Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of a play-based approach in Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) learning on pencak silat material toward students’ learning outcomes. The research method used was an experimental design involving an experimental group and a control group. The research sample consisted of 21 students in the experimental class and 21 students in the control class. The data were analyzed using prerequisite tests (normality and homogeneity) and hypothesis testing using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test. The results showed that the mean score of the control variable was 86.81, while the mean score of the experimental variable was 93.33. Based on the correlation test, the obtained value was r = 0.385, indicating a positive relationship at a low level of correlation. However, the significance test results showed that t-count (1.81) < t-table (2.093).

Abstract

Every country must update its educational policies, and how these policies are implemented depends on the facilities and resources available for education. With the help of educators and other stakeholders, every aspect of the updated educational policy is successfully implemented at the grassroots level. The study's objective was to educate Betul district undergraduate students about yoga and physical education (in the framework of National Educa. Yoga is a scientific and spiritual practice that simultaneously tackles the psychology, philosophy, and practicalities of conscious evolution. It is an all-encompassing method that unites the body, mind, and spirit by emphasizing balance and attention. Since ancient times, India has had a renowned educational system. The Gurukul method of instruction is well known to all of us. Since independence, there have been some changes made to the Indian educational system. This study used a descriptive survey methodology. The combination of both research approaches is the most effective way in achieving the research objective due to their complementary strengths. Both quantitative and qualitative assessments are known to have certain particular drawbacks. College-bound students from Betul districts made up the study's populations. From the many colleges in the Betul district—Amla, Atner, Bhaisdehi, Ghodadongri, Multai, Sarni, Sahpur, and Betul—a total of 800 students were chosen. The study's conclusions showed that student engagement and participation are poor. The main causes of students' low involvement include the teaching strategies used by instructors, which include lecturing instead of inviting students to participate, lack of confidence, a lack of educational resources, a negative attitude toward the subject, etc. , if the teacher was verbally abusive, the majority of kids would engage and perform well in the physical education classroom. The students indicated that they did not learn the material, but would participate to avoid the repercussions of the teacher. , intrinsically motivated behaviors are engaged in for their own sake, for the pleasure and satisfaction derived from the process of engaging in the activity.

Abstract

This paper examines the transformation of Silat within the Seni Silat Malaysia curriculum through a systematic synthesis of research conducted by Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) from 2013 to 2024. Based on the analysis of 47 peer-reviewed studies, the study traces how Silat has evolved from a traditionally rooted martial art into an interdisciplinary domain integrating sports science, pedagogy, and cultural identity. Using a matrix-based systematic review supported by text-mining techniques, three developmental phases were identified. The first phase (2013–2016) focused on physiological profiling and baseline performance indicators. The second phase (2017–2020) marked a transition toward applied sports science, including training methodologies, coaching strategies, and curriculum integration. The third phase (2021–2024) emphasized interdisciplinary collaboration and international alignment, particularly through the establishment of the AIRBORNE Research Interest Group. Across these phases, five core domains emerged: physical performance, sports-specific training, curriculum integration, recovery strategies, and socio-cultural identity. These domains collectively underpin a unified coaching framework that balances evidence-based practice with cultural authenticity. The emergence of Silat Tempur and its evolution into the Silat EVO competition model demonstrate a clear pathway of research translation into practice. This progression highlights how academic inquiry informs competition design, coaching competencies, and athlete development systems. The findings position Silat as a dynamic martial art in transition, offering a replicable model for integrating tradition, science, and competitive innovation in global martial arts development.

Abstract

This study explores how Silat or Silat Melayu, long rooted in cultural tradition and community practice, has gradually evolved into a recognised academic discipline in Malaysia between 2014 and 2024. Led by Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and supported by national organisations such as PASSMAL and PESONA, this transformation reflects a deliberate effort to bring together heritage, education, and science within a structured academic framework. Using a qualitative multi-source approach, the study draws on 47 publications, expert insights, and international case comparisons to understand this development. The findings reveal a clear three-phase progression: early efforts focused on building basic scientific evidence, followed by a phase of training innovation, curriculum integration, and athlete safety, and more recently, a shift towards international collaboration and interdisciplinary research through platforms such as AIRBORNE. Across this journey, five key areas have shaped Silat scholarship: performance science, training and conditioning, curriculum development, injury prevention and recovery, and the preservation of cultural identity. The integration of technologies such as motion analysis has further strengthened coaching practices and athlete welfare, while global networks like IMACSSS and UNESCO-ICM have expanded Silat’s academic reach beyond Malaysia. At the same time, this rapid development brings important challenges, particularly in maintaining cultural authenticity and ensuring balanced global partnerships. Overall, the study shows that Malaysia’s experience offers a practical and forward-looking model for integrating indigenous martial arts into higher education. By carefully balancing tradition with scientific advancement, Silat demonstrates how cultural heritage can remain relevant, respected, and globally engaged in the modern academic landscape.

Abstract

Background. Learning martial arts, even the Japanese budō tradition, can be limited to a single discipline. But for comprehensiveness, it is possible to study a whole range of disciplines. Problem. What characterizes a master-teacher who has mastered various martial arts? What distinguishes the master we call a complete warrior? Method. Ten renowned masters of the highest rank who achieved high ranks and titles in various martial arts disciplines were considered. A comprehensive index measurement and qualitative analysis were used. Knowledge derived from direct acquaintance with the author, who has been active in the martial arts community for many years (48 years of participant observation), as well as data from the literature on the subject were used. Results and Conclusions As a complete warrior, the master-teacher possesses skills in wielding various weapons, not just saber fencing. He also possesses proven hand-to-hand combat skills, both at a distance and in close combat. In each case, these were decades of daily or regular practice—practical study.
