Seuntai Salam

Kugoreskan Seuntai Salam penuh kehangatan
menghempaskan angin kedukaan
Melantun seiring nyanyian hati
Bergemuruh bersama sang waktu

Mencari onggokan kata-kata indah di Samudera
Bagai menyusuri Lautan yang paling dalam
Mencoba merangkai sederet puisi
Bagai menyusun ungkapan hati yang paling indah

Tatkala mentari berkejaran dengan rembulan
Apakah engkau akan tetap di sana?
Menunggu hingga kutuangkan bait-bait yang memenuhi otakku
Seakan ingin keluar dan menumpahkannya?

Karena kutetap menyulam kata
Cermin rasa dan keasaanku
Menampar semua keangkuhanku
Dan membiarkan baitku mengisi jagat raya

THE FORE FATHER OF MINANGKABAU


Based on the believe of the fore parents stated in "Tambo", news and ancients proverbs, it can be said that to judge "Tambo" was containing 2% the truth and 98% mithology is trully reasonable.
According to Proff. Kern, the first nation came firstly to the Southern of Khatulistiwa (Minangkabau) was said "Proto Meleiers" or the old Malay, than came "Deuto Meleiers" or the Young Malay. Generally "Nusantara" once was came by nations from Campa, Kampuchea and Kochin.
And according to "Tambo" of Minangkabau, the fore father of Minangkabau was Sultan Maharajo Dirajo. Who had sailed with his followers Cati Bilang Pandai which was well known with the name Tukang Sibak Ulai, and the four skilled escort in self defence, Kuciang Siam, Harimau Campo, Kambiang Hutan and Anjieng mualim. The had sailed along the Lakadewa Island passing Serindit and Langgapuri or Ceylon straight to Gold archipel and harboured in the Merapi Volcano.
Sultan Maharajo Dirajo was the son of Iskandar Zulkarnain (Alexander Grote). Alexander Grote or the Great Alexander was the greatest kingdom's king in Masedonia (Athen) 365 - 323 Bc. He was the pupil of Aristoteles 384 - 323 Bc. While Aristoteles was the pupil of plato 427 - 347 Bc. Alexander Grote married to a prnces of Ruhum (East Rome). From this married he was inherited three sons, named; Sultan Maharajo Alif, Sultan Maharajo Depang (Dipang) and Sultan Maharajo Dirajo.

Before the death of Iskandar Zulkarnain (Alexander Grote), he has assigned his son Sultan Maharajo Alif to leave for Ruhum (East Rome) to govern it, while Sultan Maharajo Dipang had been assigned to China to govern it and Sultan Maharajo Dirajo had been assigned to came to an island in the southern of Equator.As it had stated earlier, Sultan maharajo dirajo was set with his followers along Lakadewa passing Serindit or Langgapuri straight to the Gold Island or Jawa Alkibri which is now is named Sumatera (Andalas).

Among the followers there were Cati Bilang Pandai or named Tukang Sibak Ulai, and the four escort Kuciang siam, Harimau Campo, Kambiang Hutan and Anjieng Mualim. The four were the champion of self defence from their own region. They were not animal although were named with animal Kuciang (Cat), Harimau (Tiger), Kambiang (Goat) and Anjieng (Dog). They were totally human being that were named is accordance to their style of skill in self defence.
After harbouring to the Andalas island the journey was straighted to the slope of Merapi Volcano and this was the beginning of the dwelling of Sultan Maharajo Dirajo in the slope of Merapi. And the first home of theirs was named Galundi Nanbaselo.
Sultan Maharajo Dirajo has four doughters and a niece called Indah Juita. The four doughters of Sultan Maharajo Dirajo ware married to his followers while his niece was married to Sangsepurbha. Sangsepurbha was the name derived from the Greek word means Suprabha who came from "Kula Warga Sri Sailendra Kaundinya" from Bukit Siguntang (Mahameru). From the marriage of Sang Sepurbha and Indah Juita they were inherited a son named Dt. Perpatiah Nan Sabatang.


After the death of Sang Sepurbha, the widow Indah Juita married to Cati Bilang Pandai, and from their marreid they had two sons, Dt. ketumanggungan and Dt. Suri Dirajo. Of the three sons of Indah Juita, Dt. Ketumanggungan and Dt. Perpatiah Nan Sabatang were found of goverment and politic, while Dt. Suri Dirajo was found of military (force) and it was Dt. Suri Dirajo who created the science of self defence in Minangkabau which now is well known with the name of Silek (Silat).

