Pencak silat is a broad description of martial art in Indonesian.
Just like the Chinese called martial art as kungfu
Unlike the more dynamic TKD or karate, the main stream pencak silat looks so boring and slow.
The interesting part is when you train it in the advance level, some of them combine it with a spiritual teaching/religion or philosophy or breathing technique :icon_wink:

pencak silat can be performed as an art...dancing (slow, boring), and the fighting (fast, lethal)
to watch the dancing is "boring", imho that is...
doing it (pencak silat) demands a lot of muscle control, streangth, co-ordination and such, so the training part can't be boring.
but as it is for kids, then it's all about who's teaching them...(boring-factor depends on how something is teached/learned).

Watched a chinese movie last night where a kungfu guru has a boxing match with an Englishman (with gloves)..in the end the chinaman wins by poking him in the eyes.The crowd was so proud of his win..Then again the pom was a complete arsehole
