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.

From the typical Belitung martial arts there are indeed music sounds throughout the game. Beregong Beregong itself is not just a game or martial action. Because actually this art will be able to reflect the manhood of a Belitung man. Although there is a whip race using rattan, the unique Beripat Beregong was intentionally held with the aim of strengthening relations between villages.

In its development now, Beripat Beregong has expanded to general public activities such as thanksgiving and also art-cultural activities such as the celebration of Maras Taun and Kampung District.
