ABSTRAKSI: “Keberadaan Penca di Antara Orang Sunda”. “Maenpo merupakan salah satu pilar budaya sehingga menjadi salah satu unsur pembentuk karakter masyarakat di Cianjur, Jawa Barat, selain ngaos dan mamaos. Maenpo merupakan salah satu aliran seni bela diri tradisional yang lebih mengutamakan rasa, bukan kekerasan fisik. Rasa di sini berarti mempermainkan lawan dengan kekuatan jurus-jurusnya, sehingga lawan menjadi frustasi. Dalam artikel ini akan dijelaskan bagaimana proses perkembangan maenpo sejak masa penjajahan Belanda hingga masa Republik Indonesia. Untuk memperoleh jawaban atas pertanyaan, dalam artikel ini digunakan metode sejarah yang terdiri dari empat tahapan, yaitu: heuristik, kritik, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Hasil kajian ini menujukan bahwa pada awal perkembangannya, maenpo tumbuh di lingkungan terbatas, yakni kalangan menak dan pesantren. Para menak Cianjur menguasai maenpo bukan untuk menjadi jawara, melainkan sebagai salah satu cara mengasah kemampuan rasa dalam memahami hubungan mereka dengan Tuhan dan lingkungan sosialnya. Juga di lingkungan pesantren, maenpo berkembang sebagai sarana pelatihan pengendalian hawa nafsu. Meskipun demikian, perkembangan maenpo relatif lebih cepat di lingkungan pesantren dibandingkan dengan di kalangan menak Sunda di Jawa Barat, Indonesia.

KATA KUNCI: Maenpo; Kabupaten Cianjur; Menak Sunda; Pesantren; Mengolah Rasa.
