Persaudaraan Setia Hati Terate (lit. "Brotherhood of the Obedient Heart — Lotus", abbreviated as PSHT or SH Terate) is a sports and pencak silat organization (perguruan silat) from East Java, Indonesia, created by Ki Hadjar Hardjo Oetomo in 1922 and was later agreed to be renamed to Persaudaraan Setia Hati Terate at its first congress in Madiun in 1948.[1]
PSHT is one of the martial arts organizations that founded Ikatan Pencak Silat Indonesia (IPSI) on 18 May 1948.[2] Currently PSHT has around 7 million members, has branches in 236 regencies/cities in Indonesia, 10 overseas commissariats in Malaysia, Netherlands, Russia (Moscow), East Timor, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Belgium, and France.[2][3]
However, in recent years, many of PSHT members have involved in mobs, riots and other forms of violence, especially with members of other similar organizations, including its then-sister Persaudaraan Setia Hati Tunas Muda Winongo (PSHW).[4] Due to a mob attack against police officer Parmanto, its Jember branch was suspended by the local police on 26 July 2024.[5]
