Sumatra

All Sumatran pencak-silat styles make extensive use of leg tactics. Due to the environment of the people who reside on this large island, fighting tactics have come to rely on well developed leg flexibility and strength. These special qualities have been made possible by the daily exercise involved in labor chores that require full-squatting, climbing, and jumping actions. Whether a lowland, coastal, or mountain resident, a Sumatran pencak-silat exponent demonstrates an unusual ability with leg maneuvers, but is not at a loss when the hands and arms must be brought into use.
