Years ago, I wrote that MMA is traditional martial arts distilled for a specific purpose. I still believe it to be true — and today I came across a mind-blowing example of why that is.
The first picture is an engraving in the Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia. Over 1,000-years-old, it depicts a rear naked choke and body triangle.
Even the defense in the engraving is in line with contemporary wisdom: The man defending the choke is pulling down in the crosswise arm, and pushing up on the arm behind his head.
It’s another reminder that the evolution of martial arts is a process of rediscovery. As long as we have two arms and two legs, there are only so many ways we can move.

Pencak silat is an umbrella term for a class of related Indonesian martial arts. In neighbouring countries, the term usually refers to professional competitive silat.It is a full-body fighting form incorporating strikes, grappling and throwing in addition to weaponry. Every part of the body is used and subject to attack. Pencak silat was practiced not only for physical defense but also for psychological ends.

I wonder if @sleepyconfusedpotato has seen The Raid Redemption or its sequel, 'cause I imagine Jade would absolutely know Silat if she uses karambits in CQC.

Where do you think the word SILAT (from pencak silat) originated from?
Thank you for asking!
According to Wikipedia (the only source I could find), it has an unknown etymology but there are several theories as to its origin.
Here are the links to the pages I found that explained the various theories:

I hope this answers your question somewhat, and I'm sorry I couldn't be more useful
