It has been retitled from: An Indo-Malay Martial Art: Pencak Silat Pertempuran Volume 1 to Pencak Silat Pertempuran: Vol. 1. There is also a new cover. About The Book: This is a Perfect bound soft cover book over 350 pp. It is specifically created for those who study the martial art of pencak silat known as Pencak Silat Pertempuran and contains many photos and detailed explanations of the material. An excellent resource about the ferocious art of pencak silat. Pencak Silat is probably best known worldwide for its use of weapons, specifically, bladed weapons of all types, sizes, and variations. That said it is also a martial art that is rich in culture and artistic elements. The first book of a series to address this particular style of Pencak Silat and detail some of its physical manifestations, theories, and principles. It is also one of a few books written in English to address pencak silat at all. Review: Base for further study - When I first decided to study Pencak Silat I was lost wading in all the information out there, some good and some not so good. There are a lot of people out there looking to make a buck, so it can be difficult. Most of the material out there just outlines a few applications of Pencak Silat without going into detail about the meat and bones or culture (ie. the djurus). This is not true of Sean's book. The first volume goes over the basics in detail, everything from the strikes to the footwork used in his style. From this book I think a person could view various DVDs on Pencak Silat and understand what is happening a lot easier. Being a former practitioner of Aikido and Jiu Jitsu I found the section on Masukan very interesting. The one criticism I can make about this book is the picture quality and this has already been mentioned. Everything in the book builds on itself, so if you can't make sense of an earlier technique then it could effect your practice later. However, you still must read all of the book to understand the earlier sections (hope that makes sense, lol). I also appreciate Sean's traditional approach as opposed to the MMA mentality I see in most books nowadays (and don't get me wrong I like MMA). The glossary at the end was absolutely brilliant, especially because he shows you how all the words are pronounced. Since Pencak Silat is normally practiced in back alleyways or your garage without the assistance of an Instructor it is nice to know how these terms are properly pronounced. You can also impress friends! I bought all three of Sean's books and greatly look forward to reading the second! The information in the second book is what interests me most. Review: Good overview of a system - Unlike a lot of books on systems that aren't well known, this one lists and illustrates the various moves (it doesn't just give random samplings without context). Dodges, strikes, locks, takedown, entries... number 1, 2, 3, 4,... When you get that down, move onto book 2. Color pics would've been nice but I'm sure it would've doubled or tripled the cost. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,270,645 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 30 Reviews | ## Images ![Pencak Silat Pertempuran: Vol. 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TNVgJOPML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Base for further study *by S***G on March 20, 2012* When I first decided to study Pencak Silat I was lost wading in all the information out there, some good and some not so good.

Guru Stark gives a great written view of the world of Combat Silat including the history of the art, including the spiritual and mental aspects. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/15833368-pencak-silat-pertempuran-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/15833368-pencak-silat-pertempuran-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
