Pencak Silat is the broad term for the martial arts of Indonesia. (Pencak) refers to fluidity, or Bungah flower movement. (Silat) refers to the self defense application of the movement. It is a warriors system for Physical, Mental, and Spiritual health. In Indonesia usually every village and every family practice a form of Pencak Silat. For centuries the secrets of this well guarded mystical, magickal martial art have been practiced behind closed doors by practioners of the Royal Courts. It is still very hard if not impossible to find a (Traditional) Pencak Silat School in Indonesia. I say traditional, because in some areas and organizations they are turning Pencak Silat into a sport. Real, Authentic, and Traditional Pencak Silat was practiced by families and villages for survival as a way of life. Not for Sport! Training consists of solo and partner practice, using percussion instruments (Gamelan) as background music. Techniques and training vary with different styles, but some common training aspects include; Jurus (upperbody), Lankah (lowerbody), Bungha (flowerdance), Sambutan (fighting), Ilmu (magick), Kebatinan (spiritual), and a variety of Weapons, including the Keris (Indonesian Pusaka).
Pukulan Cimande Pusaka (PCP) is a style of Indonesian Pencak Silat developed and taught by Pendekar William Sanders. Pencak Silat is a general term used to describe martial arts that come from the island nation of Indonesia.
"Pukulan" denotes "hitting" or "striking". "Cimande" is a well known style of Pencak Silat in Western Java "Pusaka" can be translated as "sacred heirloom".
Pukulan Cimande Pusaka is a full-range martial art. It includes the use of several edged and impact weapons, fighting while in a grounded position, grappling and multiple opponents training. The style of fighting is distinguished by free flowing, writhing movements, off-timing, integrated footwork and draw stance strategies. It is also characterized by a close fighting position and fast continuous hitting. The strategy is to close with the opponent such that it is possible to sweep them to the ground in a violent way, then follow this attack with some kind of finishing technique. There is heavy emphasis on attacking the limbs of the opponent, and delivering fast disorienting strikes to the face, followed by more substantial strikes to the head and body.
Style Content
The style is organized around the use of five primary animal techniques- monkey, tiger, snake, crane and dragon.
The monkey (Monyet, Kera) portion of the style uses slaps, grabs, punches and elbows, changing position from high to low.
The tiger (Pamacan) utilizes a very low stance, and seeks to smash the opponents limbs and drag him down to continue the fight on the ground. The tiger also fights in a full supine (Harimau) position where the practitioner is lying fully on the ground.
The snake (Ular) style comes in two varieties, cobra (Sendok) and python (Sawa). The cobra style uses half-fists to deliver fast strikes to the eyes and soft body tissues, and the python attempts to strike then wrap the opponent's limbs, preparing to throw them.
The crane (Blekok) style uses high stances and leaps, together with open hand strikes.
And Lastly, the dragon (Raja Naga) is a synthesis of the other four animals, together with a strategy of deployment which emphasizes internal techniques and highly deceptive movements.
The movements of the art are also taught according to a secret method which leads to an increase in 'tenaga dalam'(energy)in the body.
Pukulan Cimande Pusaka also has a system of meditation and metaphysical development which includes meditations designed to draw the four elements (water, earth, fire, air) into the body for various combative and spiritual purposes, and the practice of animal spirit possession, in order to aid fighting skill. Mantras and magic circles are used, along with a highly developed system of visualization and breathing.
Main influences
Pukulan Cimande Pusaka is based on the five sources, representing Pendekar Sander's primary teachers-
Poekelan Tjimande - This is the style of Pencak Silat propagated by Willy Wetzel, a Dutch-Indonesian immigrant to the United States. A handful of schools in the United States teach variations of 'Poekelan' as it is also known. Pendekar William Sanders initially studied this style under the direction of Guru John Malter, a direct student of Master Wetzel.
Pendekar Banten (PPPSBBI) - This is an organization of Indonesia Pendekars whose goal is to promote traditional style Pencak Silat. Pendekar Sanders trained very intensively between the years of 1983 and 1987 under Pendekars Jafri and Sirait (both distinguished leaders in Pendekar Banten). In 1987, after more than half a dozen trips to Indonesia, and having trained in Cimande Style Pencak Silat for 15 years, Pendekar Banten saw fit to grant William Sanders the title of 'Pendekar of Cimande Style Silat.' Because Pendekar Sanders had demonstrated his absolute devotion to learning and spreading traditional Pencak Silat, the now late Pendekar Suryadi Jafri, advised him to add the word "Pusaka" to the name of his Silat. In honoring Pendekar Jafri's request, Pendekar Sanders's Silat has since been known as Pukulan Cimande Pusaka.
Cimande Tarik Kolot - The style Pukulan Cimande Pusaka is inclusive of the art of Cimande as taught in the village of Tarik Kolot by Pendekar Mama Sukarmo, who traces a direct lineage to Embah Kahir.
Cimande Combinasi - This is a style created by Mas Jud in the twentieth century, based upon traditional Cimande, Cikalong, the five animal silat styles, and other sources. It is currently taught by Mas Jud's descendants living on Java in the town of Cilisung.
Ilmu Surapati - Pendekar Sartono claims inheritance of a lineage of Ilmu (mystical science) which traces its origin to Untung Surapati.
