Apa itu Pencak Silat?



     Pencak silat atau Silat adalah suatu seni bela diri tradisional yang berasal dari Nusantara. Seni bela diri ini secara luas dikenal di Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, dan Singapura, Filipina Selatan, dan Thailand Selatan sesuai dengan penyebaran suku bangsa Melayu Nusantara. Berkat peranan para pelatih asal Indonesia, kini Vietnam juga telah memiliki pesilat-pesilat yang tangguh. Induk organisasi pencak silat di Indonesia adalah Ikatan Pencak Silat Indonesia (IPSI). Organisasi yang mewadahi federasi-federasi pencak silat di berbagai negara adalah Persekutuan Pencak Silat Antara Bangsa (Persilat), yang dibentuk oleh Indonesia, Singapura, Malaysia dan Brunei Darussalam.
  Pencak silat adalah olahraga bela diri yang memerlukan banyak konsentrasi. Ada pengaruh budaya Cina, agama Hindu, Budha, dan Islam dalam pencak silat. Biasanya setiap daerah di Indonesia mempunyai aliran pencak silat yang khas. Misalnya, daerah Jawa Barat terkenal dengan aliran Cimande dan Cikalong, di Jawa Tengah ada aliran Merpati Putih dan di Jawa Timur ada aliran Perisai Diri. Setiap empat tahun di Indonesia ada pertandingan pencak silat tingkat nasional dalam Pekan Olahraga Nasional. Pencak silat juga dipertandingkan dalam SEA Games sejak tahun 1987. Di luar Indonesia juga ada banyak penggemar pencak silat seperti di Australia, Belanda, Jerman, dan Amerika.

Parting Apart

I want to say I'm sorry, but I can't. Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic guy. I really love her, so much. With all my heart. Every night, it's a battleground in my head. Whether to forgive myself and just move on, or there are other layers that I have not yet discovered. I really want her to come back. Maybe it's true, love does not have to have . I want her to shine. She's a diamond of her own league. She's cute. She's my smile. She's everything for me.

Although, of course, you can always exercise more to get rid of those substances and it's good for your body to workout more often. You are going to reap the sedentary life that you sow today if you don't.      It would be a huge achievement for me and I think that's what people call as virtue ? This could even be my biggest achievement I can imagine yet. The dream comes from my habit of working something in a quiet, chilly, and comfortable place. I can't find it in most of the coffee shops in my area. I could find them in coworking space! And publi...
