of ourselves that our ancestors had left us a great tradition from
generation to generation according to Top Holy Secret story of "
Paiketan Paguron Suling Dewata " ( Paiketan means Association
, Paguron means a place to study of Martial Arts of fighting , Suling means Flute, and Dewata
means Gods ) , the great tradition this has ever made Bali , our
beautiful island as the central of world's spiritual long long time
ago. Eventhough one of the great traditions was the original of traditional of Balinese
" Silat" ( martial arts of Balinese fightings ) from " Pertapaan
Candra Parwata" ( Pertapaan means Holy place for meditation
for priest or monks , Candra means Moon, and Parwata means Mount ) , Pertapaan Candra Parwata was located on Batukaru Mount in west of Bali , the

or in Indonesia but also was very famous to overseas such as Langka Pura
