TEPAK CIWARINGINAN PADA SENI PENCAK SILAT DI KOTA BANDUNG

Abstract

Pencak silat is a martial art of Indonesia's cultural identity that 
 has been designated by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural 
 Heritage. Pencak silat in West Java is not only categorized as a 
 martial sport, but also as one of the arts. Pencak silat in the context 
 of performing arts is often called Kendang Penca (from the 
 perspective of musical aesthetics) and Ibing Penca (from the 
 perspective of dance aesthetics). The focus of this article is to 
 describe the variety of tepak ciwaringinan patterns in the pencak 
 silat family in Bandung. The consideration is that these songs and 
 tepak no longer appear in every kendang penca performance, it can 
 be said that their existence is starting to become extinct. In this 
 article, the author uses a qualitative approach from Jhon W. 
 Creswell by collecting data through observation, documentation, 
 and interviews. After the data is obtained, the author then analyzes 
 the data to test the truth of the data.
 This article discusses an overview of pencak silat as a performing 
 art, the musical accompaniment of pencak silat in Bandung, and a 
 description of the Ciwaringinan tepak pattern in pencak silat. The 
 article concludes that pencak silat is one of the most important 
 aspects of the performing arts in Indonesia, especially in West Java. 
 Aesthetically, pencak silat generally consists of the aesthetics of the 
 Pencak Silat dance form (ibing penca), music aesthetics 
 (karawitan), and traditional fashion aesthetics. In addition, the 
 findings in this study are that there are a variety of Ciwaringinan 
 tepak patterns that have not been recognized by the public.
