The origin of martial arts in this archipelago is also the possibility of developing of skills Indonesian indigenous tribes in the hunt and fight with machetes, shields, and spears, such as in the tradition of Nias tribe until the 20th century relatively untouched outside influences.
Silat is expected to spread in the archipelago since the 7th century BC, but its origin can not be determined with certainty. Great kingdoms, such as Srivijaya and Majapahit mentioned have great warrior-warrior who master the martial arts and can collect soldiers in self-defense skill reliable. Donald F. Draeger martial researchers found evidence of martial arts can be seen from a variety of weapons recovered artifacts from the classical period (Hindu-Buddhist) and the carved reliefs containing attitudes martial horses in Prambanan and Borobudur temple. In his book, Draeger wrote that weapons and martial arts martial is indispensable, not only in body work, but also on the spiritual relationship which is closely related to the culture of Indonesia.
