History of Pencak Silat



Hello guys ! How are you ? In these sites, there are many explanation about pencak silat. Are you curious ? Ok, I will tell you a little bit about pencak silat. The official name used to indicate more than 800 martial arts schools and styles spread across more than 13,000 islands in Indonesia is called "pencak silat". However, this is actually a compound name consisting of two terms used in different regions. 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, whereas the term "silat" or "silek" is used in Sumatra.
I think it's enough. I'm sure you are still curious, so check this out !
