KHTC - Malay Tekpi / Sai



In Japan , it was called Sai, in Indonesia it called Trisula and in Malaysia it called Tekpi. A weapon with three branch, two short at side and a long branch in the middle. It was told and known as the king of all weapons. How true it is, we have to find out what is the significant of this weapon. The design look the same weather Japanese or Malay tekpi/sai but in full view it is totally different. The Japanese tekpi/sai are build in round while the Malay tekpi/sai are build in having sides. The other different the Japanese tekpi/sai are not that sharp at the edge while Malay tekpi/sai are sharp.

Malay Tekpi
In terms of maneuvering it is almost the same, the used of mother finger to changed the position of the weapon. The used of the edge and beginning of the tekpi/sai which are look like an hammer. All this point are used for striking and locking. The two short branch function are the most important in maneuvering in this weapon art. There are flip ,stab ,throw ,resist ,fend are the main criteria of the tekpi. In Silat Seni Gayong the art of tekpi are consists of movement, escape, hitting and locking which are utilized with the tekpi.

How it will counter with various weapons, How to flip ,stab etc and especially countering other weapons with throw, fend etc. All this techniques will be taught accordingly as per such curriculum in order for mastering the art, especially when maneuvering and changing the movement of the weapon.
