Introduction To Pencak Silat

Pencak Silat is a traditional Martial Art which has its roots from the Malayan & Indonesian archipelago.

It translates to "fighting by many techniques of self-defence"

There are four main components – Mental Spirit Art & Culture Self-Defence Sport. The large varieties of techniques that can be used in

Pencak Silat encapsulate its uniqueness.

Benefits of Introducing Pencak Silat In Schools

Pencak Silat is a form of martial art that will instill discipline and self-esteem in the students.

It will also improve the student’s confidence and focus. As we are promoting Pencak Silat to all races, this will improve

inter- racial cohesion among the students. Schools will bask in glory when students do well in Pencak

Silat competitions. In future, Pencak Silat students may be selected to represent

Singapore in inter-school games. (MOE, Malaysian Invitation) Schools will be able to use the Pencak Silat students for

performances at schools’ and national events.

Safety Aspect of Pencak Silat

We are promoting basic self-defence techniques in schools, placing great emphasis on artistic skills and movement.

We take safety VERY seriously: ALL instructors are First-Aid certified and hold a

minimum of National Coaching Accreditation Programme (NCAP) Level1. NCAP is an accreditation given by SSC to National Coaches.

Basic combat and self-defence techniques will be taught to the students.

Coaching mitts and padding will be used during training. There will be NO sparring and exchanges of blows among

the students until they reach a certain degree of proficiency for upgrading of belting system

What is needed to have Pencak Silat started in my

school? Singapore Silat Federation will provide the coaching

expertise. A liaison teacher to assist in liaising between the school

and the Pencak Silat Coach. Any open space will do, e.g school hall,
