Desired Outcomes of Learning

We believe that silat is more than just a martial art—it is a holistic journey that shapes character, nurtures resilience, and deepens cultural identity. Our goal is to cultivate pesilats who not only excel in martial prowess but also embody strong values and life skills that prepare them for the future.

A pesilat trained at Sendeng Teratai is equipped with a strong sense of self-awareness, discipline, and respect for tradition. Just as Singapore's education system develops its students holistically, our training programs are designed to instill key values in our students.

Our pesilats strive to be:

• Purposeful individuals who embrace the zest of life, uphold moral integrity, are adaptable in all situations, and communicate effectively both in the arena and in everyday life.

• Self-directed learners who take responsibility for their own growth, display curiosity, and persist in their lifelong journey of learning silat and other pursuits, driven by passion and purpose.

• Self-disciplined individuals who work collaboratively, practice empathy, and take initiative. Our pesilats are not just athletes—they embody discipline and resilience, always striving for excellence.

• Thoughtful stewards who are rooted in their cultural heritage, possess a strong sense of community, and are committed to making meaningful contributions to society. Our pesilats uphold the values of respect, discipline, and responsibility, improving not just their own lives, but those of others.

At Sendeng Teratai, our vision goes beyond training pesilats —we shape leaders, community builders, and responsible citizens who will carry forward the rich heritage of silat for generations to come.
