Madura

On the island of Madura, the pencak-silat fighter is usually either a sailor or a farmer with a volatile temper. He has borrowed what he liked from other pencak-silat styles, and has achieved good balance between arm, leg, and grappling tactics. His combative postures, thus, are quite variable and tend to make an encounter with a Madurese fighter a difficult and dangerous proposition. This fact is recognized by Indonesian peoples, most of whom genuinely fear him.
