The term 'silat' is actually referring to any form of martial arts in the nusantara archipelago. The fact is there are so many different styles since it is originally developed by families/clans. In one area of Indonesia, there may be dozens of styles that are still survive currently. These styles is originally passed on from generations by parents to their son/daughter.
@@jesussmanait7486he wrote a little too generally. And personally i would write about the malay archipel. Would be more correct. Silat has a lot of styles and lineages. Yes. But there is not only Silat. Kun tao for example is there often too. Some silat and some FMA lineages has some similarites. But FMA is FMA and every lineage is different. Like Silat.
Hello, I did read if you do Pencak Silat, is that correct? I am just started with Pencak Silat (Bongkot-style) and it is very new for me. I just have done e couple lessons and I am looking for good videos to learn faster the basic from Pencak Silat (Bongkot style), do you know good videos wich can help me to learn faster Bongkot-style techniques? I know if there are a lot of Pencak Silat styles and I like to learn the correct techniques. Can you or someone please help me with this?

@@wanaziz2277 people want to change the origin of Silat, Let them believe it, We practice it and protect our families, Everything don't need to argued about, There will always be people who tries to change things,
thanks for the good video and promoting Silat I attended my first Silat seminar back in 1997 with Herman Suwanda (R.I.P.) and at that time almost no one that I talked to knew what it was, so I love that it's becoming more well known, also those movies you listed are some of my favorites
Ive been thought in silat to and in my opinion it is one of the sickest styles that exist, and u remind me of bruce lee cause he says add what is usefull , discard whats useless to you and grow from there , sweet video sify amy ;) ❤
Learning silat means you're learning how to turn yourself to be a weapon to kill in a quick way with your bare hands or weapons because silat is a warfare martial art, survive or die... that's the rules. I dont know what people outside of my region in southeast asia think about silat when they learn it but for me who knew the history of silat, it was created to kill enemies in battlefields. That's why when you learning silat here, your teacher or guru of silat will always remind you not to misuse or show off with your silat. Never start a fight or to get into fights only to protect and war. However, if you learn the real silat for warfare which is the origin of silat it will take years to mastered it then you can kill people in the matter of seconds with or without weapons.
A nice documentary. I have two points to argue. 1. The Majapahit empires never reached the shores of Malay Peninsular (now Peninsular Malaysia) because there were already strong governments there such as the Kedah and Melaka Kingdoms. Srivijaya did. 2. Pencak silat most probably did not originate only in Indonesia. What we call Silat (in Malaysia) or Pencak Silat (in Indonesia) is an umbrella term that encompasses hundreds, if not thousands, of fighting systems. Many did originate from Indonesia, but many also originated from all areas in Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Brunei, Philipines, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Burma). Some of these systems are inter-related but there are those that are completely disparate.
the origin of pencak silat, don't be searching in the era of Srivijaya & Majapahit. trace in the Mataram kindom and the Sunda kelapa kingdom, when it was still influenced by Hinduism-Budhaism. Borobudur temple (budhaism) has a relic of the Mataram kingdom, there is a war relif, which refers to the pencak silat. even the Shaolin monks exchanged knowledge by visiting the Borobudur temple at that time. almost all of the kingdoms in Southeast Asia, many had been influenced by the Srivijaya kingdom Srivijaya was famous as a skilled sailor, before going abroad on the sea, they were equipped with "silek", besides trading they spread silek it is not strange mention the basic of pencak silat in Southeast Asia comes from the the Srivijaya kingdom. At majapahit kingdom era, majapahit army under "gajah mada", used to be equipped with semar coins for strength, relics of the army can still be found in Kalimantan, Vietnam & Thailand.
I'm sorry to burst the bubble about how strong Malay Peninsular is, but Majapahit was an empire of 98 tributaries, stretching from Sumatra to New Guinea, consisting of present-day Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, southern Thailand, East Timor, Sulu Archipelago and other parts of the Philippines is a fact. I know sometimes the truth hurts.
