Abstract
Pencak Silat basic technique mastery, either in art or fighting criteria, must be supported by ultimate physical condition. Straight-forward kick is one of the attacking modes that would be effective if supported by good leg muscle power. The objective of the study was to describe the plyometric training effectiveness on the straight-forward kick frequency. It was quasi-experiment research in which the samples were 30 junior male athletes of Pencak Silat. The 10-second straight-forward kick speed test was utilized as the instrument to determine the kick frequency. The researchers utilized paired t-test samples and One Way Anova with a significant score of p<0.05 to analyze the data. The research finding showed a significant effect from two plyometric training to the straight-forward kicks. No significant difference was found between the plyometric stair jump training and the box jump reaction. Further research is expected to describe the same training for both sexes at the adolescence level, so a comprehensive result could be used as guidance to train junior Pencak Silat athletes.
