Inti Ombak is a style of pencak silat which blends martial arts descended from the Mataram Kingdom of Central Java with those hailing from the island of Madura.^[1] In English it is often abbreviated to IOPS, short for "Inti Ombak Pencak Silat". The Inti Ombak Pencak Silat Union (Persatuan Pencak Silat Inti Ombak) is guided by three caretakers in accordance with the Javanese adage "In the front as a leader, in the middle as a moderator, in the back as an advocate".^[2] The current caretakers are Ki Poleng Sudamala of Yogyakarta, Daniel Prasetya of Colorado, and Tjahjadi Tanudjaya of Tengerang.^[3][4] The school's international headquarters are located in Yogyakarta, Indonesia while the US headquarters are in Ault, Colorado.

The name Inti Ombak is Indonesian for "inner wave" and refers to the dual rising and cresting nature of a wave. Interpretations of this include the pairing of mind and body, the duality of internal and external power, or the low motion of Madura coupled with the high movements of Mataram.