The early form of silat originated from a martial art called "Sundang," which was created for the elite warriors of Majapahit. Sundang Majapahit is a martial art created by Mahesa Anabrang, combining techniques from the Singasari and Dharmasraya kingdoms. It also uses both swords and keris, with different styles for various combat scenarios: Sundang Gunung (Mountain) for defense, Sundang Kali (River) for offense, Sundang Laut (Sea) for conquest, Sundang Angin (Wind) for infiltration, and Sundang Matahari (Sun) for protection. Sundang Kali spread to the Philippines, influencing the development of "Kali Majapahit" This is the truth that not many people know or don't wanna know, they have just speculated that silat came from the Malay region, but no one has ever clearly identified its exact location
Silat = martial arts in malay language Pencak = martial arts javanese language Because of heavy influence from two biggest kingdom in Sumatra and Java island, Indonesia mixed the word of Pencak and Silat as "Indonesian Martial Arts"
@@redbaron1953 no, both pentjak and pencak are javanese language, pentjak was an old romanization, javanese originally used aksara letters, the romanization began in colonial era. Same as "jadoel" to "jadul"
Actually I saw something like this in the raid to sell it technique is very unique and very powerful just like karate and taekwondo and Muay Thai in judo in many other forms of martial arts to I actually looked at the raid in The raid 2 it's one of my favorite martial arts and action movies of all if I ever get into taekwondo I'll try to get stronger and do better 🥋🙏😌🙏🥋
Indonesia ..., - each local tribes have their own War Dance and weapons. - from west to east, we will find that the east weapon's more longer than the west.
great overview and break down of Pencak Silat! Appreciate it very much. I am a student/teacher under Cecep in Houston, TX, if youre ever in town please feel free to stop by. Best!
F**k yeah 🐼 💘 my bad for cursing in your class professor lol this video is awesome I loved it, the only exposure I've had to Silat has been your short film The gate and Iko uwais in the movies, we don't have Silat In NYC 🍎😢 so thank you for this lesson I learned so much more about it. One of the NYPD officers we work with has some knowledge on the Karambit but hopefully Silat comes to NYC soon. You're the best champ 🏆.
It's already here bro! I'm in North Jersey and I teach Silat under Willem de Thouars (I'm the only authorized instructor in the Mid-Atlantic region). It was his family that introduced Silat to the USA back in the 1950's. I leave you to research him, but it's no exaggeration to say he's world famous and recognized as one of the greatest living Silat masters (go see what Dan Inosanto has to say about the de Thouars family and their system). If you decide you'd like to know more, just reach out and I'll be happy to share.
Ramsey Yunan brother thank you so much for blessing me with a reply and also a resource to train in it in the near future, I work corporate security for a living and I was a bouncer for 10 years here In NYC where I still reside, I love Amy Johnston cause of her versatility in different arts which is something she inspired to pursue. Can i find you on FB or Instagram? God bless you brother and thank you for your contributions to the arts 🐼.
Throughout centuries Silat is well guarded martial art, you don't teach others outside of your circle. Every village,area, province has their own style. Thanks to the modern age and media exposure anybody in the western world can learn silat. The best way to learn is from its source, the place where Silat origin from, that is the Malay Archipelago ...
@@Malik2008nobody can say where its really come from. And just from historycall conext in would make more sense, that countries with contact to mainland has first contact than isalnds.

Have you heard of "chintya candranaya" I've been subscribed to her for maybe 3 years, and I've been intrigued with what the type of style her and her group use.
almost- 9 minutes of fun to watched video here. 😊 if i may add lil, that various ethnicity in Indonesia got their own 'style' of Silat ie. Moksa : Silat by Batak Tribe historically speaking.

There was a video on here before that was called "beauty of pencak silat" that had the black & white parts of this vid in it like the part at the 1:21 mark & 1:48 mark. It's not on here anymore. Does anybody have it to put back on? There's one called "The Beauty of Pencak Silat - Gita Arifin" but it's not the same as the other that isn't on anymore.
nowadays silat(the one that spread around the world) are mostly a modern stlye of silat(focusing in defense) , the original traditional silat are too dangerous that even gurus in here doesn't teach their students the traditional silat moves, it's mostly designed to trick the opponent into thinking that we are dancing but actually preparing for a quick silent kill(assassin class style) silat was developed around times when the dutch tries to colonized Indonesia
Very cool vidéos, I would like to try some lessons of silat, Like you say, the mouvements are very impressive and cool, I discover with the show human weapon ^^
hekko Amy nice video I recently became aware of Silat through u-tube i like the foot work sweeps contoling the balance of the attacker be my placment of attack or defence, I currently study Uiechi --ryu ( Panginoon) Uechi is from Okinawa wax on wax off , close in style very similar Tjhank you
Originated in *Nusantara* back then there's no indonesia, malaysia, singapore & brunei. We are under one roof with different era from srivijaya, majapahit, malacca & johor
Hey Amy! OMG I practiced Pencak Silat too! ╰(*°▽°*)╯ only three years. I didn't know about the Gate movie, it's awesome you have worked with Cecep Rahman! I got to catch this movie!!
