We had a chance to organize a very intensive Silat Seni Gayong seminar only for Instructors and Professors of the "Parang - Tekpi" arts at the Cameron Highland. Tekpi, is one of the traditional weapons in the Malay world. It is a false assumption of saying Tekpi is a weapon that is unique only to the Japanese martial art such as Okinawa. Long before this weapon reached Okinawa island, it has existed throughout the Southeast Asia archipelagos. In India, it is known with the name Trishula, a weapon that is attributed to Shiva. In Indonesia it is known as Cabang or Trisula. In Malaysia, we call it Tekpi. In Japan, it is known in Kobudo and Ninjitsu as Sai. If you have this "Tekpi" in your country, what are you calling them? Please let share with me!
