1.3 Time on the Arena within Match

Generally, there are two types of motions in Pencak Silat: the core motion (attacking
or fighting movements in Match and Artistic), as well as interval motion (patterns or
development in match and performing stances in artistic).

There are three rounds in a match competition, which each round clocked to two
minutes. In one round, an average of six attacks are launched, with each attack taking
5 – 6 seconds to perform. Before attacking, the competitor will move around for
approximately 7 – 8 seconds.

In the artistic category, competitors have three minutes in the arena to showcase
their performance. Single (Tunggal) competitor will perform twelve types of package
of Tunggal movements; double (Ganda) competitors will be performed by two
competitors by choreographing fighting scenes – fight scenes will need to include
weapon play and movements needs to be realistic, while team (Regu) competitors
will perform by three competitors using the Regu movements, and competitors must
move in synchronization.

1.4 Performance Enhancing Drugs in Pencak Silat
