THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WINNER AND LOSER OF PLAYER SILAT MATCHES IN SEA GAMES SINGAPORE 2015.


ABSTRACT
The purpose of the proposed study to determine the relationship between winning and losing of silat match in Sean Games Singapore 2015. Data were collected from the four matches of silat which is Day 6 for Men’s Category Class A, Category Men’s Class E for Day 9, Semi-final for Category Men’s Class E and the Semi-final Category Men’s Class H. The totals of 13 performance indicator were being selected as the variable in this study. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. There are many different form and techniques in silat but focus is concentrated on strikes, joint manipulation, throws and bladed weaponry.  The results showed Malaysia had won in the four matches that had being chosen and the motions of Malaysia used on the match were higher than the opponent teams.   A videos recording during the match were used in this analysis. The fours matches were choose from the same category but different Class which is different in weight criteria.  

INTRODUCTION
Silat is a collective word for a class of indigenous martial arts from a geo-cultural area of Southeast Asia encompassing most of the Nusantara, the Indonesian Archipelago and the entirety of the Malay Peningsula. Silat is the essence of the fighting and self-defense. Silat can improve in self-defenses and it can be learned to use in competing a game which is it involve exciting, fun, and motivating for athlete. It creates involvement of the athletes in the class, larger excitement to improve and study new advanced skills, and motivating the athletes or the student in perform better in class.
The nature of work periods within any combat sports depend on the frequency, volume and type of the activity being performed. The distribution of fight time and break time has been determined in international silat competition in the previous research, which indicated that 62.6% of the match is spent in fight time. In addition, a single match contains 30.0 mean action periods with on average 15.3 s being performed with break periods averaging 8.4s. The work to rest ratio of 2:1 in silat might be misinterpreted if people count the action periods performed in silat in the same way as work periods in field games and rackets sports are interpreted.(Shapie, Oliver, O’Donoghue, & Tong, 2013).  The nature of “purposeful movement” in team games rallies in racket sports and action periods in martial arts are very different.
Performance indicator is a type of performance measurement. Performance measurement is the process of collecting, analyzing and reporting information regarding the performance of an individual, group, organization, system or component.

MATERIAL AND METHODS
Match analysis
For analyze, I choose 4 match of silat in Sea Games Singapore 2015for Men’s Category. For first match was came from category men’s  Class A (50kg) in Day 6, which is Arieffudin Ridzuan from Malaysia and Teerapong Muntaen from Thailand.  For second match was from men’s category Class E (70kg) in day 9 between Mohd Al Jufferi Jamari from Malaysia and Van Hoang Vu from Vietnam while the third match was from semi-final men’s category Class E (70kg) between Mohd Al Jufferi Jamari from Malaysia and Sheik Ferdous Sheik Alau’ddin from Singapore. For the Last match from semi-final Men’s category Class H (85kg) between Muhammad robial Sobri from Malaysia and Sheik Farhan Sheik Alau’ddin from Singapore.

Motion categories
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 a 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 the exponent body’s. (Shapie,et.all)
Kick:
The kick ‘tendang / terajang’ is an attacking 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’. (Shapie,et.all)
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. (Shapie,et.all)
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 exist to protect the silat exponent’s. (Shapie,et.all)
Topple:
There are various ways of toppling down one’s opponent. For example, a silat exponent ‘pesilat’ can push, shove the opponent’s back leg from the bag or from the side, shove, hit, kick, strike or punch to make the opponent lose his balance. Every fall is considered valid as long as the silat exponent topples his opponent down without wrestling or he is able to overpower the opponent whom he has brought down. (Shapie,et.all)
Sweep:
Swiping ‘sapuan’ involves attacking an opponent’s leg which is on the ground to unstabilize him and bring 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 front leg, while back sweep ‘sapuan belakang’ is carried out by swinging the leg backward to hit the back leg. (Shapie,et.all)
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. (Shapie,et.all)
Self-Release:
Self-release ‘lepas tangkapan’ technique is a technique to unlock any clinch or catch from an opponent. (Shapie,et.all)
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 hand to punch the opponent.(Shapie,et.all)
Block and Kick:
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,et.all)
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.all)
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.all)
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.all)
Others:
Both silat exponents are either in posture position ‘sikap pasang’ or coming close to each other using silat step pattern pola langkah’. All the activities are considered high intensity except for others which at that time both silat exponents are in low intensity periods. (Shapie,et.all)

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
All the raw data collected from all matches. Used the system produced by Shapie at all by 2013. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPS, version 22. A descriptive analysis was used to determine the different of performance between winner and losses in silat matches.

