Silat Warisan Budaya Saya Book Series

Silat Warisan Budaya Saya by Isiah Majid is a compelling book series that celebrates the rich tapestry of Malay culture through the dynamic lens of pencak silat. Centred on the journey of Dina and Bahqer, two young students from a local silat club, the series invites readers to step into a world where tradition, language, and movement converge.

As Dina and Bahqer deepen their practice, they uncover not just martial techniques but cultural gems—phrases like “mengambur anak harimau” and “tangkapan kapis”—terms that roll off the tongues of seasoned practitioners yet sound like poetic riddles to the uninitiated. These expressions are more than just combat instructions; they reflect values, metaphors, and the worldview embedded in Malay heritage.

Through their story, Isiah Majid opens a portal into the world of silat as more than a martial art. It becomes a vessel for language, a keeper of stories, and a living tradition that continues to shape identity and inspire generations. Silat Warisan Budaya Saya is a stirring reminder of how culture is best learnt not just through books or classrooms, but through the heart, body, and spirit.
