such as Perisai Diri.

The native systems - known locally as pencak - are ultimately rooted in those of Java, and preserve tactics dating back to the Majapahit empire. They are less direct than other styles, characteristically favouring deception over aggression. Hand movements are used to distract, and openings are deliberately exposed to bluff the opponent into attacking. This approach requires that exponents train their flexibility and stamina. As with Balinese warriors of the past, modern pencak practitioners in Bali often wear headbands as part of their uniform.There are about four main systems considered purely Balinese. The most prominent of these is, which is firmly rooted in the old of. Another system which has gained prominence is Seruling Dewata meaning 'God's flute'.

Purported to date back to ancient times, it recognizes the Indian Buddhist monk as the first patriarch, though not its creator. Eka Sentosa Setiti (ESSTI) was the first pencak silat association officially founded in Bali. Created and practiced in the island's south, it draws heavily from southern. The primary stance is the ting posture of kuntao, also the main stance of Japanese.

ESSTI keeps membership low and does not permit outsiders to view sparring matches. Finally, the Tridharma style is practiced in northern Bali. It utilizes circular hand movements and straight kicks. The ESSTI and Tridharma schools often exchange students so cross-training between the styles is common. All Balinese pencak schools traditionally keep sportive contests and performance to a minimum in order to emphasise combat effectiveness.Bugis-Makassar The ( Ugi) and ( Mangkasara) are two related maritime groups from. The Bugis in particular were renowned navigators and shipbuilders, but also feared as corsairs and slave-traders.

Both the Bugis and Makassarese were famous for piracy, though this was more common among the former than the latter. As sailors for whom the knife is a vital tool, Bugis and Makassar combatives (known locally as silat) favour blades. The primary weapon is an indigenous knife called the. Other weapons include the (dagger), (machete), (forked truncheon), and the mandau (cleaver). Silat in Sulawesi is closely tied to local animism, and weapons are believed to be imbued with a spirit of their own. Hand and arm movements are designed to be adaptable for use with a knife or with the empty hands. Attacks with the fists or open hands can be modified with a pinching action of the fingers, which has its origin in the pinch-grip of the badik.

Bugis styles ( silat Ugi) are based on these hand and arm movements and contain only limited kicks, almost all of the linear variety. The Bugis kekuda is identical to the southern Chinese. Styles from southwestern Sulawesi generally come under the Makassar category ( silat Mangkasara). Chief among them are the -influenced tiger style Karena Macang and the kick-based Manca Tonaja from southern Sulawesi, which is believed to have Minang roots. The mangrove swamps and rocky inlets along the coasts of Sulawesi served as hiding places for pirates, so silat among the Bugis and Makasar community makes use of and defends against ambush. Countering surprise attacks is the specialty of Silat Tapu, a secretive system taught only to experienced practitioners.Aceh Located on Sumatra's northwest coast on the westernmost tip of the archipelago, Aceh was the first port of call for traders sailing the Indian Ocean.

Local culture and weapons (particularly knives) show distinct Indian-Muslim derivation. Unlike the more typical rattan shield, the Acehnese buckler is identical to the Indian, made from metal and with five or seven knobs on the surface. The Acehnese are recorded by both Indonesian and European sources as being the most warlike people in all of Sumatra, and this is reflected in the highly-aggressive nature of their pencak silat. Acehnese pencak silat borrows its foundation from silat Melayu and silek Minangkabau, particularly the arm-seizing techniques of the former and the ground-sitting postures of the latter. Bladed weaponry is favoured, specifically knives and swords. The primary weapon is the, an L-shaped dagger used mainly for thrusting but also for slashing.

The is used as well but the native rencong takes precedence.Batak Batak land is situated between the Minangkabau to the south and Aceh to the north, and the culture shows both Indian and Chinese influence. The word refers to a number of ethnic groups originally from the mountains of. The term typically refers to the while others may explicitly reject that label, preferring to identify themselves by their specific group.

Batak silat is known by different names in each community, namely mossak (Toba), moncak , ndikar and dihar. Mossak is the most commonly-used due to the Toba being the most numerous. While each style is distinct, all share similar characteristics and weaponry. The Batak were historically in a near-perpetual state of warfare with their neighbours, so warriors trained daily for combat. Training was either done outdoors or in the balai, a building in the specifically made for combat practice. Batak silat is primarily armed, employing such weapons as the spear, single-edge blade, and a short-bladed knife known as the raut. The raut is similar to the both in appearance and in its pinch-grip.

The most common target is the opponent's midsection. The weapon is held loosely and used in an upward or downward hacking motion. Once the raut has pierced the enemy, the fighter pushes the knife further in with a palm strike. Unarmed techniques are derived from silek Minangkabau, as the kicks and footwork are well-suited to the mountainous Batak country.Maluku Pencak silat in the uses a wide variety of weaponry, some of which are indigenous to the area. The particular specialty of Moluccan silat is the (forked truncheon), pisau (knife), and the wooden or metal galah (staff).

