Pencak Silat GADJAH PUTIH JATI WISESA
This style of Pencak Silat was founded by the last Maha Guru "AJI"
(GADJAH PUTIH or White Elephant) of Garut in West Java in the early 1950's. Presently
this style is under the supervision of Guru Besar Bapak A. Wajihaddin.
The elements of the style consist of 25 jurus (movements/forms),
10 pernafasan (breathing forms), 9 langkah (extended forms),
and a wide variety of two-person training drills.
The distintive langkah (in this case, footwork) play an important role in coordinating
the technical purpose and penetration of the jurus. Breaking, twisting,
a variety of elbow and take-down techniques with the aid of body
weight combined with agile movements mark this style distinctively
from other silat styles. The body conditioning usually is done through
breathing exercises which build the inner strength (rasa) and sharpen the
five senses.
Initial training in Jati Wisesa is built upon the core set of jurus (forms).
Each is learned in strict form, performed as a free form
dance kembangan (flower) and applied as a practical technique
buah (fruit).
