Based on some authentic historical evidence or sources, actually Beripat Beregong is not yet known when it emerged. But according to an oral source, it is said that the art of Belitung has existed since the time of the Badau Kingdom. A local story states that Beripat Beregong emerged from the story in Kelekak Gelanggang village or now Desa Mentigi. So in the past there was a beautiful girl in the village who made many men want to ask for her hand. Because many men came to propose, then these men agreed to hold a martial arts competition. This self-defense is carried out using tools in the form of rattan. The martial arts that came to be known as Beripat Beregong were given the rule that beatings had to be carried out on the opponent's back. The winner of the match who is able to marry the girl is determined who did not get a hit or at least received a back blow.
