PENCAK
SILAT THE CULTURAL AND HISTORY OF INDONESIA
Pencak silat is a traditional
Indonesian martial art. Silat is thought to have spread since the seventh
century or during the reign. Silat has kicking, and dodging moves. Some of the movements of
silat there are images of animal movements, such as snakes, monkeys, and birds.
Pencak Silat other than as ordinary martial arts common in the Palang Pintu show for the wedding of Betawi people. Even I
am not from the Betawi tribe, if I get
married, I will show the Pencak Silat.
In ancient times, the kingdom had
a martial arts warrior to protect the kingdom and face war. The famous silat
swordsman of his story until now is PITUNG warrior of Betawi. If you saw the movie about him, you would
have enjoyed it. Pitung is a warrior from Rawabelong village, West Jakarta.
Legendary story of pitung is because he is a defender of truth in the face of
injustice committed by the Dutch colonizers. In his story is told that he is
the most sought after by Dutch Company because he has stolen their property to
be distributed to the villagers because in ancient times we know how the
invaders treat the natives.
For someone who comes from
ordinary citizens of course he is a very brave person. Unfortunately we can’t
know him directly. Maybe if we lived at
that time, we would have known him. But now he is just a legend that we can
find in the movie. If you didn’t
remember the story, you would have watched the movie. Or you can visit the
museum House of Si Pitung Marunda.
House of Si Pitung Marunda Jakarta
is located in Kampung Marunda Pulo street, Cilincing North Jakarta. Some people
assume that this house is the residence of Pitung. But apparently this house
belongs to a wealthy merchant stolen by Pitung. The house is nuanced Bugis from
Sulawesi. Inside there is a typical home furnishings dominated betawi bambo and
fishing equipment. There you will feel the atmosphere of life Betawi ancient. If you had the chance, you would have to
visited there.
We as the nation of Indonesia
should be proud of our own culture. And never stop to preserve our diverse
cultures. Feel free to learn about every culture we have. Never be ashamed to
introduce our culture to other countries. Do not let our children and
grandchildren do not know their own culture. And if I have a child, I will tell to learn Pencak Silat. So do you and
us and our successors will not forget the history and culture of this
beautiful.
