17 September Hari Sang Sapurba

Tanggal 17 September setiap tahun sebagaimana yang diceritakan oleh Almarhum adalah disebut sebagai Hari Sang Sapurba.Sempena pada hari yang penuh bersejarah ini,  dikisahkan serba sedikit akan Tri Buana Sang Sapurba ini, semoga menjadi ingatan pada anak-anak Gayong.Beginilah penceritaannya yang dapat dikongsikan sebagaimana yang disampaikan suatu ketika dahulu di tanah bertuah yang bergelar Air kuning,Taiping:

Sang Sapurba satu gelaran yang tidak asing lagi dalam alam Melayu.Begitu juga didalam pertubuhan Silat Seni Gayong. Bermulanya sejarah Sang Sapuba ini yang bersusurgalur dari Melayu Srivijaya apabila Sang Nila Pahlawan[bitjitram syah] dimasyhurkan menjadi Raja Melayu dan permasyhuran itu dititahkan di Bukit Seguntang. Mulai saat itu gelaran Sang Sapurba Seri TriMurthi Tri Buana dimasyhurkan semula sebagai meneruskan alam berRaja Melayu ini. Sang Sapuba inilah penerus memastikan berkesinambungannya Raja-Raja Melayu yang memerintah di alam nusantara Melayu ini sebelum dan selepasnya.

Sang Sapuba juga memberi kata makna mula dan akhir bagi setiap Raja- Raja Melayu. dalam erti kata keturunan raja inilah yang menjadi pemerintah alam Melayu ini.Didalam Silat Seni Gayong ,permasyhuran Sang Sapurba keatas Almarhum DYMM Sultan Idris Iskandar Shah 2, sultan pemerintah Negeri Perak dilaksanakan pada awal 70an membawa maksud yang tersirat.

Dato Meor Abdul Rahman dan DYMM Sultan Idris Sang Sapurba Negara

Permasyhuran Sang Sapuba bukan satu mainan atau sekadar dongengan sejarah jika mahu dilaksanakan.Ianya perlu dilakukan dengan penuh teliti akan aspek adat istiadat yang telah diperturunkan semenjak seawalnya lagi.Jangan ianya menjadi bahan kerakusan politik untuk pertubuhan sahaja dan rasa syok sendiri .Tanya pada diri kita siapakah yang layak melakukan permasyhuran ini? Adakah pemilihan untuk permasyhuran itu kena pada masa dan tempatnya? dan banyak lagi persoalan yang perlu dijawab disini.

Perebutan permasyhuran tidak akan membawa kemana , apa yang penting ianya hendaklah  dilaksanakan yang terbaik dari segi adat-istiadatnya.

Siapakah yang akan memikul tanggungjawab sebagai "Batala"nya?

Siapakah yang benar-benar lengkap kefahaman adatnya?

Siapakah yang berkebolehan mencemar duli?

Siapakah yang mempunyai taraf sedemikian?

Ilmu perlu dituntut,bukan diwarisi sebagai petikan sedikit ingatan kata-kata dari Almarhum Tuan Syed Zainal Al Attas.

Jangan tersalah langkah mencemar duli ,akan termakan pula daulahnya.Ingin diutarakan juga sedikit lagi soalan.Apa pentingnya Sang Sapurba bagi Melayu? Apa peranannya Silat Seni Gayong dalam hal Sang Sapurba ini? Apa sebenarnya Silat Seni Gayong ini?

Permasyhuran ini adalah satu kerja yang amat besar, sedangkan kita masih bertelagah tentang adat-istiadat dalam Silat Seni Gayong ini.Kerja perkhataman yang besar pun kita masih gagal melaksanakan dengan terbaik dan terlalu banyak versinya.Inikan pula kita hendak melangkah bagi melaksanakan permasyhuran Sang Sapurba.Tepuk dada tanya selera.Perbincangan yang mendalam perlu tersemat sebelum semuanya dibuat.Mengenal pasti jawapan kepada pelbagai persoalan perlu diselesaikan.

Ingin dikongsikan sedikit hal Sang Sapuba ini. Sang Sapuba ini jika tiada yang mengiringi selengkapnya {perkara yang perlu difahami sedalamnya} maka janganlah kita cuba meneroka susurnya.

