Silat Cinkrik Goning

Yesterday (Saturday,August 12,2006) my pencak silat instructor Bapak Bambang was invited to give a demonstration of Pencak Silat Betawi Cinkrik Goning at the training hall in Jakarta. I've been training with Bapak for about 4 months and I'm really impressed with his technique. Unlike other types of silat, Cinkrik Goning doesn't feature dance-like kambangan (seni/art) or tenaga dalam (inner power/mysticism). I'm happy Bapak Bambang got some exposure at this event, I think he has a lot to offer the Pencak Silat community.

Here are some short video clips:
