WHAT DOES SILAT MEAN IN MALAY?
Silat
Art Silat or Pencak Silat is one of the martial arts of Malay or Nusantara that has been practiced for centuries. The age of a martial arts or genealogy can not be elaborated in detail and precisely because there is no attempt to study from the authorities in depth. Some estimate that this art has been hundreds of years old and is passed down from generation to generation. These include martial arts practitioners in Brunei, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Those who learn silat are called the pesilat. The practice now, the teacher or the silat teacher is called the coach and one who inherited the flow of a teacher called the Primary Master of the stream. Most silat teachers now reject the Mahaguru title because for them the title 'maha' is only suitable for God and it meets the statue of martial arts who normally love to hide their skills and very humble. Senior seniors who have long been involved in martial arts as the instructors, are highly skilled and some of them inherited some of the lost streams being held as Old Parents and are highly respected.
