The martial arts of Indonesia: A guide to pencal silat, kuntao, and traditional weapons
Preserved in music, dance, and art-as well as in ritual, tribal law, and mythology-the fighting arts of the Indonesian archipelago play a central role in Indonesian culture. The Martial Arts of Indonesia is a heavily illustrated and well-researched work from revered martial arts scholar and teacher Donn F. Draeger. Draeger offers an expert's perspective on the story of Indonesia's martial culture, providing a comprehensive introduction to the sophisticated forms of empty-hand combat. These acrobatic fighting styles like Pencak Silat-which was granted World Cultural Heritage status by UNESCO in 2019-and Kuntao are growing in popularity around the world
