The Tiger from Tjampa (1953)

From IMDb: “The pencak silat seen in the film is regionally specific to West Sumatra. Silat in many other Indonesian films is often mixed with the kung fu of Hong Kong cinema.”

I think silat was created for people fighting on narrow raised walkways above water canals. I saw the “Ong Bak” series, and, “Chocolate” just today, but they’re more Muay Thai (and, I don’t know how that relates to silat but I wanna see more silat).
