Abstract

This study aims to analyze the symbolic meanings and spirituality contained in the basic movements of Silek Tuo Pagaruyung. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving teachers, practitioners, and individuals knowledgeable about Silek Tuo Pagaruyung in Pagaruyung Village, Tanah Datar Regency. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the basic movements of Silek Tuo Pagaruyung function not only as self-defense techniques but also contain symbolic meanings and spiritual values. The stepping movement symbolizes carefulness in making decisions and taking actions, while the stance represents balance and readiness. The evasion movement reflects the ability to adapt to various situations. The spiritual values reflected in the practice and movements of Silek Tuo include discipline, self-control, humility, respect for teachers, and religious values associated with Minangkabau philosophy. Therefore, Silek Tuo Pagaruyung represents a cultural heritage that not only teaches self-defense skills but also serves as a medium for transmitting the philosophical, moral, social, and spiritual values of the Minangkabau community.
