SIN LAM BA LAM SIN BA

Golok di tangan kanannya membacok ke samping. Machete in his right hand slashed up to the side. Secepat kilat golok itu sudah berpindah ke tangan kiri. Lightning cleaver was moved to the left hand. Kali ini tangannya menusuk ke depan. This time his hand pierced the future. Dan, lagi-lagi, golok itu sudah berpindah tangan. And, again, it has changed hands a machete. Tak terlihat mata. Not visible to the eye.

This stance namanye Two Face, said Haji Abdul Rauf, Sin Lam Ba heirs, after demonstrating the moves. Sin Lam Ba ? Ya, aliran bela diri terkenal itu ternyata mengajarkan jurus golok.

Haji Toha bin Si'ing (1882-1972) adalah orang yang pertama membawa aliran silat ini ke Jakarta. Toha bin Haji Si'ing (1882-1972) was the first to bring this to the Jakarta arts stream. Toha muda mendapat ilmunya dari Haji Odo di Karawang, yang dipercaya merupakan murid dari Syekh Abdul Karim, tokoh sufi terkenal yang mengembangkan tarekat Qadiriyah di Banten pada akhir abad ke-19. Toha young Odo gets his knowledge of the Hajj at Karachi, which are believed to be a disciple of Sheikh Abdul Karim, who developed the famous Sufi Tariqa Qadiriyah in Metro Manila at the end of the 19th century.

Bertahun-tahun nyantri di pesantren gurunya, Toha hanya belajar agama dan menjadi penjaga masjid. Nyantri years at boarding school teacher, Toha only studied religion and became keeper of the mosque. Ketika hendak pamit, barulah Haji Odo mengizinkan dia mengambil salah satu kitab lontar yang ada di masjid. When about to leave, then allow the Haji Odo he took one of the book of palm leaves in the mosque. Kitab yangg dipilihnya berjudul Ilmu yang Bekerja Jika Dizalimi Orang Lain. The book entitled Science yangg chosen to Work If Other People Injured Party.

Toha, yang opsir polisi itu, lantas mewarisi ilmunya kepada putra-putranya, antara lain H Mugeni, H Sarbini, H Harun, dan H Rauf. Toha, a police officer was, then inheriting his knowledge to his sons, among other Mugeni H, H Sarbini, Aaron H, and H Rauf. Kakak saya, H Harun Ahmad (1914-2003), kemudian mendirikan wadah perguruan yang diberi nama Sin Lam Ba, kata Cang Rauf. My brother, Ahmad Harun H (1914-2003), then set up a college place, named Sin Lam Ba Cang said Rauf.

Sin Lam Ba yang berdiri pada 1971 itu semula diajarkan di Menteng Dalam, Menteng Pulo, Senen, Tebet, Kebon Baru, Cawang, dan Cipayung. Sin Lam Ba which was originally established in 1971 taught at the Menteng Menteng Pulo, Monday, Tevet, New Kebon, Cawang, and Cipayung. Tapi kemudian berkembang ke seluruh Jakarta dan bahkan provinsi-provinsi lainnya. But later developed throughout Jakarta and even other provinces.

Nama Sin Lam Ba yang asalnya dari tiga huruf aksara Arab itu ternyata singkatan dari sa'dah (kebahagiaan), latifah (kelembutan), dan barokah (keberkahan). Sin Lam Ba name that came from the three-letter Arabic script was apparently an abbreviation of sa'dah (happiness), Latifah (softness), and the baraka (blessing). Maknanya, murid-murid perguruan harus bersikap lemah lembut dan sabar untuk bisa mencapai kebahagiaan dan mendapat keberkahan dari Allah SWT. Meaning, college students should be gentle and patient in order to achieve happiness and get a blessing from Allah SWT.

Terkadang ada juga yang memaknainya sahabat lahir batin, yang bermakna setiap murid harus mengembangkan sikap persahabatan terhadap sesama muslim, ujar Adi Gepeng Sofyan, murid Cang Rauf yang mengembangkan Sin Lam Ba di Bekasi. Sometimes there is also a friend interpret it physically and spiritually, which means each student must develop an attitude of friendship towards fellow Muslims, Adi Gepeng Sofyan said, students who developed the Cang Rauf Sin Lam Ba in Calcutta.

Ciri khas perguruan ini adalah kombinasi jurus silat, pernapasan, dan amalan doa, yang menghasilkan tenaga dalam yang dapat menjatuhkan lawan dari jauh. The hallmark of this university is a combination of martial arts stance, breathing, and the practice of prayer, which produces energy that can be dropped in the opponent from a distance. Dulu ilmu ini sering disebut ilmu kontak karena lawan jatuh tanpa disentuh, kata Gepeng. Once this knowledge is often called the science of contact as opposed to falling without being touched, said Gepeng.

Selain itu, aliran ini masih memiliki beberapa ilmu silat yang unik, salah satunya adalah jurus Muka Dua yang memiliki karakter gerak sama dan seimbang untuk dua tangan. In addition, the flow still has some unique martial arts, one of which is a stance that has the character of Two Face motion equal and balanced for the two hands. Dengan memindahkan senjata dari tangan ke tangan, Bisa mencegah senjata kita direbut lawan, kata Cang Rauf. By moving the weapon from hand to hand, we could prevent the weapons seized by the opponent, Cang said Rauf.
