Technique Minangkabau

Technique Minangkabau originated in the Minangkabau region. According to Minang folklore a war broke out between the West Sumatrans and the Javanese. In order to decide the war a battle between each side's water buffaloes was conducted. The Javanese produces the most largest, vicious and angry buffalo. The West Sumatrans simply supplied a young calf with razors upon its young horns. The large buffalo not seeing the threat allowed the young calf close as it came to suckle milk. Upon it trying to suckle it sliced the large buffalo's stomach, making the young buffalo the victor.

The technique is much like the point of this story. Seemingly harmless yet brutal in its application.

Technique Minangkabau is very useful to be used in ground fighting.
