HISTORY OF PENCAK SILAT Pencak Silat is derived from words "Pencak" and "Silat. The word "pencak" and its dialectic derivatives such as "penca" (West Java) and "mancak" (Madura and Bali) is commonly used in Java, Madura and Bali (Indonesia), whereas the term "silat" or "silek" is used in Sumatra (Indonesia). In modern usage, pencak and silat are seen as being two aspects of the same practice. Pencak is the performance aspects of the martial art, while silat is the essence of the fighting and self-defense. It is often said by practitioners that there can be no silat without pencak, on the other hand pencak without silat skills is purposeless.[2] Although the word silat is widely known through much of South East Asia, the term pencak silat is specifically used in Indonesia. The martial art "Pencak Silat" spread to several countries in south east Asia like Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and other. Even now it has spread to many countries in the world, like Australia, USA, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Japan, Arab countries and others. The names of Association Pencak Silat as national organization in the several countries of south east Asia, namely: Ikatan Pencak Silat Indonesia (IPSI), Persekutuan Silat Kebangsaan Malaysia (PESAKA), Persekutuan Silat Singapura (PERSISI), Persekutuan Silat Kebangsaan Brunei Darussalam (PERSIB), Pencak Silat Association of Thailand (PSAT) And Philippine Pencak Silat Association (PHILSILAT). Pencak silat plays an important role in Indonesia's history. Since the age of ancient Indonesian Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms like Srivijaya, Majapahit, and Kingdom of Sunda, these kingdoms used pencak silat to train their soldiers and warriors. Archaeological evidence reveals that by the sixth century A.D. formalized combative systems were being practiced in the area of Sumatra and the Malay peninsula. Two kingdoms, the Srivijaya in Sumatra from the 7th to the 14th century and the Majapahit in Java from the 13th to 16th centuries made good use of these fighting skills and were able to extend their rule across much of what is now Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. In the tradition of Minangkabau of Sumatra, Silek (Minangkabau martial art ) can be traced to the fore father of ancient Minangkabau people, Datuk Suri Dirajo. It is said that according to old Javanese poetry, Kidung Sunda, the sentinels of the Prabu Maharaja Sunda exhibited great skill in the art of pencak silat when they escorted Princess Dyah Pitaloka to Majapahit as a potential bride for King Hayam Wuruk, and faced indignities that greatly affronted their honour. In a battle that ensued at the Bubat field (1346), the Sundanese forces fought to the last drop of blood, using special pencak silat moves and various weapons. Albeit the pencak silat styles employed in combat were different, we can still draw the conclusion that in Javanese kingdoms throughout the archipelago, pencak silat served the same function: to defend, maintain or expand territory. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pencak_Silat#Etymology www.silatma.com/silathistory
