Silat Cekak
Seni Silat Cekak is a Malay art (Seni) of self defence (Silat) which
is genuinely original and can be counted upon to preserve life. It is
not a style of silat which is ceremonious in nature used for perfomances
at traditional Malay weddings such as Silat Pulut or Silat Pengantin.
As such, Silat Cekak does not have any musical accompaniment such as
the traditional Malay drum or Gendang and does not perform graceful
dance-like movements for public amusement such as Silat Pengantin. In
fact, Silat Cekak does not utilize any evading nor side stepping techniques,
whether to the left or right, in mortal combat. It deals with hostile
aggression head on. Thus, Silat Cekak is a combat oriented art.
Seni Silat Cekak contains original techniques which has never been altered
ever since it came into being as a system of self defence. The system
consists of hitting and maiming techniques (buah pukulan) as well as
a complete array of body and limb locking techniques (buah kuncian)
in its arsenal of fighting manouvers.
Being complete and unique, this form of silat does not use nor imitate
techniques from other systems of self defence be it local or foreign.
Silat Cekak is deeply rooted in the principles of Islam. The fighting
techniques used in this system of silat utilizes natural body movements
based on a sound state of mind and a peaceful disposition.
Furthermore, the teaching of Silat Cekak has been simplified and systematized
to facilitate easy learning. In accordance with Islam too, this system
of silat emphasizes defence rather than offence to instill a spirit
of courage as well as patience. In effect, a violent and aggressive
nature is not a part of Seni Silat Cekak . Only under extreme circumstances
where life is at stake will the student of Silat Cekak take the offensive
and initiate an attack..
