Beksi Silat is one of the most popular traditional martial arts (Betawi: maen pukul) of the Betawinese.[1][2] This kuntao-silat hybrid style was originally developed in Kampung Dadap, a village in Kosambi district of Tangerang Regency, Banten Province, Indonesia.[1][3] The founder of this style combined elements of his ancestral Chinese martial arts with the silat knowledge he received from his Betawi teachers. The style spread through his disciples to the coastal Betawinese and the Benteng Chinese around Kampung Dadap. Eventually, the silat style also reached Petukangan Selatan in South Jakarta and Batujaya in Tangerang.[1]

Etymology

Opinions on the origin of the term Beksi vary. According to silat researcher G.J. Nawi, the term evolved from the phrase Bhe Si, which means 'horse stance' in Hokkien.[1]

History

Beksi Silat was originally created by Lie Tjeng Hok, a peranakan Chinese farmer who created a unique mixed martial art that combined elements from his family's martial arts and Betawinese martial arts.[1] His Betawinese martial arts masters are recorded as Ki Jidan and Ki Miah (also spelled Ki Maimah).[1]

Lie Tjeng Hok taught the martial arts to his students, the Peranakan Chinese, and the coastal Betawinese around his home in Kampung Dadap, Kosambi, Tangerang. One of his most talented Betawinese students was Ki Muharli (or Marhali).[1] Ki Muharli then had a Peranakan-Betawinese disciple named H. Gozali (or Godjalih) bin H. Gatong, who then taught his knowledge to his students in Petukangan, South Jakarta[3] and in Batujaya, Batuceper, Tangerang.[1] The main disciples of H. Gozali included Kong H. Hasbullah bin Misin,[4] Kong M. Nur, Kong Simin, and Kong Mandor Minggu[5] - who also studied with Ki Muharli.[1] Among others, Lie Djie Tong and his successors were those who continue to teach this style in the vicinity of Kampung Dadap.[1] From these places, the Beksi Silat styles spread throughout southeast Asia.[1][4][5]

It is estimated that there are at least 120 Beksi Silat clubs in the Jabodetabek area that participated in the Girli and Beksi Village Festival 2016 in the village of Batusari, in Batuceper, Tangerang.[6]

Generally, Beksi Silat schools teach 12 basic forms or moves (Betawi: jurus), each of which has its own advanced forms (Betawi: kembangan).[1][4] According to four grandmasters of Beksi schools in Petukangan, although there are differences in names and sequences, most schools teach at least 3 basic forms with the same names and sequences, namely: 1.
