Abstract

This study aimed to validate the efficacy of a tactical game-based training program designed for novices in the single stance of Pencak Silat traditional martial arts. The study focuses on evaluating the impact of this program on enhancing participants' proficiency in the single stance, with a focus on technical and tactical skills. By incorporating the principles of tactical games theory into the training model, Pencak Silat coaches can enhance athletes' competence in executing single-stance techniques. The research and development methodology was implemented, encompassing four essential steps: a thorough literature review, expert evaluations, determination of content validity using Aiken's V coefficient, and testing interobserver reliability. Practicality and effectiveness assessments involved 85 novice martial arts athletes specializing in Pencak Silat, with observations of individual movements employing bare hands, machetes, and sticks as the units of measurement. SPSS 25 statistical software was utilized for data analysis. The analysis results confirm the training model's validity, reliability, and effectiveness in improving the technical and tactical aspects of single-stance skills. This program suits athletes across various skill levels, including those in lower and elite classes. This research offers a robust training program for enhancing single-stance skills by combining technical and collaborative gameplay exercises. © JPES.
