Teräs Käsi is a martial arts technique that was first mentioned in the Star Wars universe by writer Steve Perry in his 1996 novel Shadows of the Empire. Teräs Käsi, as FightSaber has pointed out, is based on the Indonesian martial art, pencak silat. The creator, Steve Perry is himself a pencak silat practictioner. His idea of Teräs Käsi was something that a non-Jedi would develop in order to combat Jedi. Its aggressive stance, as well as allowing a physically weaker opponent to best a physically stronger one makes it attractive to anyone who wants to even the playing field against a Jedi. Hiring pencak silat action stars Iko Uwais, Yayan Ruhian and Cecep Arif Rahman seems to be a clear indication that Teräs Käsi is going to play a role in the new Star Wars film. Thanks to The Raid 2, all three men have demonstrated experience in choreographing and performing fight sequences in movies and leading man Uwais has proven himself capable of acting depth as well. herebegeeks/movies/casting-the-raid-action-stars-in-star-wars-the-force-awakens/
