'''Savuku''' ({{lang-ta|சவுக்கு}}, [[Malay language|Malay]]: ''sauku'') is the [[Tamil language|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 Indo-Malay [[silat]]. Whip techniques in silambam are known as ''savuku adi'' and are generally performed from mid-range.<ref name="uk">{{cite web|author=Master Murugan, Chillayah, Silambam Academy |publisher=[[Silambam]]|title=Silambam Weapons - Whip Savuku|date=20 October 2012|url=http://silambam.asia|accessdate=25 May 2022}}</ref>{{Unreliable source?|date=June 2022}}
