Activity Profile between Winners and Losers Silat Olahraga Women Class B, C and D In 28th Sea Games Singapore 2015

ABSTRACT

              The Malay martial art of pencak silat is an importance source of traditional acting technique. The aim of this study was to investigate the winning and losing factors of silat olahraga women Class B, C and D between Singapore, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam in Silat Olahraga during 28th SEA Games Singapore 2015. Five (5) matches was selected, women semifinal Class B between Singapore and Laos, women quarterfinal Class C between Singapore and Indonesia, women quarterfinal Class D between Singapore and Thailand, women semifinal Class D between Malaysia and Singapore and women final class D between Malaysia and Vietnam. The reason for this review was 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, M., 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, M. et al. (2013). The descriptive analysis was used to determine the difference performance between the winner and loser in silat matches.

INTRODUCTION

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, and 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.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore and Laos is the team that are selected to be the sample or subject. The data analysis has been collected from 28th SEA Games Singapore 2015 women semifinal Class B between Singapore and Laos, women quarterfinal Class C between Singapore and Indonesia, women quarterfinal Class D between Singapore and Thailand, women semifinal Class D between Malaysia and Singapore and women final class D between Malaysia and Vietnam by using the Sport Singapore 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. By watching these videos, the matches have been used to notated and analyzed in this study.
Every match consists of three (3) rounds in total of fighting. Two (2) minutes for every round, with 1 minute rest between each round. The outcome used is hit target, hit elsewhere and miss opponent. Hit target will be counted if the kick and topple is made hit the body pad or target. Hit elsewhere if the kick and topple is made hit the other part of body that not hit the target or body pad. Meanwhile the miss opponent will be counted when the kick or topple is made did not hit the opponent.

MATCH ANALYSIS

The video were used to analyze the 28th SEA Games Singapore 2015 women semifinal Class B between Singapore and Laos, women quarterfinal Class C between Singapore and Indonesia, women quarterfinal Class D between Singapore and Thailand, women semifinal Class D between Malaysia and Singapore and women final class D between Malaysia and Vietnam. Performance of the player was analyzed using a notational analysis which is all indicators were recorded manually through the video. The video were continual often to get the precise measurement of each offensive and defensive movement.

MOTION CATEGORIES

According to Shapie, M. et al. (2013), 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 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 exponent body’s (Anuar, 1992).
Kick:
The kick ‘tendang’ or ‘terajang’ is an ataacking 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’(Anuar, 1992).
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 (Anuar, 1992).
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 exit to protect the silat exponent’s (Anuar, 1992).
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 bad or from the side, shove, hit, kick, strike or punch to make the opponent lose his balance. Every falls is considered valid as long as the sila exponent topples his opponent down without wresting or he is able to overpower the opponent whom he has brought down (Anuar, 1992).
Sweep:
Swiping ‘sapuan’ involves attacking an opponent’s leg which is on the ground to unstable him and brings down to the ground. A silat exponent can perform this attacking movement either with his right or left leg. Hence, front sweep ‘sapuan depan’ is done by swinging the leg to the front to push an opponent’s leg, while back sweep ‘sapuan belakang’ is carried out by swinging the leg backward to hit the back leg (Anuar, 1992).
Evade/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’ ducking ‘susup’ and etc. (Anuar, 1992).
Self-Release:
Self-release ‘lepas tangkapan’ technique is a technique to unlock any clinch or catch from an opponent (Anuar, 1993)
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 leg to kick the opponent (Shapie, Oliver, O’Donoghue, & Tong, 2013).
Block and Kick:
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 (Shapie et al., 2013). 
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 (Shapie et al., 2013).
Fake Punch:
An action which a silat exponent intends to confuse the opponent using a fake punch to break his opponent’s defensive posture (Shapie et al., 2013).
Fake Kick:
An action which a silat exponent intends to confuse the opponent using a fake kick to break his opponent defensive posture (Shapie et al., 2013).
All the activities are considered high intensity except for others which at that time both silat exponents are in low intensity periods.

