The Korea Pencak Silat Federation (KPSF) is the official body responsible for the promotion and development of Pencak Silat in South Korea. Established in 2014, the federation has steadily built a structured and growing Silat community in the country.
Since its inception, KPSF has trained over 3,000 practitioners, with a current active base of approximately 200 athletes. The federation consists of 5 member organizations (perguruans) and is supported by 20 coaches, ensuring a strong foundation for athlete development.
KPSF has also developed significant technical expertise, with 6 internationally recognized referees (7 male officials) and a growing number of certified coaches, including both male and female instructors.
