  • I am an Indonesian muslim and I know for sure that Silat predates any religion in Indonesia. It's not belong to single religion. Even here in Indonesia we never said it muslim MA.

    Silat created in (now) Indonesia, in the island of Sumatera and Java centuries before the arrival of any religion. Tribal wars forced some people from Sumatera and Java to migrate. They moved to other places including peninsular SEA (now Malaysia), brought Silat with them.

    Hindus of Bali also practicing Pencak Silat.

  • Its probably more accurate to say that Silat is Malaysian or Indonesian, as opposed to attributing it to being Muslim. Saying that Silat is Muslim is like saying that boxing or freestyle wrestling is a christian martial art or that Krav Maga is a Jewish one. Sure it might attract many muslims, but in that area of the world, Islam is popular, where also buddhists and hindus commonly practice Silat.

  • @chokiejae

    O yeah? How come? Aren't TKD, Karate, Aikido, Capoeira, Muay Thai, Kalaripayattu, Wrestling comes from traditional martial arts too?

    The muslim labels coz its spread among muslims only at the very beginning of its invention ..

  • @TrifelgePutinard muslim or arab never bad lab for jew christian but why jew christian doing fun bad image bad lab for islam?? i dont understand

  • @ballsoffury4 Your a have a religion yourslef. We dont have extremist views. In Islam we dont support killing like terrorism. If you dont Like Muslims no need to watch this video. But learn about Islam first before you speak. Because ignorance also feeds the flames of war. Why do you think so many people hate westerners today? its due to their ignorance and greed. Remember when the IDF bombed Lebanon. Muslims died to. But Israel existed before. all euro jews were sent there as refugees

  • @TrifelgePutinard Hey im a Muslims. I know alla the advancements Muslims have made that contribute so much to this world.
