Silat Beksi is a traditional Maen Pukulan martial art that originated in the Betawi community, developed through a combination of local self-defense techniques and Chinese cultural influences. It functions not only as a means of physical defense but also as a medium for preserving religious, cultural, social, and philosophical values. This study aims to examine the historical emergence, dissemination, and transformation of Silat Beksi as an intangible cultural heritage. The research employed a qualitative ethnographic approach with data collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review. The results show that Silat Beksi has evolved from a martial tradition into a form of cultural performance widely practiced in Betawi society. The preservation of Silat Beksi continues through intergenerational transmission, organizational structures, and formal recognition by the state as part of Indonesia’s national cultural heritage.
