Silat Sabeni Tenabang (Sabeni Silat of Tenabang), often shortened as Sabeni silat, is one of the Betawinese pencak silat ( Betawi: maen pukulan) styles. [1] [2] [3] The style was created by its eponymous founder Sabeni bin Canam around the end of the 19th century, when Indonesia was still in the Dutch colonial period. [2] It was originally developed in the Tanah Abang district, now part of Central Jakarta, Indonesia. [2] [3]
In 2019, the Sabeni silat was recognized as an intangible cultural heritage of Jakarta, with Registration No.: 201900925. [3]
Sabeni bin Canam was born in 1860 in Kebon Pala hamlet of Tanah Abang. [2] He learned silat from Hajji Syuhud and Hajji Ma'il, the Betawinese martial artists who lived in the vicinity of Tanah Abang. [2] He then combined the skills he learned from his two masters, and with their permissions created the Sabeni silat style. [2]
During the Dutch colonial period, Sabeni worked as a public security head (Betawi: serean) at the subdistrict level ( Dutch: Onderdistrict). [2] The Sabeni silat school history recorded that Sabeni started to become recognized when he won in a friendly match against a well-known silat champion from Kemayoran district. [2] He then won against several Kuntau masters sent by Dutch landlords to fight him in public fights at Prinsen Park (now Lokasari Park, Mangga Besar); and during the Japanese occupation period, he continued to win against Japanese martial artists in matches organized by the Japanese military administration ( Japanese: Gunseikanbu). [2] Sabeni's disciples took part in the physical resistance during the Indonesian struggle for independence. [1]
Sabeni died on August 15, 1945, and his silat style was continued by his descendants and disciples. [2] [3] In 2016, there were at least 6 silat schools or silat communities that taught Sabeni silat style in the Tanah Abang district. [2]
Some characteristics of the Sabeni silat are close proximity fighting positions, fast and flexible hand movements, and foot strokes aimed at slamming the opponent. [3] The silat moves tend to prioritize attacking and waiting for opportunities to open up the opponent's weaknesses. [3]
The following are the names of the main forms in Sabeni silat (Cing Mus lineage), as follows: [3]
Each of the forms has many subforms (kembangan) that can be practised up to hundreds. Some of them are: [2]

Along with the development of the Sabeni silat, there are slight differences in the naming, sequence, movement, and application of the forms in various schools that teach this style. [2] [4]
