KIBG 2025: Nagaland, Manipur Stand Out In Pencak Silat; Local Hero Bendre Grabs Another Gold
Khelo India Beach Games: Nagaland and Manipur picked up two gold medals each to catch the biggest haul of the day in the pencak silat competitions on the fourth day of the Khelo India Beach Games (KIBG) 2025 at the scenic Ghoghla beach in Diu on Thursday.
With eight gold medals up for grabs in the tanding (combat) category, the fights started on Thursday morning and by afternoon Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, Maharashtra, Delhi, and Jammu and Kashmir walked away with one gold each.
Tanding is the only category in pencak silat that is combative, meaning where states and UTs fight each other. The rest of the categories are artistic where players rely on their movements, posture, grace, etc. to woo the judges. So, since tanding is combative, it can get bloody at times as it did in the first final of the day which was the under 45kg male category.
