This style of Pencak Silat was founded by the last Maha Guru "AJI" (GADJAH PUTIH or White Elephant) of Garut in West Java in the early 1950's. Presently this style is under the supervision of Guru Besar Bapak A. Wajihaddin. The elements of the style consist of 25 jurus (movements/forms), 10 pernafasan (breathing forms), 9 langkah (extended forms), and a wide variety of two-person training drills.
The distintive langkah (in this case, footwork) play an important role in coordinating the technical purpose and penetration of the jurus. Breaking, twisting, a variety of elbow and take-down techniques with the aid of body weight combined with agile movements mark this style distinctively from other silat styles. The body conditioning usually is done through breathing exercises which build the inner strength (rasa) and sharpen the five senses.
Initial training in Jati Wisesa is built upon the core set of jurus (forms). Each is learned in strict form, performed as a free form dance kembangan (flower) and applied as a practical technique buah (fruit).