I felt like your descriptions of some martial arts feel generic and could use a better emphasis on their specific signatures. If you're going improvisational carry, I get it. But otherwise, it feels like 70 percent rambling and somewhat unstructured
Pencak silat itu nama resmi nya Silat itu nama panggilan dari pencak silat Jadi pencak silat dan silat itu sama Beladiri khas Indonesia yg menyebar ke seluruh Asia tenggara
Pencak Silat, Indonesia Origin, No Else, IPSI / Ikatan Pencak Silat Indonesia (Indonesian Pencak Silat League) since 1946, the oldest pencak silat organization in the world who organize the many pencak silat genre in Indonesia
Amazing action sequence. WoW!! Gurukulam communication are also promoting kalaripayattu the traditional art form of kerala must visit & Suggest us. Thank you .
Krav maga is true definition of mixed martial arts. they just took it and combined all the moves from different martial art (and i believe they took silat too) and adapted to make more effective for self defense.
Silat is malay martial art, originality from nusantara (indonesia, malaysia, brunei, Philippines).. Philippines people dont know they from same roots, islam and malay, until spain king philip ii go there, no more majority islam n malay forget. Now only brunei malaysia indonesia singapore still declare we are malay with silat
actually there's no relation between Islam and silat, you can come to borobudur temple and see pencak silat illustration on the wall, so we already know silat way before Islam period
@@wartimekillers muhammad period, islam from adam untill now. Thats why Muhammad teaching come to nusantara without war,. Cause people already follow the same belive but they may follow prophet before that (not deviate).
@@pocopongpong7948 only historical evidence of Islam existence is since Muhammad's period. There's no evidence of Adam or his beliefs, except for self proclamation by the Muslims. The original silat was way before that and had spiritual essence and salutations to the sun which is far from Islamic teachings. Today's silat especially in Malaysia have discarded all those spiritual elements and modified it in accordance to Islamic teachings. The word Nusantara was derived from Sanskrit so it make sense where the spiritual influence came from. The word Malay didn't exist that time and don't get confused with Malay Archipelago which is not just referring to the malays in Malaysia today. Nevertheless silat is a beautiful ancient martial art.
@@pocopongpong7948 no brother Islam came to nusantara by way of trade and Arab missionaries giving dawah and spreading diyn'allah...but silat was born there ..Islam came after...now there are Muslims who teach silat but to call it a Muslim martial art is not correct...
I like that you made a video about Silat. But you need to dive in deeper. There are some facts which are wrong. And its too generally. But perhaps you learn more about this Martial Art. All the best.
Pencak Silat and Silat Are Very Different Because: 1. Pencak silat from Indonesia (registered in UNESCO as a cultural, artistic and spiritual tradition) 2. silat from Malaysia (registered in UNESCO as a sport developed by Malaysia) Pencak silat from Indonesia was designed to kill in dance because during the colonial era, Indonesians were prohibited from learning any martial arts. That's why if you delve deeper into pencak silat you will be able to learn a killing technique that is only taught by a trainer if the trainer feels you are more mature and responsible. But silat from Malaysia is a sport. note: You can find out the truth that pencak silat and silat are very different through UNESCO
@Atlas the Assassin I'm from Indonesia, actually pencak silat or silat comes from Indonesia, Malaysia only claims our culture, Malaysia has recognized many of our cultures,
@@Malik2008 Oh yeah How did Hang Tuah beat your Majapahit champion ??? Indonesia is king of claims Hang Tuah became the sultan's constant aide, accompanying the king on official visits to foreign countries. On one such visit to Majapahit, Hang Tuah fought a duel with the famed pendekar Taming Sari. After a brutal fight Hang Tuah emerged as winner, and then Singhavikramavardhana, the ruler of Majapahit, bestowed upon him Taming Sari's kris or dagger. The Keris Taming Sari was named after its original owner, and was purported to be magical, empowering its owner with physical invulnerability.

of the two (knifey) martial arts which one do you prefer? Escrima or Silat?
