The Malay martial art of pencak silat is an importance source of traditional acting technique. The reason for this review is to decide the silat diversion related statistic that separated between the winner and losing group in 28th Sea Games Singapore 2015. The game statistic consists of punch, kick, topple, block, block and kick, block and punch, block and sweep, fake kick, fake punch, self-release, catch, dodge and others . Yet it will be classified on the hit-target, hit-elsewhere and miss target (Shapie, Nizam, Oliver, O'donoghue, & Tong, 2013).The losing team makes less movement than the winning team. Moreover, the winning team makes the much better movement during competition. All the raw data collected from the all matches used the system produced by (Shapie et al., 2013). The descriptive analysis was used to determine the difference performance between the winner and loser in silat matches.
                Silat is a collective word for native’s martial arts that originates from Indonesia. It is traditionally practiced in Southern Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Brunei, Philippines and also Malaysia. Silat is a combative art of Malay fighting arts. Silat can be divided into two categories which are Silat Seni and Silat Olahraga (Farrer, 2009).Since the beginning of the 18th century till today, many silat practitioners still involve themselves in the kickboxing or Muay Thai competition because the movements and principles are quite similar to silat. There are exist of fundamental charges, times for each match, target district to ambush the adversary and the scoring point for each of the range that attacked (Aziz, Tan, & Teh, 2002).In September 1979, Jakarta was the host of fourteenth SEA Games. At the point when the SEA amusements were held, Indonesian Pencak Silat Federation (IPSA) introduced Pencak Silat Olahraga (known as Silat Olahraga). They have been sorted out the guidelines since 1973.
The uniqueness of Silat Olahraga is the rule. In the rule, there are exist of basic commands, time for each match, target area to attack the opponent, and the scoring point for each of the area that attacked. For the basic commands, the ‘wasit’ which is referee will issue the command 'Sedia', meaning 'ready'. Then, he will shout 'Mulai', meaning 'begin'. Immediately the 'gong' will be struck. When the wasit wants to stop the fight, he will shout 'Berhenti', meaning 'stop'. Every time the fighters step out of the ring, the wasit will stop the fight and bring the fighters back to the center. If a fighter repeatedly steps outside the ring, especially if stepping backwards, the wasit may issue a penalty point. If pesilat continues to do that he may be given 2 penalty points. If pesilat still continues to step out of the ring, the wasit may even decide to end the fight and proclaim pesilat opponent the winner. There are three rounds of fighting, 2 minutes for every round, with 1 minute rest between each round.
The data has been collected based on 28th Sea Games Singapore 2015 women 65kg class D quarterfinals pencak silat tanding category between Singapore and Thailand and The video was collected by using the YouTube Channel. The winning and losing participant will be classified and the game-related statistics were collected. Data collected was hit target, hit elsewhere and miss target. The video has been notated by Nur Elina binti Saleh.
Silat exponent’s motions were coded into 14 different types of categories and were defined as follows:
Punch: The punch ‘tumbuk’ attack is done by a hand with a closed fist hitting the target. In silat punching is often used to fight the opponent. It can be a straight punch ‘tumbuk lurus’ or uppercut ‘sauk’ to the exponent body.
Kick: The kick ‘tendang or terajang’ is an attacking movement which is performed with one leg or two legs simultaneously. A kick can be aimed at any target. It can be front kick ‘tendang depan’, side-kick ‘depak’ or semi-circular side kick ‘tendang lengkar’.
Sweep: The blocking movements begin with the posture position ‘sikap pasang’ the exponent stands straight with his hands around his body or close to his chest. Blocking or parrying ‘tangkisan’ can be done using arms, elbows and legs with the purpose to block off or striking back at any attack.
Topple: There are various ways of toppling down one’s opponent. For example, a silat exponent ‘pesilat’ can either push, shove the opponent’s back leg from the bag or from the side, shove, hit, kick, strike or punch to make the opponent lose his balance. Every fall is considered valid as long as the silat exponent topples his opponent down without wrestling or he is able to overpower the opponent whom he has brought down.
Block: The blocking movements begin with the posture position ‘sikap pasang’ the exponent stands straight with his hands around his body or close to his chest. Blocking or parrying ‘tangkisan’ can be done using arms, elbows and legs with the purpose to block off or striking back at any attack.