RELIABILITY OF OBSERVATION

The author analyzed all the activities and simultaneously classified each changes of motion in a single match. Two observations were done separated by 48 hours. It requires experienced silat practitioners to analyze the data as the movement of both exponents was fast, needing close inspection. The classification of movement was subjective with work being classified according to the instruction given by the referee.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

The observation generated data will be frequency counted, a method of recording in observational research in which the researcher records each occurrence clearly defined behavior within a certain time frame. All the raw data collected from all matches use the system produced by Shapie, M. M., Oliver, O’donoghue, and Tong (2013). Statistical analysis and result was calculated using Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) version 20. Independent T-Test was used to determine the performance data between winner and loser. The video is notated at least two times, and the data will be taken more accurate. The frequency was taken as data to be analyzed. The remark generated data will be regularity counted, and every round of data will be composed to be analyzed. All the raw data were exported into Microsoft Word and transferred into SPSS for further detailed analysis. Mean and standard deviation (SD) for all the markers has been computed to locate the measurable factors that separated winning and losing individual. 

RESULT

Table below are shown the data that collected from watching the video and the analysis that taken out the mean and standard deviation selected performance indicator. The outcomes used are hit target, hit elsewhere and miss opponent.

DISCUSSION

Based on the data collected and result, the match between Singapore vs Indonesia was winning by Wewey Wita from Indonesia. What can I observed from the video was Indonesia did more attacking than Singapore. As we can see from the result, Indonesia makes 11 kick hit target, 1 punch hit target and 5 block and kick hit target. As we can saw the sampled paired test at the table above show, there were totally different in hit target between Indonesia and Singapore. This observation can saw that Indonesia attack more than Singapore. Singapore gives more opportunity to Indonesia to make more attacking during match.
The match of Singapore vs Malaysia class D 65kg category which Singapore lose this match, what can I observed from the video is Malaysia do more attacking than Singapore. As we can see from the result, Singapore makes only 6 times punch hit target, 4 times kick hit target and 3 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. Singapore gives more opportunity to Malaysia to make more attacking during match. In first round, Malaysia do 5 times strike kicking towards Singapore and it show that Singapore slower than Malaysia in make movement and attack towards her opponent and also not even once give an opportunity towards Singapore to make some movement. Malaysia makes 13 times punch hit target and 16 times kick hit target and 6 times topple towards her opponent for the whole match.
The match of Vietnam vs Malaysia recorded, the 4th table Vietnam has the mean of 1.86 and Malaysia is 1.88 a little bit higher than Malaysia. All the result shown that, higher means lost the game. In summary, Vietnam athletes have been chosen to see the factor of losing and winning in analyzing their motion category that they used. The mistake that Vietnam did is less self-release. They focus so much on punching and kicking that the Malaysia have been waiting to catch and straight down to swept the Vietnam athlete. Vietnam frequently using kicking on hit target but weak in defending and lack of self-release skill that they easily got toppled by Malaysia athlete. 
From the match result Singapore vs Laos class B 55kg category which Laos is winning this match, Laos is more used kicking skill than Singapore. That is why Laos get more point. Furthermore, Laos do less mistake that can deduct her point than Singapore. Besides kicking, Laos also do more block and kicking hit target to her opponent. Singapore also do more skill such as kicking and punching hit target but at the same time, Singapore do lot of mistake that deduct her point and finally got less point because of her mistakes. This is one of the different between winning and losing in silat olahraga. Competitor must wise to make strategy plan and technique during match.

CONCLUSION

Based on the previous study, punch hit target, kick hit target, sweep and topple skill was mostly used for winning and losing team. The current study has provided a great understanding of the information for the activity profile of 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. 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. 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. 

RECOMMENDATION

            It is recommended that both attacking and defensive skills should be balanced in their training programs. Attacks must be hit target to get the points, but at the same time they have to increase their blocking in order to avoid the opponents to get their points. Coaches must plays the important role and consider these things. Based on the result, the main factor to win the match is punching hit target, because it give opportunity to punch their opponent as much as they can to get one point for one punch. Meanwhile, the participant should reduce the punch hit elsewhere because no point given for that punch. For the sweep skill, in order to decrease missed target, the fighter need to focus, in good position and try to estimate opponent’s next movement. Topple that hit the target is so important because it gives extra points. So, the recommendation here is the fighter must keep improve their technical and tactical and maintaining the fitness in order to win the match.
