Activity Profile During Action Time in National Silat Competition

Abstract


Martial arts are a combat system of traditions and practices, which made for a variety of reasons: self-defense, spiritual development, competition, physical health and fitness, entertainment, and mental and physical (Mohamed Shapie, Zenal, Parnabas, & Abdullah, 2016). Basically there are 13 skills in Pencak Silat which will be discussed in the discussion section. Motives of martial arts or self-defense can be defined as the intentions that cause a person to move, act, or to behave in a certain way. SPSS software has been used to determine the mean and standard deviation between Malaysia and the opponent. This is to define the relationship between winning and losing of the athletes from Malaysia.


Introduction


Pencak Silat is a well-known form of martial arts practiced by the Malays in the island of Southeast Asia.  It is one of the martial arts that involve self-defense and attacking. Silat has been one of the sports being performed in Sea Games. In Sea Games, men’s silat has 7 classes which is A, B, C, D, E, F and H while the women categories has 3 classes which is B, C and D. The classes are classified based on their body weight. Attached below are the classifications of each classes:

Materials and Method


There are 13 basic skills in Silat which will be list below (Shapie, Oliver, O'Donoghue, & Tong, 2013):
1.     Catch
Catch the opponent’s body. For example, while the opponent tries to punch, catch his hands. This action needs to be done fast as the opponent will attack in a very fast and power movement.
2.     Topple
3.     Sweep
4.     Punch
5.     Kicking
6.     Fake Kick
7.     Fake Punch
Fake punch are to be made to determine the opponent’s movements.
8.     Block
9.     Block and Punch
Block the opponent’s attack and fire a punch on the limbs. It will give points to the one who perform the action.
10.   Block and Sweep
While the opponent tries to attack, stop his movement by moving to the opposite direction and make a sweep by kicking the back of the opponent’s knee. He will automatically fall down.
11.   Block and Kick
An interception is easier to perform when the opponent telegraphs his intentions before he attacks (Derderian, 2011). While the opponent tries to attack, block the movement and attack back with a kick on his limb.
12.   Evage / Dodge
13.   Self-release

Statistical analysis


The software being used is IBM SPSS Statistics version 22. SPSS has been used for creating and recoding variables. It has three kinds of functions which include mathematical functions, string functions and random number functions.

Discussion


Malaysia has won the class B due to disqualification of the opponents, Vietnam (Semi Final) and Thailand (Final). The two countries broke the rules by attacking the illegal part of bodies which makes them disqualified from the game. While in class D, Malaysia became the first runner up to Thailand. In class E, Malaysia won over Singapore after the completing the third round. Sport fighters don’t protect themselves from groin strikes. Their stances are designed to promote maximum stability in the clinch instead of protecting the most vulnerable target. (Richardson, 2017). The mean between Malaysia and Vietnam of class B in Semifinal was 48.33:47.00. Through observations, Malaysia performed more attack than the Vietnam athlete. While during final against Thailand, Thailand has made more attacks which the mean outcomes are 47.67: 45.0. If Thailand was not disqualified from the match, the possibility for the Thai athlete to win is higher compare to Malaysia. Based on class D, Thailand has won the game even though attacks were more on him because Malaysia has miss the target few times which make the Thailand score the point. Lastly, in class E, Malaysia won against Singapore and based on the actions of Malaysia, the mean is 46.33 which is higher than the Singaporean which is 45.67.

Conclusion


To conclude, Malaysia’s Pesilat has to practice more on blocking and counter attack to gain more points. The mean shows that Malaysia has bigger chances to win but the lose point due to miss target. The athletes need to practice more on their speed and agility to fight the opponent since the opponent movements are way faster than our own national athletes. Muscular endurance need to be included too during their training to improve their fitness and muscle endurance. Basically, Malaysia is good in Silat and has very high chances to win and conquer Silat in the International level, but practice is needed to ensure that they can win the game in future.


Recommendation


1.       Practice more on speed and power movements.

2.       Be alert as the opponents moves are fast.

3.       Be aware of the opponents’ attack movements.

4.       Strength training is important as it will affect their hit.
