This program is an ideal path for individuals aiming to establish a Silat sports program in their studio, dojo, or as a dynamic after-school activity. Our curriculum comprehensively covers the key elements of sport Silat, providing you with the necessary tools and insights to excel in the competitive world of Silat. Although open to everyone, a background in martial arts is advantageous to fully benefit from the program.

Each seminar weekend within our Pencak Silat Coaching Certificate Program is an opportunity to achieve a certificate in one of the four distinct coaching levels. This progressive and structured approach ensures focused learning, enabling you to advance through Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4. Each level offers deeper insights into the art and science of Silat coaching, making it ideal for those keen on initiating or enhancing a Silat sports program. The curriculum spans foundational techniques to advanced coaching methods, catering to a diverse range of coaching needs.

Participants receive a comprehensive package including a uniform, an orange sash, and essential training tools such as a golok and toya. The first day of the seminar is dedicated to Tanding, focusing on sparring techniques and strategies, including conducting effective training sessions, focusing on key techniques for optimal results, and understanding the scoring system for class application. The second day delves into Seni, with a special focus on the artistic form of Jurus Tunggal. A unique feature of the program is the opportunity for participants to observe a live student class on Sundays, depending on the class schedule, offering real-world teaching experience.

For those traveling to join us, the Hyatt House in Herndon, Virginia, provides convenient accommodation just across the street from our facility and is easily accessible via the Herndon Metro station, which directly connects to Washington Dulles International Airport.

A crucial component of each level’s certification is an online quiz, covering the information and techniques imparted during the coaching seminar. This quiz ensures that all coaches are well-versed in both the practical and theoretical aspects of Silat. Passing this quiz is crucial for attaining certification at each coaching level, marking a significant achievement in your path to becoming a skilled and certified Pencak Silat coach.
