When we are in our home of city, we should remember the things of the place we have grown and the environment we have interacted with. That’s the incredible point of how preserve the great thing about our culture. Without that, we will easily forget our beautiful traditional custom and art.

Learning is not enough without great understanding about our locale. Learning is not perfect without special art of our locale. Learning is not enough without deep feeling to our culture. All things grow us with the richness of tone, pattern, feeling, and sense of one. The valuable art and manner should be brought in every step we take.

Silat is the traditional art of West Java. When we come to Bekasi, there are thousand things represent West Java. Silat contains the spiritual side in every movement and tone. It also contains the healthy side of practice like sport. When all members of Islamic Street Children Community practice Silat, they learn how to maintain the relationship between spiritual and physical things in the same time. The way of maintaining is through incredible movement and every step in that art.

Now, children in KABASA learn not only the majority lessons what other people do, but also the incredible traditional art that most people of Bekasi almost forget it.  This is art; art of life, art of happiness in our beloved city, Bekasi.
