Silat (or Pencak Silat) is an umbrella term for a family of martial arts native to Indonesia, Malaysia, and other parts of maritime Southeast Asia, combining striking, joint locks, weapon work (such as the kris and staff), and often dance-like or spiritual elements. It is practiced for self-defense, traditional ceremony, and competitive sport, and is recognized as a national cultural heritage in several Southeast Asian countries.
