Pencak Silat

Pencak Silat is a martial art stemming in the majority from Malay & Indonesian heritage. It translates to "fighting by many techniques of self defence" and has four main components - mental spirit, art & culture, self defence and sport. The whole aspect is considered and all elements are paramount during competition. It can be practised purely for fitness, for aesthetics or with martial arts focus. The large variety of techniques that are deployed in Pencak Silat encapsulate its uniqueness.
