Malayu Sibat
A historical note from the archive, originally written by Grand Tuhon Leo Gaje Jr.
A regional tradition
Sibat is a term for a spear. In his account of Malayu Sibat, Gaje describes traditions associated with the Moluccas in Indonesia and with southern Negros and Mindoro in the Philippines.
Its place in the archive
Gaje described Malayu Sibat in the context of Pekiti-Tirsia and its relationship to regional martial traditions. The school preserves the article as part of the lineage’s history.
