Silek Birth Minang

Minang Silek births occur at the same time as the birth of Minangkabau itself. Silek established by Datuak Marajo length of Padang Panjang and Datuak Bandaharo Kayo of Pariangan. Length of thought Datuak Marajo and Datuak Bandaharo that was born three original law, namely: 1. Legal Simumbang Jatuah 2. Legal Sigamak - Gamak 3. Legal Silamo - Third Lamo these laws became the legal standard for both Datuak (Datuak Perpatiah Nan Sabatang and Datuak Katumanggungan), called called "Bajanjang Naiak Batanggo Down". At that time Datuak Suri Dirajo creating self-defense science known as "Silek". Previously, Datuak Suri Dirajo inherit martial arts (not Silek) of the father Cati Said and Sultan Maharajo Dirajo Clever, self defense knowledge inherited by his father called "Gayuang". [IMG] Gayuang is a martial art that is used to fight or to beat his rival, while Gayuang consists of two kinds. Gayuang Physical and Mental Gayuang.What is meant by "Gayuang Born" (physical Gayuang) kicked by three legs to kill enemies, or better known as "Duo Long Finger" (two fingers Measurement). And the target is around the neck (Adam's apple), navel, and both upper legs or genitals. This target has been a major source of creation Silek. Wind Gayuang Science (Mental) are fighting techniques to defeat an opponent with the power source mentality to three important goals in the body. Heart, lymph nodes and liver. There are also other mental combat, it is not called "Gayuang" because it used some instrument or other media. Science shapes can vary. Sijundai, Tinggam, Sewai, Parmayo and so on.

Science is still kept by the parents Minangkabau until now known as savings science (Panaruahan). In addition to "Gayuang science" which is owned by Suri Datuak Dirajo, he also inherited a self-defense science of four followers of Sultan Maharajo Dirajo namely Kuciang Siam, Tiger Campo, Kambiang Forest and Anjiang Mualim.

Kuciang Kuciang Siam Siam was Followers Sultan Maharajo Dirajo called Ko-Chin originating from Siam now called Thailand (Thailand). Ko-Chin respected for its self-defense science represent the movement of cats and is also characteristic of cats.

Campo Campo tiger tiger or tiger Campa, was a follower of Sultan Maharajo Dirajo coming from Cambodia and the name was respected for its self-defense science really artificial movement of tigers.

Kambiang Kambiang Forest Forest, whose real name Kan-Bin, is a martial arts expert of Cambay in northern Malabar, from the movement of his defense seupa movement goat, he was honored with the name Kambiang Forest.

Anjiang Mualim Mualim Anjiang Known as the science of self-defense and fighting strategy to defeat rivals by imitating the movement of the dog. His real name is An-Jin, who comes from the south Hindi or Persian and Mualim word here means navigator. Suri Datuak Dirajo for all the science legacy it is one with different results from the original. Science is now known as Silek primary (original Silek), once known as wards Silek Tuo (Silek Lama).

Silek development Silek development begins with the development of Minangkabau land itself. Minangkabau land development due Pariangan breeding population at that time. Sultan Maharajo Dirajo ordered his followers to lead a mission team in development in that region. At that time the groups led by:

Tiger Campo assigned to bring the group to Luhak Agam

Forest Kambiang assigned to stay Luhak Limapuluh

Siam Kuciang directed to the area Lasi

Anjiang Mualim bring the group to the seacoast region.

As the construction area there is also the development of education "Silek" Minangkabau. His name is no longer Silek Tuo Silek primary, but this time varies based on the name of the region (region) and teachers. Just like Silek Tiger Campo, Kambiang Forest, Anjiang Mualim, Kuciang Siam, there is also Silek are developed in accordance with regional development as Silek Pakiah Rabun, Silek Lintau, Silek Inyiak Uban, Silek Starlak, Batu Mandi, Kumango, Silek Pauah, and so on. Besides Silek, Minangkabau always follow the development of the region (region) and science. In principle, the Minangkabau Silek source comes from a single source made by Datuak Suri Dirajo. And the development of the Minangkabau region becomes larger expressed in history that the east is the region Minangkabau old Malay (Melayu old) in northern Sriwijaya. It is powered by a Buddhist priest, I'Tsing way home to China on a trip to India in 671. The most interesting thing for a while I'Tsing is a journey into the regional capital "Mo - Lo - Yoe" (Malay) situated in the valley Time and rivers Kampar Kampar at noon where he had stopped on his own shadow, which means it is located below the equator. In addition to the development of Minangkabau Silek which have been developed as well as the development of new areas, as has been mentioned previously that the assignment of a team to develop the area by Datuak Suri Dirajo and Datuak Baduo Nan (Nan Perpatiah Datuak Sabatang and Datuak Katumanggungan) Silek science Minangkabau has varied.

