Article: Pencak silat combat: dominant technique in national student competition based on gender and weight Journal: International Journal of Innovation and Learning (IJIL) 2025 Vol.37 No.1 pp.1 - 15 Abstract: This research analyses the technical actions of student Pencak silat athletes in national competitions. A total of 180 student-athletes (114 male, 66 female) were observed using notation system analysis in 90 game video recordings (57 male, 33 female). Punches (PT), round-kicks (RK), front-kicks (FK), sidekicks (SK), back-kicks (BK), slams (SL), cuts (CUT), and sweeps (SW) are recorded compared by gender and the results. The most used technique was RK (9.89 ± 4.68), followed by PT (7.12 ± 4.090), FK (4.30 ± 2.37), SK (3.31 ± 1.73), SL (2.09 ± 1.04), CUT (1.60 ± 1.53), SW (0.97 ± 0.83), and BK (0.15 ± 0.11). Female athletes were more likely to use CUT actions (1.60 ± 1.53) than male athletes (p < 0.05). Most technical measures had poor efficacy, and there were changes in PT, RK, FK, SK, BK, SL, CUT, and SW with moderate effect sizes (ES 0.1-0.8), resulting in a success: failure ratio technical action (1: 1.6). These findings suggest optimizing training techniques for accuracy, coordination, and technical skills because correct target contact will result in points.
