Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effect of Mental Skills Training on pre-competition anxiety among Pencak Silat athletes of Tapak Suci MAN 3 Kuningan.

The results showed that the athletes' average anxiety score decreased from 37.00 before the training to 26.40 after the training. The test result showed a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant effect of Mental Skills Training on reducing pre-competition anxiety
