UNIPMA Holds a Virtual Pencak Silat Competition at its 46th Anniversary 

Friday, May 28, 2021. In the framework of the 46th Anniversary, PGRI Madiun University (UNIPMA) held a single category of IPSI Pencak Silat Competition (Boys and Girls Senior High School equivalent) virtually. With the theme "The Glory Of Pencak Silat Championship 2021" registration for the official race will be open from 24 May to 13 June 2021.
The Covid-19 pandemic has forced many sports to adjust to new orders and habits. So that requires that the pencak silat competition in the context of UNIPMA's 46th Anniversary is still held in virtual titles.
According to Dicky, virtual competitions are a solution so that coaching continues without sacrificing the health aspect. "This competition is held so that the members of pencak silat continue to be active in practicing. Regular exercise can keep the body healthy and improve immunity, ”said Dicky, Friday (28/5/2021).
The judging will be held online via zoom on Saturday, June 19, 2021. "Since the competition is held online, the judging will be done via zoom," he said.
He hopes that the championship can maintain the existence of Tapak Suci in the community. He also hopes that the winners can make Pencak Silat proud at the national and international levels so that they can preserve pencak silat as the cultural heritage of the Indonesian nation.
