Humans were created with diverse talents and artistic abilities. Especially in Indonesia, there are many types of traditional arts that are owned and must be preserved. Started off from the city of Jogjakarta and spreading to all regions in Indonesia, Mersudi Patitising Tindak Pusakane Titising Hening (Merpati Putih) stands to develop traditional martial arts.
