Pencak Silat

I think that ‘pencak silat’ is very interesting. I have seen several ‘pencak silat’ fights and each one has been different from the other. I have noticed that some things seem to be different every time. First the two men who are going to fight sit down quietly in their opposite corners. Then they stand up and move their arms and legs to get them ready. Finally they turn toward each other, and the fight begins. In the kind of ‘pencak silat’ that I like best, one man has a knife and the other man tries to take it a way from him. They have to have great skill, and the way they move about is almost like a dance. I like it especially because no one is hurt in the fight.
