Silat Sabeni Tenabang (Sabeni Silat of Tenabang), often shortened as Sabeni silat, is one of the Betawinese pencak silat (Betawi: maen pukulan) styles.[1][2][3] The style was created by its eponymous founder Sabeni bin Canam around the end of the 19th century, when Indonesia was still in the Dutch colonial period.[2] It was originally developed in the Tanah Abang district, now part of Central Jakarta, Indonesia.[2][3]
In 2019, the Sabeni silat was recognized as an intangible cultural heritage of Jakarta, with Registration No.: 201900925.[3]
