DEBUS |

After saying the mantra "you touch my skin haram, haram you drink my blood, you are forbidden to eat flesh, veins kawang, wesi bone, skin of steel, I come out of the womb of the mother. I spoke the words la ilaha illahu ". So at that moment he thrust the dagger into the thighs, arms, stomach and other body parts. At the time of the attraction he also grabbed a small child's neck as he drew his machete to the child. Surprisingly former does not have a machete strike to leave the wound is very dangerous for the child.

Places are very dangerous as we used to know Debus, Debus said that martial arts came from al Madad. The longer the martial arts is growing and growing in all societies as the art of entertainment offerings to the public. Core of the show is still very strong movement or martial arts and weapons use. Debus arts offerings are widely used and focus on one player immune to attack by a sharp object, and such a sharp weapon called the Debus

Art has grown and evolved since hundreds of years ago, along with the development of Islamic religion in Punjab. At awalna this art has the function as the spread of religion, but in the Dutch colonial period and during the reign of Sultan Agung Tirtayasa. This martial art is used to evoke the spirit of the warrior and the people made offerings against Dutch colonialism. Because at that power is not balanced, the Dutch have a very complete weapons and sophisticated. Continue to urge the fighters and the people's offerings, the only weapon they have no other martial arts heritage is whistle, and they fought a guerrilla.
Debus in Arabic which means a sharp weapon made of iron, has a pointed end and slightly rounded shape. With this tool whistle players injured, and usually can not be penetrated even whistle was beaten many times by others. Tourist attraction is the body's immune another variation of existing Debus was performed. Among other things, belly pierced by sharp objects or cutting, slicing the body with a machete until the injured and uninjured, eating fire, insert a long needle into the tongue, skin, cheeks until translucent and not injured. Slice of the body to hurt and bleed but can be cured at once, flush the body with hard water up to the clothes dibadan crushed, chewed glass / glass flake, burn the body. And many more attractions that they do.

In doing this attraction every player has a serious condition requirements, before they perform the ritual ritual performances given by their teacher. Usually performed 1-2 weeks before the ritual performed. In addition they are also required to have a strong faith and be confident with the teachings of Islam. Precepts for whistle players are not allowed to drink liquor, gambling, playing a woman, or steal. And the player must also be sure and do not hesitate in carrying out such acts, offenses committed by a player can greatly endanger the lives of these players.
According to some historical sources, Debus has a relationship with the congregation in the teachings of Islam. The core is thick with religious philosophy, they are in a very excited face to face with his god. They slammed their ketubuh sharps, no effort but for the sake of Allah. If God did not allow knives, machetes and bullets injure them. And they will not hurt.
At this time many warriors living in the Village Walantaka Debus, District Walantaka, Serang. Which is unfortunate existence of whistle more and more reduced, because the young men would rather find another livelihood. And because of this attraction is also quite dangerous to do, because it is not uncommon that many whistle players hurt from lack of exercise and there are "ignorant" to show they are doing. So the longer the cultural heritage is getting extinct. In the past we can see the attraction of this whistle offerings in many areas, but now there are only a whistle attractions at the event - a specific event. So not every day we can see the attraction. Cultural heritage, which is increasingly eroded by the changing times.