Silek science Tiger Campo As was mentioned earlier that Tiger Campo is the commander who led the team to the area Luhak Agam. Because familiar with the Minangkabau society in Agam, son of Luhak Agam called tiger. "Tiger Campo" also teaches Silek Tuo (Silek original) to a generation that is predominantly characterized by imitation tiger movement of his native region.

Silek science Kuciang Siam

In addition to science Silek Minangkabau developed in Canduang Lasi by Kuciang Siam from generation to generation. Generally still Silek Tuo (Silek old), but basically the dominant movement with the movement of the cat, as a pet home for protection against rats. Movement cats are very gentle and quiet but dangerous if caught by it. When we feel ourselves in is destroyed, the first fall is his leg and would not be well, such as not touching the ground. In Silek movement, no movement called "Jatuah Kuciang" means falling down like a cat.

Silek Kambiang Forest Science Kan-Bin or Kambiang Forest originating from northern Malabar Cambay also inherited science or Silek Tuo primary Silek by Datuak Suri Dirajo. Kambiang science developed in the area of ​​Forest Silek Luhak Fifty Cities, the characteristics of this kind act more Silek using hand movements in addition, it also uses the head and foot hit an unexpected junction by an opponent.

Silek science Anjiang Mualim Mualim dog originating from the southern Persian Hindi or Gujarati develop science Silek Overseas Coastal (overseas territories). When we take for granted the existence of the Bukit Barisan (mountains) stretches from North to South West East, and from the central government to the South could see ethnic mountains starting from Angkola, Mandailing, Minangkabau, Lebong, Rawas, Pasaman, Mount Merapi, Mount Seblat, mountain Kaba and Mount Dempo, as well as river flows and goes into this estuary east coast of Sumatra. This is an area where An-Jin led to the development of foreign regions and growing community. This kind used Silek movement and defense battles in the form of a circle.

Silek primary (Silek Tuo) Silek Lama belongs Datuak gayuang Science Suri Dirajo and combination with three types Silek above, are creating Silek varied types of self-defense of the Land Bases (South India). Capturing this kind is called Silek so Silek Tigo step (step three Silek) or Silek primary rather than named Silek Tuo, is basically the main source of the most famous Gayuang or targeted "Duo Sajangka Jari"

Target

Target (target) is to teach students (Children pupil) of Silek. There are several ways or some of the requirements that must be done in advance in accordance with the "Alua jo Patuik", including bloody on target with chicken blood. Silek based education "Tau in Garak jo Garik" (understand gestures) that requires awareness and a solid decision as advice as follows:

Know overshadowed kato up

Tunggua know kamanaruang

Dirantiang know kamalantiang

Alun bakilek alah bakalam

This means:

Know what is being said

Know what dangers

Know what will hurt

Think deeply before an action

Terms to be "Pandeka" (Swordsman) is aware of Garak jo Garik (objectives and actions). Garak in Minangkabau not mean action, this means a goal or gesture. Or it can be said in feeling, while Garik means of actions that can be seen so it can be avoided, stopped, arrested or locked. The influence of customary law is so strong in the Minangkabau which really helps in the formation of the soul Swordsman Minangkabau such as:

Which bajanjang batanggo down naiak

Batatah babarih, jauah buliah ditunjuakkan

Dakek buliah dipacikkan, cancang mamampeh

Ndak lapuak rain deck, follow the back deck paneh

Which mean:

- Yours

- Full of confidence

- Honesty

- Loyalty

Silek and development of Islam After Islam spread rapidly in soil Minangkabau, Silek development forward quickly adapted to the teachings of Islam. Silek cross to the development of Negeri Sembilan (Malaysia). This can be evidenced by the Minangkabau people first arrived in Negeri Sembilan, Datuak King Tok Series, and made a village called Kampung worries, followed by Datuak King of Natural Pangulu Bandaharo Datuak family and lived in the village of Sungai Layang. In the next period followed by Sutan Sumaniak and Johan Greatness and settles in Sand Mountain, and thus also Datuak Putiah and Sari Lamak which eventually settles in Series Waiting. The first king who ruled in Malacca first is the King Malewar (1773 - 1795) and from here we can compare that knowledge Silek of the Malay who said their knowledge about Silek "Art Gayong" (Gayuang) came from Minangkabau, which has been changed in accordance with time and regions.

