The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, utilizing a pretest–posttest format. The participants consisted of 12 students actively involved in Pencak Silat extracurricular activities. Data analysis using the t-test indicated a significant improvement between pretest and posttest results, demonstrating that the TGfU model effectively enhanced students’ physical engagement and technical performance in Pencak Silat. These findings confirm that implementing TGfU-based training creates a more interactive, enjoyable, and meaningful learning experience, which promotes better motor activity and overall physical education outcomes.]]>
