Represent Australia in the Pencak Silat World Championship
Winners and outstanding performers from this years Australian Titles will be invited to represent Australia in the Pencak Silat World Championships.
“There has never been a better chance to represent Australia at a Word Championship” suggests Lee Edmondson, owner of Pencak Silat Australia, an active athlete and coach who represented Australia during the Pencak Silat World Championships in Bali, Indonesia in 2016.
“Pencak Silat is currently in its infancy in Australia with few people having heard of the style, even seasoned Martial Artists. It is gaining in popularity however, especially since the launch of the new rules that has made it more attractive to all styles of Martial Arts due to the diversity of techniques. Pencak Silat has also recently been included in the Asian Games and is on the road to being featured as an Olympic Sport in the near future.”
“It will become more competitive in the next few years, so the time is now for athletes and Martial Artists from other styles to get involved in this rapidly growing sport, also known as Sport Silat, to gain a competitive advantage and to be rewarded by representing their country” suggests Lee Edmondson.

About Pencak Silat
Pencak Silat is a traditional Martial Art found in South-East Asia and has over 800 known styles in Indonesia alone. Indonesian styles of Pencak Silat were historically disguised as a dance during the Dutch occupation, with the most effective techniques hidden in the art form. Previously called the ‘Dutch East Indies’, Pencak Silat (that had been hidden for centuries) helped Indonesia gain their independence at the end of World War II. Pencak Silat then officially became a sport. Pencak Silat holds a World Championship every two years throughout South-East Asia.
