This study sought to ascertain the impact of split jump training on pencak silat competitors' front kicking proficiency. This study blended quantitative techniques with an experimental methodology. A pretest-posttest design with a single group was used. Purposive sampling was utilized to establish a sample size of 15 from the 38 athletes in the research population. Data collection was conducted through a pretest and posttest for the athletes' front kicking abilities. Data analysis involved two stages: (a) data normality testing to ensure data distribution, and (b) a paired-sample t-test to identify significant changes between pretest and posttest data. According to the study's findings, the posttest score was greater than the pretest, averaging 21.60 with a standard deviation of 2.02. The results of the normality test indicated that the data had a normal distribution (Sig. > 0.05). With an average rise of 2.87 points and a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), the paired sample t-test findings demonstrated a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. This demonstrates that split jump training significantly improves Pagar Nusa pencak silat athletes' front kick speed.
