Abah Andadinata(deceased) the Founder Margaluyu Pusat
S. Andadinata is decent of Sumedang noble, He was born in Rancabayak village, under Majalaya
District about 30 KM South East Bandung city West Java. Since young he course around west Java
to pursue his lives to be a silat practitioner and enrich more pencak silat styles variants.
At the first, actually he was mastering silat “Peksi Muih” (bird flying style) a legacy silat
from the ancestor.
While in Pesantren (Islamic school) mama Shiek Abdul Kahpi in Petaruman Tarogong Garut, Andadinata
study the Ilmu Hikmah (Moslem esoteric) Tharekat Haqmaliah. After completing study, He is making
experiment by combining merit of tharekat haqmaliah and silat peksi muih form, eventually created
Jurus Payung Rasul. Form of jurus payung rasul, no like ordinary pencak silat. Most all movement
is followed with specific breathing technique to build tenaga dalam (inner power energy).
At that time breathing technique was not usual for self defense practice. So to have more
confidence, then Andadinata begun to introduce this technique by performing jurus payung rasul
in any party or exhibitions affair.
Since jurus payung rasul seen strange for the silat ptactitioners, it was questionably and
inviting vexed among them. Therefore Andadinata often invited for sambung rasa (friendly fight)
by silat practitioners . In any sambung rasa, Andadinata always able to defeat the contenders
in short time. So eventually Andadinata was known as Juara Kaul (unofficial champion).
The other silat variants and ilmu hikmah was decent from an Islamic theological mama ajengan Asep
Samsudin at Kasepuhan Cirebon. Before Andadinata adopted as student. He always present in any
majlis ta’lim (reading holy Qur’an general assembly) which is lead by mama Asep Samsudin.
Andadinata as on foot eggs retailer always search for crowding area to sale out the goods.
Particular in majils ta’lim, he left the goods and let them unattended. Contrary when the
majlis ta’lim is over, all goods were selling out completely.
This phenomenon was an interesting
view for mama Asep Samsudin. So from his esoteric view, Mama Asep Samsudin know that is Andadinata
is not an ordinary people and having specific talent. Therefore he eager to have Andadinata
become as student.
Event Pencak Silat had rapid development in west Jawa, but at time being pencak silat is still as
an exclusive self defense which is only teaches in limited circumstance like noble groups family
and Ulama (Islamic theological). Fortunately for Andadinata, he is a noble descendent and Islamic
theological. There is no difficulties for him to expand his expertise. With recommendation from
Mama Asep Samsudin, then Andadinata went to Cikalong to meet Juragan Rd Haji Ibrahim (Silat
Cikalong founder). From here Andadinata study Silat Cikalong. Including Sabandar style from ,
Rd Haji Abudllah.
Not so clear, Is Rd Hj Ibrahim had direct teaching Andadinata? Since on around years 1900 he was
too old for teaching, some resource said that is Raden Enoch who was guiding Andadinata to learn
Cikalong style. Raden Haji Abdullah is another Cikalong figure which is mastering both cikalong
and sabandar styles. The Sabandar silat style water down of Mohammad Kosim (wanderer from
Pagaruyung west Sumatra).
From Raden haji Abdullah, S. Andadinata has getting the silat sabandar style. Therefore the 10
sets of jurus Margaluyu Pusat is look influenced with the Cikalong and Sabandar styles.
While adventure on north coast Java, Andadinata was learn silat Bugis, Madura and several Chinese
styles. Both silat Madura and Bugis were dominant there, since descendent of Dipati Anom
(Amangkurat Admiral) troops were applying protection from Sultan Cirebon and legally stay on
north coast Java, in avoid chased by Mataram troops under King Amangkurat I.
Compilation form Madi, Kari, Khaer and Sabandar (Cikalong style) then eventually as become
most of the 10 sets of mandatory form of Gerak Badan Pencak Margaluyu Pusat.
Since the breathing technique martial arts form (BTMA) consist of simple movement, it is
impossible to show as silat on stage. Therefore Andadinata divide training system of Margaluyu
into two sections. The First part is Silat / Maenpo and the 2nd parts is breathing technique.
Both silat/ maenpo and breathing technique can be learned together in the same session.
For better understanding, that is Gerak Badan Pencak Margaluyu Pusat consist of an ancient
Ilmu Hikmah Sunda wiwitan, Moslem ilmu hikmah, Silat/Maenpo and Breathing technique.
Andadinata begun teaching Margaluyu Pusat since 35 years old, while the profession as on foot
eggs retailer is never left. Mang Suwandi, Mang Andi Rohandi, Mang Uwen, Mang Ulis, Mang idit
Junaidi is the first generation group who are learn Margaluyu Pusat.
Since there Andadinata eventually stay in Cikuya Cicalengka up to decease on 29 January 1969.