DISCUSSION
According to the result for this competition, for the first match, between Arieffudin Ridzuan from Malaysia and Teerapong Muntaen from Thailand in category Men’s 50kg Class A in day 6, Arieffudin Ridzuan from Malaysia won this game 3:2. For the second match,  Mohd Al Jufferi Jamari from Malaysia also won 4:1  in day 9 against the player from Vietnam which is Van Hoang Vu in Class E Men’s 70kg while for the third match was during semi-final men’s category Class E 70 kg is between Mohd Al Jufferi Jamari and Sheik Ferdous Sheik Alau’ddin  from Singapore, and the winner is from Malaysia which is the score 5:0. Lastly in category Men’s 85kg Class H in final between Muhammad Robial Sobri from Malaysia, Tri Juanda Samsul Bahar and Sheik Farhan Sheik Alau’ddin was won this gamein score 5:0.
For the first match, , between Arieffudin Ridzuan from Malaysia and Teerapong Muntaen from Thailand in category Men’s 50kg Class A in day 6, Arieffudin Ridzuan from Malaysia  which is in Red corner was won this game 3:2. This is because the player from Red corner is using more kick than the opponent, he also use more punch and sweep to against his opponent. The player from Red corner was using more attacking than player from Blue corner. Both teams have well in strength and fitness.
For the second match, Mohd Al Jufferi Jamari from Red corner also won 4:1 was against the player from Vietnam which is from Blue corner was Van Hoang Vu in Class E Men’s 70kg. This is because the player from Red corner used more sweeps and topples than the Blue corner. But Blue corner was more attacking the opponent by using more kicking but the kicking were not accurate. Red corner player had a really good agility and reaction time.
For the third match is during semi-final men’s category Class E 70kg  between Red corner which is player Mohd Al Jufferi Jamari from Malaysia and Blue corner player from Singapore there is Sheik Ferdous Sheik Alau’ddin, and Red corner player is winning this game 5:0. This is because player from Red corner use more punch and sweep than the opponent from Blue corner. Player from Red corner is more defending and attacking than the Blue corner player. The player from Blue corner have low level of fitness, have low reaction time, speed and not aggressive like player from Red corner.
Lastly in category Men’s 85kg Class H in semi-final between Muhammad Robial Sobri from Malaysia and Sheik Farhan Sheik Alau’ddin from Singapore, Muhammad Robial Sobri which is from Red corner won this game 5:0. This is because player from Red corner is use more attacking and he try to topple down the opponent in many times while Blue corner more defend and attack but the attacking were not to accurate. The player from Red corner have good in fitness level and strength because when the Blue corner try to attack the Red corner but the player from Red corner not fall down which is more to miss opponent action.  The player from Red corner also has well in reaction time and agility.


CONCLUSION
In conclusion, we know that the player from Malaysian is the winner of the entire four matches. Player from Malaysia had a good reaction time and good in fitness performance. They can complete the techniques perfectly in used of attacking or defending such as kick, punch, sweep and topple. Although the result may vary due to total number of score given, this can be improved to the specific training especially in kicking and punch to improve the chance of scoring. Malaysia teams also had advantages in making the opponent erroneous with them because they always try to take more attention from the opponent when starting to attack. Every team is prefer to more attack than defend, this finding provide important information for coaches developing their defense’s mechanism and also their offense strategies. The loser cannot win this match because he often loses the opportunity to kick, punch, sweep or topple because he cannot apply the technique when he try attacking the opponent. In addition, based on the video, the winner used block, kick, and sweep technique to fight back as well as topple down the loser.


RECOMMENDATION
In my opinion, the team from Malaysia should be more focus when do the attacking on fight with opponent. The coach should recognize the ability and capability of the National silat player and accepted, they trained so in the future they are more athletes just like Al Jufferi Jamari although some the athlete cannot perform doesn’t mean they should give up because they need to rise up and fight for the country. is recommended that those developing conditioning elements of training programs for silat athletes are aware of the frequency and spread of durations of action and rest periods within action periods. As we know some of the athletes is lack in using the block and punch they always go for the sweep or topple, we must train longer to improve the technique and the most important thing is the strength of the athlete so they cannot easily sweep or topple. Furthermore, video analysis can be a guidance to identify the athlete’s mistake also the strengths of the athlete so in the future can improved more.
