- Blunt weapons
- Cakera
Cakera (also spelled chakra, chakera or cakra) literally means wheel or disc. In silat, the word can refer either to energy centres along the body or a circular weapon made of steel. It was based on the chakram or war-quoit but, unlike its Indian counterpart, the cakera is torus-like rather than flat or sharp. The cakera is often paired and it can either be thrown or wielded as a blunt weapon in close combat.
The gedak is a steel mace, essentially consisting of a sphere connected to a handle. Originally from India, it is often associated with the monkey god Hanuman. It is possible to use two gedak at once but, because of their size and weight, this is best suited for larger and more muscular fighters.
- Toyak / Tembong
The words toyak, belantan or tembong refers to a cudgel, cane or short stick. Sticks are also commonly called kayu which means literally means wood, though it could be made of any material. The techniques used with the stick could also be applied to similar objects for the purpose of self-defense. Most notable among these is the seruling or flute played during silat demonstrations as well as other cultural performances.
