Ikhtiar Ikhtiar is developed in Malaysia. The approach and implementation are realistic. Absolutely no myths, no magic, no party tricks. A certain level of tradition is maintained concerning mannerism and culture. Ikhtiar does not have the unrealistic and arrogant claim to be a 'complete' system. There is no such martial art in existence. It is merely a tool that can be used in many situations. The Badek is one of the many Indo/Malay weapons. It is believed to originate from Java, Indonesia, where it was invented and designed by the Bugis tribe. It is characterized by a single edge blade with a straight back and a distinctive curved hilt.

Ikhtiar Syllabus Ikhtiar consists of three parts which are trained simultaneously. The simplest but not easiest part is Berlari (running). The goal is to be able to run 10 kilometers within 60 minutes by the time the Ahli Ikhtiar has finished the syllabus. The average time to finish 10 kilometers for leisure joggers is 55 minutes, therefore a goal of within 60 minutes is easily achievable. The second part of Ikhtiar is Teknik Akhir. Teknik Akhir are the finishing techniques. These are defense and attack techniques that end in a finishing or ending way.  The third part, Teknik Pengangan, are the techniques that end with a hold or restraint. Both Akhir and Pengangan are taught from Sentuhan. Sentuh means 'touch'. Sentuhan can be translated to cling, clinch or touch.  The reason for using Sentuhan is to avoid using unrealistic entries or blocks.

Ikhtiar Badek Racun When a student has completed Ikhtiar Badek and has earned his black belt-red stripe, it is possible to learn about Ikhtiar Badek Racun. Not many schools still teach about poisons. As we don't hunt for food anymore and we don't have many local tribal wars, the need for poisons has disappeared. In the old days Silat schools had their preference of poisons depending on their needs and had their recipe for making them. They were often secret and they would add certain ingredients to make things worse for the receiver whether it was man or animal. The poisonous sources are hardly a secret. Poisoned arrows and blades are still used widely in the jungle areas of South East Asia although often against the law. Note: We do not do anything unlawfull.
