Ever heard of "SILAT"? Malay silat is a generic term for many Malaysian martial arts. It is one of the arts that prevails and remain strong in the culture of Malay.
There are at least 150 known Malay silats in Malaysia. Most popular ones are Silat Gayong (pronounced Guy Yoog), Silat Cekak, Silat Sendeng, Silat Keris Lok 9 and Silat Gayong Fatani.
Silat Gayong, one of the oldest Malay martial art, or correctly referred to as Silat Seni Gayong, is a Malay art of self-defense; a fighting art, the art of stopping wars. The art is not merely about self-defense, it is also for the development of the self; self improvement on the way to serve humanity.
Besides developing and increasing physical fitness, the martial art can enhance flexibility, mental conditioning, discipline and self-confidence. The philosophy of Gayong is strongly related to the Malay cultures and traditions, morals, adab (respect) and the teaching of religion. The religion is the basis and inspiration, motivation and guidance for high quality behavior.
