Pendekar Nusantara
Java

In a village, at the end of a pesawahan.

"Krakk... Krakkk crlek, "the sound of splitting wood.

"Oh... Aska's awake!" man Mang Asep told Aska. Aska was five years old.

"Muhun Mang..," replied Aska while rubbing her eyes.

(Muhun\=iya)

"In the kitchen there are yams, eaten first, after eating us to the nyari river Fish," Mang Asep smiled as he stroked Aska's head.

Not long after Aska and Mang Asep went to the river, passing through pesawahan and mountain trails to reach the destination.

Arriving at the river, Asep mang immediately opened the net and got a lot of fish.

"Hewuuh's... It doesn't feel like it's late in the afternoon" said Mang Asep sighing as he stared at the twilight sky.

"Aska, we're home." Askapun rushed home to follow Mang Asep.

***

Next day.

"O.o.o.ooo..," the sound of chicken.

"Aska... Aska wake!" Mang Asep called and woke Aska in the morning blind from outside the house.

Askapun directly out washing your face using water in a jug.

"Here's Aska."

Aska approached Mang Asep without saying.

"Now it is time for you to learn Pencak Silat," said Mang Asep holding the shoulder of Aska.

Aska who was just five years old was confused, did not know pencak silat.

"What is Silat?" ask Aska curiously.

"Silat's enforcer, a martial movement against the wicked. Pencak Silat can also be used to help others and protect the weak," said Mang Asep explained the meaning, purpose and purpose of Pencak Silat slowly.

Aska nodded without saying with a pleased face.

"Before the exercise we eat first," said Mang Asep embracing Pundak Aska.

Aska rushed to eat with Mang Asep.

***

A few moments later.

In the middle of the home page.

"This horse must be perfect so that the basic movement is also perfect" said Mang Asep confirming the position of the hands and feet Aska.

"Follow the Amang movement. Hiat.hiat.tsaah..."

***

Pencak Silat is a fighting movement that relies on all five senses, from the eyes, ears, nose, hands and feet. It even includes the fighting instinct to feel the air and so on. Pencak silat existed for thousands of years ago without knowing who the creator is and what the true purpose and purpose of Pencak Silat.

In Bumi Nusantara there are many pieces of Pencak Silat, even various streams. Many people study silat to become a swordsman.

A warrior is one who studies Pencak Silat to help others, to defend good people and to help the weak.

Aska daily life is filled with practicing silat, from starting to launch punches, kicks, jumps and runs through the paths of pesawahan and mountains to increase the physical strength of the soul and body.

***

Ten years later.

"Tracks... Trak tek," stick fight. Aska hit the top, turn the back and jointed the upper lower punch. All the movements of the aska were held by Mang Asep and directly attacked the Aska with the Maung Jump Punch.

"Hiiiayahh..." "Cscot." Aska held the blow with the Cross Claw Maung Skill Stroke as well as ending the fight.

For ten years Aska has mastered all the movements of silat science handed down by Mang Asep.

"Aska, look carefully," said Mang Asep breathing in and putting up the horses, turning his right and left hands opposite. Then take off the punch leads to a wooden rod that is a few meters away. Mang Asep's punch let out an invisible energy blow until the log was smashed into pieces.

"Ajarkeun ka Aska atuh Mang!" aska. So shocked and happy to see the amazing silat style, Aska immediately practiced perfunctory. "Deeh wuuus.. Hiahhwuus..."

(Ajarkeun\=Finger)

"Hahaha!!!" Mang Asep laughed out loud seeing Aska practice the style carelessly.

"Why are you Aska again?" asked Mang Asep while holding back a laugh.

"Again the rich training style amang!" answer Aska innocently.

"Pffl... Ahahaha!!!" Mang Asep laughed out loud again.

Aska confusion and embarrassment at the parade of Mang Asep.

"Prophe Aska, anything also needs a process. Nothing so straight away," Mang Asep chuckled.

"Here, the explanation used to be the same amang," Mang Asep explained to Aska while sitting under the tree of the courtyard of the house.

"Well, that's called Jeblag's Punch. Sabenernamah much of his name was tea. If the same amang given his name, it is" said Mang Asep.

(Sebenernamah\=benaa) (Thus tea\=tadi it)

"How do you do Mang?" ask Aska curiously.

"The move was using deep power, so the first thing to be trained was the opening and gathering of internal energy" said Mang Asep.

***

Internal energy is the energy that is in the body. Everyone has energy in their own bodies, only that some are open and some are closed. To open the power in the process takes many years and for use must be trained periodically, because if wrong in the use or use of power in and beyond the limits of the ability of the person can hurt themselves.

For a style, the inner energy is released through a punch or a palm that is shaken. So that the overflow of energy can come out quickly and can destroy objects in front.

There are not many warriors who master the power in, because the training is very difficult.

***

Next day.

At the top of Mount Awi, near the ravine.

"The first part of training to open up internal energy by meditating" said Mang Asep.

"There! sit down please near the ravine," said Mang Asep.

Aska followed the direction of Mang Asep

"Holden his body! first of all close your eyes, keep calm and empty your mind, feel the air around the area. If there is any air entering the body, hold it and control it. Don't get up before your time" said Mang Asep.

After directing Aska, Mang Asep immediately left.

***

The first day of Aska's meditation hasn't felt anything. Just feel the hot air during the day and cold at night and the breeze breeze, also just hear the whispers of birds and tree leaves blown by the wind.

Arriving on the fifth day, Aska began to feel tired because he had not eaten and slept for four days. However, Aska continued to focus quietly.

Entering the sixth day, Aska was so exhausted that she felt the heat energy inside and the cold outside being irregular. Aska's heart rate began to weaken and breathing began to heavy.

Aska trus controlled the feeling of air with all his might until cold sweat poured out.

After two days of feeling the strange air, Aska woke up Asep mang by sticking a palm on his back to give a little calmness in light so that the energy in the body of Aska more stable.

Ask awake.

"Where's Aska? what have you been feeling this week?" ask Mang Asep.

Aska explained how she felt during her mediation for the past week. From the start of the sounds, fatigue, to feel the entry of heat and cold energy into the body of Aska.

"Good Aska! good," said Mang Asep praising Aska while patting her shoulder.

"You've made it through the opening part in just a week. Amang took a month. Amang knows you are talented hahaha," Mang Asep laughed happily at Aska's achievement and praised her.

"Further Aska, the training and control of heat energy" said Mang Asep.

Aska and Mang Asep rushed home to recover Aska's power before further training.