Pertabalan Raja sebagai Sang Sapurba hendaklah dilaksanakan beberapa perkara :

1} Diperlimau tapak Raja yang berkenaan.

2] Disiram Raja yang berkenaan dengan penuh adat istiadat.

3} Diterima perjanjiannya atau angkat sumpahnya [lafaz katanya yang betul dengan penuh susunan].Perjanjiannya itu adalah menyatakan kesetiaan ahli Gayong kepada Raja dan kesetiaan Raja kepada ahli Gayong dan saling tidak boleh derhaka.Nescaya derhaka akan ditimpa bala dari Allah Taala. Penerimaan ini diterima dengan penuh janjinya bersyafaatkan saksi baginda Rasulullah saw. selesailah pertabalan itu.

Semoga dengan perkongsian kecil ini menjadi jambatan bagi anak-anak Gayong khasnya dan orang Melayu khususnya akan perihal kedudukan Raja ini. Hatta sistem beraja Melayu memang penuh pengkhususannya ada Raja memerintah ada Raja adat, yang perlu difahami oleh kita bangsa Melayu. Pegangan perjanjian ini wujud rukun damai dikalangan Melayu dilindungi dan diberkati serta dilimpahi rahmat dari Sang Pencipta Sekelian Alam.

Semoga kita diberkati.

 

Kaedah Pelajaran Seni Kaki Silat Seni Gayong

Terlalu lama tidak menulis mengenai pelajaran dalam Silat Seni Gayong. Kali ini dikongsikan yang dikatakan pelajaran kaki, yang mempunyai kaedah serangan dan kuncian dan elakan. Memang telah ada pelajaran ini didalam Silat Seni Gayong cuma susunannya yang berbeza dari semua pertubuhan yang jalurnya dari Arwah Dato Meor.

Yang dikatakan serangan dalam kaedah kaki ini adalah kaedah bagaimana melakukan serangan menggunakan kaki dari pelbagai sudut mata angin.Walaupun pada permulaannya ditunjuk ajar akan serangan yang hanya dilakukan pada arah depan. Kepentingan kaki dalam Silat Seni Gayong bersifat sebagai penunjal bagi setiap serangan agar mencari ruang untuk tindakan seterusnya samada pukulan dengan tangan mahupun kunciannya.Walaupun sebagai penunjal impact yang dirasakan semasa serangan kaki tersebut boleh menyebabkan kesan yang parah.Apa yang perlu difahami disini kaedah serangan kaki tersebut mesti mengenai sasaran seni nya yang tepat dan begitu juga disertai dengan kedudukan badan serta kedudukkan tapak yang kemas berseni dan dalam jarak yang sesuai berserta dengan anjakan tujahan yang tepat sama sekali.

Yang dikatakan kuncian kaki pula adalah kaedah kuncian dengan menggunakan kaki atau pun dengan tangan keatas serangan kaki yang datang mahu pun keatas penyudahan satu-satu serangan.Didalam kaedah ini pelbagai kaedah dilakukan seperti patah alu,alu patah,kilas biawak dan sebagainya. Begitu juga dalam kaedah menyambut serangan kaki menggunakan sauk dalam.sauk luar,sauk tunggul dan sebagainya.

Pendek kata kelengkapan pelajaran Silat Seni Gayong memang diakui dan menjadi tugas kita memahami dan memegang kerahsiaannya agar kekal menjadi rujukan orang Melayu dan khazanah yang tidak boleh diperlekehkan atau diabaikan.

Semoga kita diberkati.

Adat - What Went Wrong?

Walking the street while wondering things surrounding  Gayong community around the world. I did noticed something that really interesting happening. The Gayong communities is represent with many criteria of individual and with different thinking, ideas and opinion. Sometimes it is good for the development of the art and sometimes it gives negative suggestion which if not making a deep thought will bring a calamities within the communities.

There comes adat-istiadat in Silat Seni Gayong, which has been neglected and sometimes mislead by some, due to not really understand what it is in reality or fact. Following, this so called guide and rules is to educate the community of Gayong to be in a great order. It was like a book of law. But as usual without the full knowledge we intent to put remarks or comments that might mislead the communities.

