PGB

Una piattaforma di social network per le comunità e intorno alle comunità

In 1952, Persatuan Gerak Badan, or PGB, was founded by Suhu Subur Rahardja in Bogor, West Java. Since that time, the organization’s main activities have focused on managing Silat classes as well as supporting various socially-oriented initiatives aimed at improving the welfare of the surrounding community.

A white crane was chosen as the symbol for the Silat school, as the crane embodied several desirable characteristics, such as its adaptability to different circumstances, and an ability to fly, but not so high as to become too distant from the world. A crane cannot be tied down, yet possesses a harmonious life cycle. Cranes also gather together but do so peacefully. Finally, the crane’s most eminent characteristic is its deep internal calm.
