 Description

The tradition of pencak silat is primarily oral, having been passed down almost entirely by word of mouth. In the absence of written records, much of its history is known only from mythical and archaeological evidence.

The first fighting arts in Indonesia can be traced back to prehistoric tribes. The primary weapons of the tribal peoples of Indonesia were the single-edged sword, shield and javelin. The inhabitants of the island of Nias, until the 20th century, remained untouched by the outside world, but they are culturally similar to the naga tribe of the Himalayas. It is claimed that the Sumatra left the Nias people alone because they were fearless warriors.

India and China were the first civilizations outside Southeast Asia that Indonesia made contact with, and both countries have influenced local culture, religion, and martial arts.

Bas-reliefs at Srivijaya depict warriors wielding weapons such as the Chinese straight sword or jian, which is still used in some styles today.

Also, Javanese blades are of Indian origin. The earliest evidence that the silat is taught in a structured way comes from the Sumatra-based Srivijaya empire, where folklore has it that it was created by a woman named Rama Sukana, who witnessed a fight between a tiger and a large bird.

By using the animals’ movements, she was able to fend off a group of drunken men who attacked her. She then taught the techniques to her husband Rama Isruna, from whom they were formally passed down. There are several variations of this story, depending on the region where it is told.

On the island of Boyan (Bawean), Rama Sukana is believed to have seen monkeys fighting each other while the Sundanese of West Java believe she saw a monkey battle a tiger. The accuracy of this legend cannot be substantiated, but the fact that the silat is assigned to a woman is thought to indicate her age, considering the prominence of women in traditional Southeast Asian society.

While Srivijaya dominated the coastal areas, the kingdoms of Sailendra and Medang ruled central Java, where the fighting arts developed in three geographic regions: West Java, Central Java and East Java. Pencak silat has especially flourished in Java, which is now home to more diverse styles than any other Indonesian island.

In the 13th century, Srivijaya was defeated by the South Indian Cholas. This was followed by the decline of the Sailendra and Sanjaya kingdoms, but also gave rise to the Majapahit empire.

This was the first empire to unite all of Indonesia’s major islands, and Javanese silat reached its peak under Majapahit. The silat influence from the mainland was consolidated by Ninik Dato ‘Suri Diraja (1097-1198) to create silek or Minangkabau silat in Sumatra.
The Pencak silat was later used by freedom fighters against Dutch settlers. During this time, the Bugis and Makassar peoples of southern Sulawesi were well known as experienced sailors, navigators and warriors.

After Indonesian independence, pencak silat adapted in the context of modern sport and, in some cases, religion. [5] It was eventually brought to Europe by Indus peoples of Eurasian (mixed Indonesian and European) descent, such as Paatje Phefferkorn.
