Ada kesulitan menentukan asal-usul

Ada kesulitan menentukan asal-usul pencak silat dan siapa yang menyebarkannya. Melacak sejarah pencak silat dari awal mula sampai masa kini tidak mudah karena bahan tertulis sangat terbatas dan informasi lisan yang diperoleh dari tokoh-tokoh pencak silat belum dapat menjawab secara tuntas semua teka-teki yang ada. Khususnya dalam menentukan asal-usul pencak silat, menjelaskan kapan dan dari mana pencak silat berasal, bagaimana perkembangan mula terjadi, dan siapa yang pertama menyebarkannya. Manusia sebagai makhluk hidup bermasyarakat mempunyai kebutuhan naluriah untuk menjamin keamanan dan kesejahteraan diri ataupun masyarakatnya. Sejalan dengan perkembangan budaya manusia terdapat anggota masyarakat yang secara khusus memikirkan cara-cara terbaik sebagai suatu keterampilan dalam menjamin keamanan dan kesejahteraan. Keterampilan itu kemudian dipraktikkan sebagai eksperimen yang secara terus menerus diperbaiki dan disempurnakan. Pemikiran dan penciptaan keterampilan ini dilakukan antara lain dengan mentransformasikan perilaku dan gerak-gerik binatang yang tangkas dan trengginas, seperti harimau, kera, ular, burung, dan hewan lainnya, di dalam membela diri atau menyerang lawannya (Saleh, 1992).