After the development of Islamic Silek Reform During the collapse of Minangkabau Kingdom there are also reforms in science Silek Minangkabau. Islam (Shiite), which was developed in 1150. Minangkabau three young pilgrim returning from Mecca in 1803, to reform Islam, which has a chance to see chaos in Minangkabau. Three Haji it is:

Haji Miskin of luhak Masjid Tanah Datar who was in his homeland Smart Brush

Haji Piobang of luhak Fifty Cities

Haji Sumaniak of luhak Agam

The three men returned to Minangkabau for Islamic Reform purposes, of Shiites into Wahabi beliefs. In this reform era, the trio helped by five young people who have studied Islam in depth. They are Tuanku Nan Renceh of Kamang, Tuanku Nan Tuo of Cangkiang, Malin Putiah in Aia Adieu, my lord Pamansiang and Peto Syarif in Bonjol otherwise known as Imam Bonjol. They are, in fact, better known by the name "Tiger Nan Salapan" (eight tiger). Tigers name Nan Salapan honored for them, in case their way in the reform of Islam at that time thought to be in the violence that actually fight by indigenous groups. Eight tiger was later known as the "Tiger Nan Part" (nine tiger), since Tuanku Rao became a member of the group that came from Rao Pasaman. In addition to the religious scholars, they are also developers Silek Minangkabau. Silek heritage "Step Tigo" (three steps) or SilekTuo (Silek old) began to be colored brainstorming Islamic education. From this site, rather than the name and style varies from Silek in Minangkabau began to grow, in general, is enhanced by spiritual strength through discussion and ritual activities carried out by the Islamic education. Growing regions and their culture is growing pattern Silek Minangkabau. Silek name there and develop the ideology of that time called it the people who teach or region of origin. This can be seen from some famous Minangkabau Silek ideology.

Silek Kumango

Kumango is an area in Sungai Tarab, Tanah Datar. Silek created by Shaykh Abdurrahman or popularly known as Syech Kumango (1825). In addition to religion, Syech Kumango also teaches self defense science Silek Tuo (Silek old), colored Islamic inspiration. Up to this time Silek this kind have been called Silek Kumango, because the teacher from Kumango. For the name of ideology Silek, of these cases, we can state that it is taken from the name of the region or regions where it is coming from people who taught that just as one student Silek Kumango, Malin Marajo, when he developed Silek this kind in Batu Cage, ideology it is Silek Called Malin Silek Marajo. In addition there are also Silek Pakiah Rabun of Muaro Labuah, Silek Inyiak Uban of Maninjau, Silek Lintau of regions in Lintau Lubuak Males Full Lintau area in Tanah Datar developed by Ahmad Sutan Tuanku Lintau barrel at the beginning of the 19th Century Silek Starlak, of Kamang in Agam District was developed by Ulud Bagindo Chatib 1865.

Silek development of schools as well as their names, however, have a large effect on the growth history of Silek in Minangkabau. In addition to variations Silek ideology developed in Minangkabau, there has been a decrease in the presence of warriors Silek Minangkabau really understand or know the history Silek Minangkabau. It is in fact very sad, which is relevant to the advancement of technology, the majority of Minangkabau society has been imitating the habit imported from foreign countries and the lack of attention of young people for the future of indigenous cultural traditions that he "ndak lapuak deck rain ndak the back deck paneh" (immortal) And so the Minangkabau Silek education today seems to be rare. It is, in fact, regarded as highly confidential Silek education system itself, which is generally a teacher who would teach his students at night, and thus also the heir of education was as follows word. "Kok ndak nan nan ado sajangka find saeto (if no one is looking for that inch cubit). This means in generating Silek science teacher can not teach to everyone, but only for their generation only (descent / their families) as a child, nephew, or brother. Especially in generating science-based Silek spiritual side, ritual discussion called "Panaruahan" or savings, that is why the warriors Silek Minangkabau be on the wane. This can be evidenced by the lack of training centers in Minangkabau traditional Silek. Silek in training centers, students are not only taught but also the attitude Silek science, philosophy of life and customs and culture of Minangkabau. A pupil will be called "warriors" when he was very aware and very understanding philosopy life and teachings of Islam.

Natural Takambang Make Master

It can be said that experience is the best teacher, the students will learn more from nature and have a greater respect for everything he gets.

This ritual opinion "Teachers Make Takambang Nature" (Nature is the best teacher) has a greater meaning a closed universe, and it is contained in the teaching of science Silek. Formally, a teacher Silek also taught philosophy of life which is very useful in shaping the personality pesilat.In the attitude of the students are also taught Silek, politeness and inner personality. source
