Savuku (Tamil: சவுக்கு Malay: sauku) is the Tamil word for whip used both for domestic purposes and traditionally also in hand-to-hand fighting. Its combat application is taught in the Indian martial arts most notably in silambam and kalaripayat as well as Indon-Malay silat. Whip techniques in silambam are known as savuku adi and are generally performed from mid-range.