THE PRINCIPAL THROUGHT (WAY OF LIFE) OF MINANGKABAU PEOPLE


Rumah basandi Batu house is foundationed with stone
Adat basandi alua patuik cutom based on logic
Mamakai anggo jo tanggo the use of rule of law
Sarato raso jo pareso and mutual understanding
From the above principe it could be seen that
- "Basandi Batu" (Dialectic),
- "Musyawarah Mufakat", "Alua Patuik" (logic),
- "Anggo Tanggo" (rule of law)
- "raso jo pareso" (observation).
With the interpretation as follows;
  1. Basandi batu (musyawarah) (discussion)
    Bulek aia dek pambuluah (round water couse of pipe)
    Bulek kato dek mufakat (clear word couse of discussion)
  2. Alua Patuik (logic)
    mabagi samo banyak (to devide the same portion)
    manimbang samo barek (to weight the same weight)
    To place one thing in the proper position
    The right thing in the right place
  3. Anggo Tanggo (rule of law)
    The word of "Anggo Tanggo" here states
    Anggo - Budgetting
    Tanggo - The Familly
    What means here is
    To do something basically based on the main rule and familly rule, custom and based on principal law of Minangkabau that is said " Limbago nan Sapuluah"
    Limbago nan Sapuluah (ten commandement), consist of Cupak nan Duo (the two measurement) the four rules and the four words. Cupak nan duo is ; 1)Cupak Usali (original measurement);2)Cupak Buatan (made man measurement). So that Cupak Usali means original law and Cupak Buatan means suplement law.
  4. Raso jo Pareso
    The meaning of Raso jo Pareso here is
    Raso - rasa (taste)
    Pareso - periksa (Introspektion)
    With another word Raso jo Pareso means Mutual Understanding.
    Raso Tumbuah di Dado (taste grows in heart)
    Pareso Tumbuah di Kapalo (introspection grows in brain)
Adat Bajanjang Naiak Batanggo Turun (custom in applied structurally)
Babilang dari aso counted from one
Mangaji dari alif to learn from the basic
Naiak dari janjang nan dibawah step on to from the first stair
Turun dari tanggo nan diateh down from the top stair
Kamanakan barajo kamamak = nephew obeyed the uncle
Mamaka barajo ka pangulu = uncle obeyed the chief of the familly
Pangulu barajo ka mufakat = chief of the familly obeyed the discussion
Mufakat barajo ka nanbana = discussion obeyed the truth
Bana badiri sandirinyo = the truth stand alone
From the above statement, it could be seen how democratic is the law of custom "Bajanjang Naiak Batanggo Turun", created by the two Datuk, Dt. Perpatiah nan Sabatang and Dt. Ketumanggungan.

THE BIRTH OF SILEK MINANG

The birth of Silek Minang was at the same time of the birth of Minangkabau land that was promoted by Dt. Marajo Panjang from Padang Panjang and Dt. Bandaharo Kayo from Pariangan. From the thought of Dt. Marajo Panjang and Dt. Bandaharo kayo, born three orriginal law ;
1. Laws of Simumbang Jatuah
2. Laws of Sigamak - Gamak
3. Laws of Silamo - Lamo
The three laws than were become the standart of law of the two Datuk; Dt. Perpatiah nan Sabatang and Dt. Ketumanggungan.which was called "Bajanjang Naiak Batanggo Turun". At that time Dt. Suri Dirajo created the science of self defence which is known as "Silek". Before than, Dt. Suri Dirajo had inherited the science of self defence (not silek) from his father Cati Bilang Pandai and Sultan Maharajo Dirajo, the science of self defence inherited by his father was called "Gayuang".
Gayuang is a science of self defense used to fight or to defeat the rival, while Gayuang consist of two sort; Physical Gayuang and Mental Gayuang. What it mean by "Gayuang Lahir" (Physical Gayuang) is to kick with a toe to three killing targets or more well, known with "Sajangka Duo Jari" (two fingers measurement). 

And the target is arround the neck (Adam Apple), 
pit of stomach, and the both upper of legs or the penis.
This target than ,has been  the main source of
the creation of Silek. The science of Gayuang Angin
(Mental) is a fight technique to defeat the rival
with the strength mentality source to 
the three vital target in the body; heart, lymph 
gland and liver. There is also another mental fight, 
this is not so called
"Gayuang" since it is used some tools or another mediums.
This form of science could be varied; Sijundai, Tinggam, Sewai, 
Parmayo and so forth.

This science is still kept by the old people of Minangkabau up to this time which is known as a saving science (Panaruahan).
Beside "Gayuang science" owned by Dt. Suri Dirajo, he also inherited self defence science from the four followers of Sultan Maharajo Dirajo ; Kuciang Siam, Harimau Campo, Kambiang Hutan and Anjieng Mualim.

Tradisi Minang


Silek Tuo

Deep of highlands of west Sumatra exist an ancient martial art the protector of this style of self defense are known of the Minangkabau and their martial art is knows as Silek Tuo.
With name like Sitaralak, Kumango, Lintau and Batu Mandi. The Minangkabau art of silek has developed into many different styles. This page is devoted to just one style of Silek Tuo or “Old Silek”. However, some of this information my apply to silek in general.

As a matrilineal society, Minangkabau people place great importance on the mother’s brother or uncle. In the past this style was taught by the “mamak” (uncle) to his sister children.
The moves were learned at night as secrecy was of crucial importance. Silek developed as an art or self defense, it is not to be used for attack, while Silek tuo teaches, it’s truly shines in it’s ingenious counter attacks these moves at time look more like wrestling as the consist of locks, holds, and levers, that it applied. Properly can immediately disable or even kill the enemy.
The fundamental movement in Silek Tuo is A twisting motion called “Gelek”. The is done by twisting the body at the feet and hip. This basic movement is used in both defending and attacking. For example , is a punch is thrown severely the at ones head, the “Gelek” or twisting motion, would allow the defender to avoid being hit by the punch the defender is now in the perfect position. For making a counter attack the Gelek motion is also used to get free from most kind of kicks and holds.
Learning the Gelek is the first phase in silek training. The second series teaches five series of attacks and counter attacks, called “induak – induak” this sequences are designed to train the silek player to be able to defend himself in numerous situations.
In practicing the five “Induak – induak”, the silek student very quickly develops, reflexes, which eventually will allow the student to defend against all kinds he/she has practiced in the “Induak – induak”
