Aim. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the children’s combat sports known as silat Tempur, since it was introduced in 2013. This combative sport focused on children, particularly beginners aged 7 to 13. The main purpose of this sport is to improve combative techniques among young silat exponents in competition. The silat tempur arena is similar to a fencing platform which aims to relax the exponents when performing silat techniques in competition. The most frequent techniques used in this sport are punches, kicks, catches, blocks and topple down. Nine national silat tempur competition had been organized and each silat exponents will gain points from each match they compete in. The overall winner with the highest points is announced once the series has concluded. silat coaches play an important role in educating their athletes in term of both training and in competition rules and regulation.

Almayer’s Folly (1896) by Joseph Conrad challenged the conventions of the fictional romance while confronting the need of native-born Malayans and other Asian individuals to find voice and identity in an imperial context. Along with the narrative voice in this text are the many other voices of those who have been colonized. Fidelity to one’s identity and openness to relationships across cultures lies at the crux of this study. Conrad’s critics of the 1950s and 1960s dismissed his first novel as a romance with a weak subplot. However, that subplot, about Almayer’s daughter Nina and her love affair, sets forth moral claims of loyalty and fidelity that must be taken into account. For her relation- ship with a Malay prince expresses a love that is binding and enduring, one that crosses boundaries and divisions and is an apt model for our culturally convergent world. Conrad creates a dialectic of intercultural subjectivities to make a point about identity, loyalty, and self-fashioning. Whereas Almayer is portrayed as foolish and inflexible, his daughter, Nina, faces significant issues of identity, as she has to choose between the traditional, indigenous heritage of her mother and her father’s modern European aspirations. With Almayer’s Folly, Joseph Conrad showed himself to be an international novelist who could develop a story with an inter-racial and intercultural cast of characters.
