The Rules of Engagement
Kaedah (pronouced kai-duh) is the outlook or the rules of engagement that govern movement and decision making when fighting. Every pencak silat style has a unique kaedah that prescribes what they consider optimal. For most styles this is tacit or hidden. In Inti Ombak Pencak Silat, these are spelled as simple rules so that you can constantly self-assess to know whether or not your interpretation is “kaedah safe”.
