About Us
Join us and experience Pencak Silat, the traditional martial art of Indonesia, known for its dynamic combination of self-defense, fitness, and cultural heritage. Our training sessions include a blend of fighting fitness, technical self-defense drills, bag work, form training, and sparring.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned martial artist, everyone is welcome—no prior experience is required. We encourage people from all backgrounds to join us in building physical and mental strength through this unique martial art.
Originating in the Malay Archipelago, Pencak Silat has evolved over centuries, shaped by local wisdom and customs. It's more than just a martial art—it's a reflection of the rich cultural history and community values of Southeast Asia.
