This research bracgrounded from the lack of reference for analyzing the performance of pencak silat athletes in the artistic category, include team category. This study aims to develop a form to monitor the performance mastery and development of synchronised movements in pencak silat athletes in the artistic team category. By using the forms, coaches can monitor movement errors in athletes, evaluate them, and make improvements so that athletes can make progress in each training session to achieve top performance. Methods: This study employs a descriptive qualitative research method, analyzing the data of 3 (three) pencak silat team category who have participated in three championships from July to December 2024, resulting in nine documentation sets. The documentation then used as a starting point to develop[ a permormance monitoring tables contained 12 points in team category movements. Results: the results of this study is a form to assess the progress of synchronicity and accuracy of time, rhythm, and refinement of movements in the team category. upon careful development, the forms could be used as a tools helping the coaches in monitoring progression in pencak silat team category. Conclusions: , the forms could be used as a tools helping the coaches in monitoring progression in pencak silat team category.

Background Indonesian traditional martial art that has become an integral component of the nation's cultural heritage is Pencak Silat, which deemed as one of the Indonesian ancestors' legacies that must be perpetually safeguarded (Maryono, 1994). Pencak Silat is a product of Indonesian culture that is designed to preserve, protect, and uphold its independence and integrity within the natural environment in order to achieve harmony in life (Maryono, 1994). Recently in modern society, Pencak Silat is a multidimensional practice that incorporates four distinct dimensions, each of which has a rich and diverse nature and application: 1) It is a sport that improves health and vigor; 2) It is a self-defense discipline that safeguards humans from harm; 3) It is also a mental-spiritual method of training that fortifies character; and 4) It is an art form that involves movements that can be accompanied by music (Rahayuni, 2025; Rahayuni, 2014). Every one of these dimensions provides its practitioners with distinctive advantages and experiences. From being only a traditional martial art to becoming an officially competitive sport, pencak silat has experienced tremendous growth over time. Pencak silat now more methodically regulated with the creation of match rules and scoring system, a significant shift took place.

In Pencak Silat competitions, there are four primary categories stated in regulation book: creative solo, individual, pairs, and team. However, most of pencak silat practitioners and scholars divided in to 2 (two) categories: Match (tanding) and Artistic (Seni/Jurus) (IPSI, 2023). Match and Artistic are the two primary categories that are the subject of contention in competitive pencak silat. Match category (tanding) when two pencak silat athlete practitioners from distinct backgrounds engage in a fight, employing a variety of techniques and moves to employ principles of defense and attack, including parrying, evading, hitting, and attacking the target, as well as knocking down the opponent, with the aim to get the highest score. The Artistic (Seni/Jurus) category in pencak silat is when two pencak silat athlete exhibit a blend of speed, energy, and strength, while simultaneously preserving elements of grace, rhythm, and balance in a series of pencak silat movements (Jurus). The Jurus category, also referred to as the Art category, emphasizes the aesthetic and precise execution of pencak silat techniques and movements, demonstrating an appreciation for aesthetics and stamina (IPSI, 2023). This is demonstrated individually, in pairs, or as a team. The team category is a category in pencak silat that is competed in by teams of three people from the same team (IPSI, 2023). The pencak silat practitioners demonstrate standard moves as specified in the pencak silat rules regarding standard team moves. The movements are performed correctly, steadily, with full spirit, and in unison . According to Khotimah et al. (2022), the team category in pencak silat involves empty-hand techniques or techniques without weapons, based on the IPSI regulations (Khotimah et al., 2022). This means that the team category in pencak silat consists of a team performing standardized movements as stipulated in the IPSI regulations for 2024. The evaluation of this category consists of several aspects, including movement memorization, where each team member must memorize and perform the movements in the correct order; spirit, meaning each team must demonstrate high enthusiasm and energy; stamina, where each team must have good physical endurance as physical endurance is one of the evaluation aspects (Khotimah et al., 2022; Nugroho, 2020); and stability, where each team must demonstrate harmony and stability in every movement performed (Rosad, 2015). The Team jurus or Jurus Beregu, are series of pencak silat movements comprising 12 series of movements (jurus), with the overall number of micro mkovements consisted of 100 movements. And must performed within a duration of 3 minutes (Indratno & Rahayuni, 2009; IPSI, 2023; Khotimah et al., 2022; Nugroho, 2020). Progression of performance in pencak silat artistic category means a perfect and correct mastery of basic techniques, including striking skills, straight (depan) kicking skills, side (...truncated)