The local pedang (sword) is long-bladed and associated with female fighters. On, particular emphasis is placed on one-legged stances. This tactic was developed for fighting in the ankle-deep sands of the islands, allowing the exponent to use both kicking and eye-gouging techniques simultaneously.Bajau The are a seafaring people of. Often nomadic, they were traditionally born and raised on longboats at sea although this is increasingly exceptional as the community has been forced to settle on land in recent decades. Colonial records often mistook them for pirates but - unlike the neighbouring Bugis - the Bajau lacked the organization and technology for piracy. In fact, they more often clashed with pirates than engaging in raids themselves.

Their main and often only weapon was the fishing spear, which functioned as a hunting tool on land. The Bajau utilized a wide array of these harpoons as weapons both thrown and unthrown. Their aim was impeccable, having been honed by fishing and hunting. The spear may be of nibong wood or, single-pronged or three-pronged, barbed or unbarbed, and tipped with wood or steel. Contact with the southern and the of Borneo allowed the Bajau to acquire other weapons through barter, specifically swords, shields, lances.

The most notable Bajau style of pencak silat is centered in. It is characterized by cross-legged stances and rapid turning, designed to be used in cramped spaces such as boats.Techniques. Disarming aGeneralizations in pencak silat technique are very difficult; styles and movements are as diverse as the Indonesian archipelago itself. Individual disciplines can be offensive as in Aceh, evasive as in Bali, or somewhere in between. They may focus on strikes ( pukulan), kicks ( tendangan), locks ( kuncian), weapons ( senjata), or even on spiritual development rather than physical fighting techniques. Most styles specialize in one or two of these, but still make use of them all to some degree. Certain characteristics tend to prevail in particular geographical regions, as follows:.

Kicks -,. Hands/Arms -,. Grappling -,. Strikes (hands and feet) -,Stances and steps Students begin by learning basic body stances and steps. Steps or langkah are ways of moving the feet from one point to another during a fight.

Pencak silat has several basic steps, known as langkah 8 penjuru or 'eight directions of steps'. Traditional music is often used as a signal to change body position when practicing langkah.Langkah are taught in conjunction with preset stances, meant to provide a foundation from which to defend oneself or to launch attacks. The most basic stance is the ( kekuda or kuda-kuda), which provides stability and firm body position by strengthening the quads. Other stances may train the feet, legs, thighs, glutes and back. Other essential stances are the middle stance, the side stance, and the forward stance. The crawling tiger stance, in which the body is kept low in a ground-hugging position, is most common in Minang silek. Stances are essentially a combination of langkah, body posture, and movement.

Through their correct application, the practitioner will be able to attack or defend whether standing, crouching, or sitting down, and alternate smoothly from one position to another. When the student has become familiar with stances and langkah, all are combined in forms or jurus.Forms.

A jurus in Silat BetawiForms or are pre-meditated sets of steps and movements used for practicing proper technique, training agility, and conditioning the body. Repetition of jurus also develops muscle memory so the practitioner can act and react correctly within a split-second in any given combative situation without having to think. Either armed or unarmed, jurus may be solo, one against one, one against several, or even two against more than one. Forms involving more than one practitioner are meant to be performed at the speed of an actual fight. Real weapons are used in the case of armed jurus, but are sometimes unsharpened today.

The kembang (lit. 'flower') aspect of forms consists of fluid movements with the hands and arms resembling traditional. As with Korean, these movements are preparation for defending or reversing the opponent's attack.

Musical accompaniment provides a metronome to indicate the rhythm of motion. For example, the beat of a drum might signify an attack. Those not aware of the combative nature of these moves often mistake the forms for dancing rather than the formalized training of fighting techniques. Offense Pencak silat uses the whole body for attack. The basic strikes are the punch ( pukul) and kick ( tendang), with many variations in between. Strikes may be performed with the fists, open palms, shins, feet ( kaki), elbows ( sikut), knees ( dengkul or lutut), shoulders ( bahu), or the fingers ( jari).

Even basic attacks may vary depending on style, lineage, and regional origin. Some systems may favour punching with the clenched fist, while others might prefer slapping with the palm of the hand. Other common tactics include feints ( tipuan) or deceptive blows used as distraction, sweeping ( sapuan) to knock the opponent down, and the scissors takedown ( guntingan) which grips the legs around the opponent.Defense Defense in pencak silat consists of blocking, dodging, deflecting, and countering. Blocks or tangkisan are the most basic form of defense. Because pencak silat may target any part of the body, blocks can be done with the forearms, hands, shoulders, or shins.

Blocking with the elbows may even hurt the attacker. Attacks can also be used defensively, such as kneeing a kicking opponent's leg. Hard blocks, in which force is met with force, are most suitable when fighting opponents of the same strength or lower. Styles that rely on physical power favour this approach, such as Tenaga Dasar. To minimize any damage sustained by the defender when blocking in this way, body conditioning is used such as toughening the forearms by hitting them against hard surfaces.

In cases where the opponent is of greater strength, evasion ( elakan) or deflections ( pesongan) would be used, and are actually preferred in certain styles.International competitions The major international competition is Pencak Silat World Championship, organised by PERSILAT. This competition takes place every 2 or 3 years period. More than 30 national teams competed in recent tournaments in Jakarta (2010), Chiang Rai (2012) and Phuket (2015).List of World Pencak Silat Championships.The championships have been referred to under different names:World Pencak Silat Championships or World Silat Championships or Pencak Silat World Championships.