Both
Hey Amy! OMG I practiced Pencak Silat too! ╰(*°▽°*)╯ only three years. I didn't know about the Gate movie, it's awesome you have worked with Cecep Rahman! I got to catch this movie!!
When you said "having faith", what if someone is faithless? Would that affect his/her training session? Would Pencak Silat work?
I think it would affect some of the ritualistic aspects, but as long as the teacher is open to it, it does nothing to hinder the fighting.
May be just silat, not pencak.
Everyone has something they believe in even atheist! Like believe in yourself! ;)
I’m sure Bruce Lee knew about Silat right?
Can you do a video on Krav maga please?
Amy your cool I would love to study silat I study kali and wing chun and jkd. Silat I will, study I like it coz it's real
I felt like your descriptions of some martial arts feel generic and could use a better emphasis on their specific signatures. If you're going improvisational carry, I get it. But otherwise, it feels like 70 percent rambling and somewhat unstructured
What's the difference between Silat and Pencak Silat?
same
@@azizii614 not same
Teknic Silat use for killing and teknic pencak use for show
seni silat - form, lock and grip, flow
pencak silat - speed, strength, showy act
Both are useless in real life
Pencak silat itu nama resmi nya
Silat itu nama panggilan dari pencak silat
Jadi pencak silat dan silat itu sama
Beladiri khas Indonesia yg menyebar ke seluruh Asia tenggara
Silat from indonesia
Pencak Silat, Indonesia Origin, No Else, IPSI / Ikatan Pencak Silat Indonesia (Indonesian Pencak Silat League) since 1946, the oldest pencak silat organization in the world who organize the many pencak silat genre in Indonesia
U can learn it if ur over 30?
You forget John Wick film

Amazing action sequence. WoW!! Gurukulam communication are also promoting kalaripayattu the traditional art form of kerala must visit & Suggest us. Thank you .
Guys I have a question, why krav maga similar to silat
Krav maga is true definition of mixed martial arts. they just took it and combined all the moves from different martial art (and i believe they took silat too) and adapted to make more effective for self defense.
Silat is malay martial art, originality from nusantara (indonesia, malaysia, brunei, Philippines).. Philippines people dont know they from same roots, islam and malay, until spain king philip ii go there, no more majority islam n malay forget. Now only brunei malaysia indonesia singapore still declare we are malay with silat
actually there's no relation between Islam and silat, you can come to borobudur temple and see pencak silat illustration on the wall, so we already know silat way before Islam period
@@wartimekillers muhammad period, islam from adam untill now. Thats why Muhammad teaching come to nusantara without war,. Cause people already follow the same belive but they may follow prophet before that (not deviate).
@@pocopongpong7948 only historical evidence of Islam existence is since Muhammad's period. There's no evidence of Adam or his beliefs, except for self proclamation by the Muslims. The original silat was way before that and had spiritual essence and salutations to the sun which is far from Islamic teachings. Today's silat especially in Malaysia have discarded all those spiritual elements and modified it in accordance to Islamic teachings. The word Nusantara was derived from Sanskrit so it make sense where the spiritual influence came from. The word Malay didn't exist that time and don't get confused with Malay Archipelago which is not just referring to the malays in Malaysia today. Nevertheless silat is a beautiful ancient martial art.
@@ronny6x like china dont refer to chinese?
@@pocopongpong7948 no brother Islam came to nusantara by way of trade and Arab missionaries giving dawah and spreading diyn'allah...but silat was born there ..Islam came after...now there are Muslims who teach silat but to call it a Muslim martial art is not correct...
there were 2 type..
1. Seni silat
2. Pencak Silat
Art and full body contact... 🤗
What the difference
Silat Melayu
@@kyokusanagi5961 hoaxxx , bulshit malaysia claim everytime
Ifan Fadly Firdaus bullshit?hahahah indon enggak mau terima kenyataan dong.
and kempo fushi of raul gutierrez
When you'll be showing Capoeira ?
Reaction video is Chintya candranaya please..
You are missing the originator of all martial arts
#Kalaripayattu check it out
I like that you made a video about Silat. But you need to dive in deeper. There are some facts which are wrong. And its too generally. But perhaps you learn more about this Martial Art. All the best.
Pencak silat is very similar to kung fu 🤔.
hapkido and ninjitsu.
