Silek (Indonesian: Silat or Silat Minangkabau) is a martial art owned by the Minangkabau community, West Sumatra, Indonesia which is passed down from generation to generation. Minangkabau people have a habit of wandering since hundreds of years ago. To migrate, of course, they must have sufficient provisions to protect themselves from the worst things while traveling or overseas, for example being attacked or robbed by people. Apart from being a provision for migration, silek is important for the nagari's defense against external threats. Minangkabau silat can also be used as a means of entertainment combined with a drama called Randai. Which contains advice and advice from ancestors passed down from generation to generation
