This is Origin Pointy Bamboo that Ever Made Invaders Experiencing Nightmares

During the colonial period, it could be said that the strength of the Indonesian fighters was inferior to the Dutch or the Japanese. But strangely, the fighters were never afraid of regaining independence again with improvised weapons. One of the most powerful weapons is bamboo spears. Yes, the original weapons of Indonesia that made the invaders nervous.

We have known the name bamboo spiky for a long time, but do you know where that weapon came from? It turns out that if pursued backwards, there is a long history of this one weapon. Starting from being made by a kiai to become a magic weapon. So as not to be curious, consider the following review.

The origins of bamboo spears

There is still confusion about how weapons originating from bamboo are made, but one of the most common versions is from one of the kiai in Indonesia. Yes, he was named Subchi, a Parakan cleric who was predicted to be one of the originators of this weapon.

Apparently at the time of colonialism, many students and fighters wanted to join together against the invaders. Previously they had been sowan at this Subchi kiau, and there they were introduced to pointy bamboo weapons. After being taught prayer by kiai Subchi, the students and fighters were ready to go down to the battlefield to cut down the invaders.

There are so many nicknames from him, ranging from sharpened bamboo kiai to the movers. Yes it was all pinned because thanks to his services also the students and fighters fought together against the invaders. In addition, he is also known as a pious person. Being the son of one of the famous scholars, kiai Wahab, kiai Subchi is always educated with strong religious knowledge.

During the attack on Parakan, all the fighters gathered at him to ask for prayer. Also on his command, many paramilitary forces were formed to assist the TKR in seizing independence in Indonesia. He is also a teacher for Indonesia's great hero, general Sudirman.

The greatness of pointed bamboo is famous all the time

After the students were told to make pointy bamboo weapons on the orders of the kiai Subchi, apparently the weapons' fief spread everywhere. Yes, thanks to this weapon too, many battles were won by Indonesian fighters. The fighters and students in other areas also use spiky bamboo as their main weapon.

That said, this spiky bamboo has its own magic powers and makes the warriors at that time always win in war. Investigate a key to the magic power of bamboo is derived from the prayers of the kiai Subchi written on it. After the bamboos were prayed for, strong morale and morale emerged for the fighters to defeat the invaders.

Invaders are most reluctant when dealing with spiky bamboo

You could say rather than facing the troops complete with firearms, the invaders were more afraid of the sharp bamboo soldiers. Why? The reason is trivial, many do not want to die in a tortured state. As is well known, it would be better for the invaders to be shot with bullets despite being hit by vital organs. Yes, even if injured can be easily treated whereas if fatal can immediately die. Whereas if using spiky bamboo will surely cause miserable death. Ranging from infections to wounds that may not heal.

In addition, bamboo spears are considered killers in silence. Yes, if we use firearms we know where the attack is based on the sound of the senpi, whereas if we use bamboo spears, the story is different. It turns out that this traditional weapon really makes the invaders nervous.

We must be proud of the greatness of the Indonesian fighters, with just a pointed bamboo weapon can make the invaders turn behind cats. Now it is our duty to continue their struggle. Maybe bamboo spears are gone, but the spirit to advance and defend the country is certainly still in us.
