Greetings Ramil,
I am no expert on the many styles of Pentjak Silat. My own exposure to the silat was most informal, brutal and unauthorized.
Also brief. My study is mostly academic and you have at your fingertips the very same resource that I often use. (the Internet)
I can only tell you what I have read about sapik kalo silat. The words mean scorpion pincher,from the Minangkabau dialect, it is a relatively new style that draws from many versions of the pentjak silat.
It strives to remain in harmony with the Muslim faith and for this reason many of the brutal (assassination) techniques are left out. It is a fairly sporterized version for use in competitions and also for the benefits of health and fitness.
I hope you will continue to seek the answers to your questions.
Respectfully,
~R.