Pencak Silat and Silat Are Very Different Because:
1. Pencak silat from Indonesia (registered in UNESCO as a cultural, artistic and spiritual tradition)
2. silat from Malaysia (registered in UNESCO as a sport developed by Malaysia)
Pencak silat from Indonesia was designed to kill in dance because during the colonial era, Indonesians were prohibited from learning any martial arts.
That's why if you delve deeper into pencak silat you will be able to learn a killing technique that is only taught by a trainer if the trainer feels you are more mature and responsible.
But silat from Malaysia is a sport.
note:
You can find out the truth that pencak silat and silat are very different through UNESCO
@Atlas the Assassin I'm from Indonesia, actually pencak silat or silat comes from Indonesia, Malaysia only claims our culture, Malaysia has recognized many of our cultures,

Oh yeah
How did Hang Tuah beat your Majapahit champion ???
Indonesia is king of claims
Hang Tuah became the sultan's constant aide, accompanying the king on official visits to foreign countries. On one such visit to Majapahit, Hang Tuah fought a duel with the famed pendekar Taming Sari. After a brutal fight Hang Tuah emerged as winner, and then Singhavikramavardhana, the ruler of Majapahit, bestowed upon him Taming Sari's kris or dagger. The Keris Taming Sari was named after its original owner, and was purported to be magical, empowering its owner with physical invulnerability.
@@TheMan-xp4cbhang tuah tidak ada hubungan nya dengan lahir nya silat lol...
Silat itu dari Minangkabau Sumatera barat
Bukan dari hang tuah
@@alwingen8886
Siapa kata silat bermula dari Hang Tuah ???
Dari mana Hang Tuah belajar silat ???
I am saying if silat is from Indonesia dari mana dia belajar silat
Silat also exists in Thailand, Singapura, Brunei & Filipina
Silat pre dates Indonesia
Begitu lah Indonesian trying to claim what is not theirs
@@TheMan-xp4cb silat berasal dari bahasa Minangkabau yaitu "silek" namun orang Sumatra bagian Utara dan Riau lebih menyebut nya silat
Kalau hang tuah dia belajar silat dari orang bugis
In malaysia its silat but idk why they call pencak silat
Dalam dunia ni banyak bahasa. Itulah sebabnya.
Karena aslinya silat berasal dari Indonesia lalu menyebar ke seluruh Asia tenggara
pencak silat is similar to filipino martial arts.
martial art Silek Tuo is very danger
PENCAK= name martial art in java island
SILEK/SILAT=name martial art in sumatra island
so....!
INDONESIA island "PENCAK SILAT"
Mbak nya cantik ya teman2?
The history stated by her is not entirely accurate..but good try though thanks for the video.
The definition are not clear about pencak silat...
Ketika Malaysia klaim pencak silat...gw cuma bisa ketawa...INI NEGARA MAUNYA APA SIH?😂
Janganlah memecah belahkan melayu, malaysia juga amalkan silat kerna nenek moyang mereka amalkan juga,nenek moyang mereka ini juga ada yg dari indo juga lo...kamu ngak baca sejarah yg dahulu banyak sekali orang jawa,sumatra,bugis pindah ke malaysia.....
Mohd Mukriz Rahman di lestarikan ya??...kok di klaim ke unesco?😂plis lah jgn bikin gw ketawa terus 😂
@@mohdmukrizrahman5467 melestarikan ya boleh tapi jgn nak klaim, you punya kerajaan akan daftarkan ke unesco itu pencak silat bhwa pencak silat aseli dari malaysia, kenapa???, ipsi 1946, pesaka 1983, sudah kelihatan siapa yg lebih memiliki pencak silat sesunguhnya
Dimana ada orang melayu disitu ade silat..
Silat milik NUSANTARA.
Kerana penjajah,
Hubungan kita berpecah
Dahulu Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapura, Selatan Thailand, Filipina Barat, semuanya dikenali sebagai NUSANTARA
🌅🌅🌱🌱🌱🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Is that a Muslim Martail arts 🎭
Indo/Malay Muslims do practice that martial art but It predates Islam.. so calling it a Muslim martial art is inaccurate...
Yup it came from malay archipelago and they revert to islam when arab and indian muslim trader came to trade,so it is muslim's martial art
Silat from Malaysian not Indonesian
afif sama silat from Somalia!!
Achmad Hanif stupid

Pencak silat is from Indonesia...and ada sejarahnya...bukan kaya kamu asal klaim aja
