I'm curious as well. What part of Indonesia are you from ? Are you on Java ? Just wondering as my parents lived in Jakarta for three years from 1996 through 1999.

Take care,
Brian

Yes, when Dutch invaded us, they dont allowed any martial arts to be trained by indonesian ppl coz Dutch were afraid of rebellion, so we hide the fighting art in a dance form. Thats why in Indonesian Silat's form there are many jurus/style/kata that look likes silly movement.
Now, some of the traditional pencak silat style are back and remove the dance formn and back to the fighting art again



Is it true that only chinese arts were outlowed? ll martial arts? any?
Chinese MA were not too famous at that time in Indonesia, so it is allowed.
Japanese MA were also allowed, becouse when karate came in to indon, there were no weapons technique, and the Dutch were not afraid with the karate punch , coz they can fight karate punch with gun (sorry for karate-ka but thats what happened here), and we dont have the technology . Indonesian MA involved many throw weapon and the Dutch dont really like rebellion of throwing weapons master.

I hope thats enough

Yes, I visited Yogjakarta in December of 1996 and had a great time there. I also visited Burobodor and Bogor as well. My parents were living in Jakarta in May of 1998 when Suharto was overthrown. I'm probably the only American who name every President of Indonesia since Suharto.

Are you familiar with Pa Herman Suwanda of Pencak Silat Mande Muda ? He unfortunately died in March of 2000. A great martial artist.

Take care,

sure I know Herman Suwanda and his wife Rita Suwanda. Dan Inosanto learned Silat from him.

Hahahahh Suharto is very famous hah ??
Borobudur not burobodor
Yogyakarta or jogjakarta or jogja or yogya, not yogjakarta

Yes, that is great info! Excuse my ignorance of your country's most basic history, but about when did the Dutch invade? That would be early 19th century probably? Thanks! I hope I can go to your country one day, it is very beautiful.
