IPSF-PERSILAT would not be the success it is today if it were not for our four founding countries. In March of 1980, though the love of Pencak Silat, our forefathers united together from Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia to create PERSEKUTUAN PENCAK SILAT ANTARABANGSA, abbreviated as PERSILAT. Today with over 70 member countries from around the world we honor them with the next generation carrying the torch of the Pencak Silat Movement.