The adat-istiadat in Silat Seni Gayong comprise of many subject. It is educating the community to be behave accordingly and respecting each others. Sometimes we over used the manner and putting a trade mark that this is correct and that is wrong. A questions here..Are we really have the full knowledge of it? If we said we do..why we make an evolution for what has been practice since. Are we better than the founder?  Do we have the knowledge of doing so? Do we have the right to say of what we are doing? There are so many questions in our thought that to be translate or waiting for an answer.

We are talking about adat-istiadat of Silat Seni Gayong which was not been opposed before during the founder was still around. Which we should do so in order for us to get the correct answer for all of adat behaviour. What went wrong? We felt afraid? Which we shouldn't.

Common evolutions we can found this days can be seen in adat perlimau tapak. Why is this happening? There are many type of doing pertaining this matters. Some just used water and green lemon without others material. Some left out few material especially "bertih","kemenyan". Others maybe evaluate in different forms. A questions what went wrong again? And we said we preserved and take adat,adap or whatever it is as a role in our Gayong communities. It is a sorrow to say that we don't.

Just a point to ponder as said by the founder,"Barangsiapa yang tidak menjalani adat-istiadat perlimau tapak Silat Seni Gayong, ia tidak boleh diiktirafkan sebagai murid Gayong dan sama sekali tidak sah mengaku dirinya ahli Gayong", Dato Meor Abdul Rahman. Let us take a minute to think deeply about that statement. If we do according to our evolution without preserving as per guidelines and teaching from the founder pertaining to this matter, does the act that we are doing valid with that statement? And we have a gut to claim that we perform the well said to be preserved adat-istiadat. If we thought it is yes than move on with whatever the believing and if not we must return back to our original way. We make our own choice. And as a view if we said about adat,adap and everything related and we don't act as per the guidance and teaching of the founder than we cannot consider we are steeping on that path because we don't have the knowledge and we can't say that we understand well.

As a conclusion let sit and really think deeply on all aspects of any corner of adat-istiadat,adap and related to find solution and hoping there will be follow accordingly as per the footstep of guidance and teaching of our beloved founder. Until then if we still in evolution we don't have the right to say that we are following the same passage. Al Fatihah.

Semoga kita diberkati.

The Complete Art

The exchanging of ideas and opinion is normal behavior of mankind. Recently I met a brothers of my respected and humbly friend. We were discussing about his family love of martial arts. He told me that he is crazy about training. He was trained in Karate and at one time he make a ran in the desert at 2pm afternoon. We just imaging as what we called crazy in the art he learned and looking for an answer of what he received during his days. He told me also that he cannot sleep thinking of the art and he felt uncomfortably , feeling missing something's in his finding. Until one day he was introduced to another style of Karate and he found out there is the difference in it. One of the different is that the techniques of take down, because on his previous style which was Karate also they do not have these techniques. On wards he was open to an idea that one martial arts is not enough for a practitioners to understand the way of the warrior and he felt that each martial arts compliments each others in term of knowledge. As a conclusion he closed with a remark that we need a true teacher as a guidance. A good point for us to ponder.

As a Malay we are lucky because in our art Silat Seni Gayong is a package system of the martial arts. We can considered that we almost have everything and should be proud of it that the art is an ancient art. It means in other words we are the developer of these art and a complete art of a warrior. We have takedown , striking , grappling etc and we should take these opportunities to preserved our lovely art rather than looking for other art as an alternative or as an additional. We should go deeply in the art and seeking truly knowledge from true masters because it was a one way centre. Where else other people need to passed through rough time for gaining the complete art. As I remembered it was said by the great founder that , the art of Silat Seni Gayong is the mother of martial arts. This evidence of conversation I had with my beloved brother  friends making another stamp or endorsement of what has been said by the founder of Silat Seni Gayong is true.

Let us begin our journey without stopping in this beloved art and making sure of the long-lasting of what has been delivered by generations. There for please keep up the good phase in preserving this ancient art and feel proud of it without forgetting that we will always be remain as human no matters where we are. I am making a stand here based on my experienced teaching and sharing with many masters from different background and upon knowledgeable discussion , Silat Seni Gayong remaining as one of  the complete art of self defense and a truly an art of the warriors. For the Malay's , please take note that we are a nation that has to be proud of what we have and a great nation with many mysteries to be dig out for our future generations remembrance and to live with it.

Semoga kita diberkati.