Catch: The catch ‘tangkapan’ is done by using the hand to obstruct the opponent from carrying out an attack. The silat exponent is able to prevent himself from being attacked by pointing the attack which he has caught to another direction. A catch which twists or drags the opponent is forbidden. Also, a catch which could break the part which is being held such as the leg and waist is also forbidden. These regulations exist to protect the silat exponents.
Dodge: The evade ‘elakan’ technique is carried out by silat exponent when he tries to evade an attack. This technique does not require the silat exponent to touch the opponent in fending off the attack. They are many ways of carrying out his defensive movement such as dodging ‘gelek’, retreat ‘mundur’, evasion to the side ‘elak sisi’, bending ‘elak serung’, jumping ‘lonjak’ and ducking ‘susup’.
Self-Release: Self-release ‘lepas tangkapan’ technique is a technique to unlock any clinch or catch from an opponent.
Block and Punch: The blocking technique is used to block any hand or leg attack from the opponent and followed by counter attack using the hand to punch the opponent.
Block and Kick: The blocking technique is used to block any hand or leg attack from the opponent and followed by counter attack using the leg to kick the opponent.
Block and Sweep: The blocking technique is used to block any hand or leg attack from the opponent and followed by counter attack using sweeping technique to the opponent.
Fake Punch: An action which a silat exponent intends to confuse the opponent using a fake punch to break his opponent’s defensive posture.
Fake Kick: An action which a silat exponent intends to confuse the opponent using a fake kick to break his opponent defensive posture.

Pencak Silat is a popular Asian martial art. This game is exceptionally intriguing in light of the fact that it includes an ability that was a mix of hand to hand fighting aptitudes, battling, and self-protection. The examination past is states that silat competitors tought to be extraordinary in both kicking and punching yet punching recurrence is lower than a kicking (Shapie et al., 2013). However, silat competitors should create punching ability speedier and precise in light of the fact that punching is the high rate effective of hitting target contrast with kicking expertise in rivalry (Shapie et al., 2013).
For the  match result which is Singapore vs Thailand class D 65kg category which Singapore is winning this match, what can I observed from the video is Singapore do more attacking than Thailand. As we can see from the result, Singapore makes 19 times punch hit target, 14 times kick hit target and 2 times topple toward her opponent. As we can see the sample paired test at the table above show, there are totally different between winning and losing. This observation for the winner while for the loser is Thailand make less attacking during match. Thailand gives more opportunity to Singapore to make more attacking during match. In first round, Singapore do 3 times strike kicking towards Thailand and it show that Singapore very fast make a movement and attack towards her opponent and also not even once give an opportunity towards Thailand to make some movement. Thailand just makes 5 times punch hit target and 11 times kick hit target towards her opponent for the whole match. During the low intensity activity both of the silat exponents were deemed to be performing low activity actions such as “sikap pasang” posture or coming close to each other using silat step pattern “pola langkah”. Silat competitors must improve their fitness level to improve the performance (Fong & Ng, 2011)
            
            Based on the researcher, punch hit target, kick hit target, sweep and topple skill was mostly used for winning team(Anuar, 1993)The current study has provided a great understanding of the information for the silat by looking at the activity involved in competition. Both of the exponents performed more high intensity actions than low intensity actions.
Based on the observation, the winning team used a lot of technique or skill that involve the higher point such as topple down and sweep. The competitor should improve their skill especially on topple and sweep. Besides, all the four video matches that I observed and what can I saw the weakness are the competitor had lack of speed and power on kicking, punching, topple down and sweep. They should improve their fitness level especially on speed and power to make better movement and very fast during match. If an athlete is able to increase the effectiveness of mass of their training skills, they will produce a great momentum of their skills during competition (Lenetsky, Nates, Brughelli, & Harris, 2015). Overall, there are 4 video matches that I got and observed from the YouTube and all this video are not same category. There are 3 categories from this 4 video which are category class B, C and D. From all the video that I observed, Singapore just winning 1 game and another 3 matches are losing. All the matches had shown the result and also shown the different result between winning and losing at above.
Silat olahraga is the native martial art and very famous Malay sport in Malaysia (Shapie et al., 2013). This sport expose very well in Malaysia and many folks want to involve this sport. This sport involves high intensity in fitness level especially in speed and power. All the competitor should improve and develop more fitness level especially in speed and power if want to be more expert athlete in silat olahraga.
