In Minang usage, pencak and silat are seen as being two aspects of the same practice. Pencak was the term used in central and east Java, while silat was used in Sumatra and Borneo. It was a compound of the two most commonly used words for martial arts in Indonesia. Pencak silat was chosen in 1948 as a unifying term for the Indonesian fighting styles. The liaison body for international pencak silat is the International Pencak Silat Association or PERSILAT (Persekutuan Pencak Silat Antara Bangsa).Ĭolonial era Modern era Weapons Styles and schools Riau Minangkabau Java Sunda Betawi Bali Bugis-Makassar Aceh Batak Maluku Bajau Techniques Stances and steps Forms Offense Defense International competitions List of World Pencak Silat Championships All-medal table 2015 medal table Asian Pencak Silat Championships 2011 medal table 2016 medal table World Sports School Pencak Silat Championship 2016 medal table World 5x5 Silat Championship South East Asian Pencak Silat Championship Other See also References Further reading External linksĮtymology Although the word silat is widely known throughout much of South East Asia, the term pencak silat is used mainly in Indonesia. The leading organization of pencak silat in Indonesia is IPSI (Ikatan Pencak Silat Indonesia, meaning Pencak Silat Association of Indonesia). Pencak silat was practiced not only for physical defense but also for psychological ends. Every part of the body is used and subject to attack. It is a full-body fighting form incorporating strikes, grappling and throwing in addition to weaponry. In neighbouring countries the term usually refers to professional competitive silat.
