Silek Harimau, better known today as Harimau Pencak Silat, is the rare and infamous fighting style from the Minangkabau tribe of West Sumatra. This fighting system is based on the Sumatran tiger and as a result its approach to combat is both unortho- dox and extremely effective. The art, like its inspira tion the tiger, is fast becoming extinct due to the lack of students willing to study in the strenuous and demanding training program.
Dark Gift: The Origins of Silek Harimau is an indie documentary film that took over seven years to produce. It is a unique and unprecedented attempt to trace the historic lineage and respected Harimau Silat masters across the globe. Follow the origins of this tribal warfare martial art system from Indonesia’s dense forests to the urban jungles of London and the United States.
For many years the art of Silek Harimau was underground and very secretive. Now, for the first time, the practitioners of this art open the doors to their classes and reveal the secrets of the art referred to as the dark gift.
