I was invited to a 2 day teaching seminar held in Jakarta. The new Shinkendo study group has 7 members and is is headed by Chris Kinetik, who is a skilled Aikido practitioner.
The seminar went well, with the 2 day seminar covering material that is normally taught over two months! I remember how it was like for me when I first started, with so many new terms, concepts and techniques. The Indonesian group is very enthusiastic, and they have asked me to visit them again in July. If they practice well, they may even qualify for Shinkendo’s first ranking.

Hi Jeff,
We r still enthusiastic till now…we make a good progress i think…especially for pak eko and pak martin…i know they’ve tried hard enough to achieve your standard…pls, send my regards to ala of shimbukan singapore member
Hi Nurham,
I have not forgotten the 7 new Shinkendo students in Indonesia. I am really glad Pak Eko and Pak Martin are putting in effort. I am really looking forward to the next trip to Jakarta. Early August looks ok for now, but my new job is demanding, so I cannot confirm anything at this stage. We will need to reconfirm closer to the proposed date
Hi Jeff,
Early august looks ok for us too. Actually, Pak Chris and I have discussed about the schedule (tentatively Friday, 10 Aug). But i think pak Chris himself will discuss it with u soon. I will inform pak Chris about this blog so he can join asap
Hi,…
Sorry I couldn’t respond earlier,… I’m not good in technology or blog 🙂 but good in having breakfast, lunch and dinner … ha..ha..ha..

Sorry to interupt you guys but i want to join Shinkendo and i dont know how?
So i got a few questions
1. Where exactly Shinkendo located at melati mas?
2. Who to contact?
3.What do i need to join Shinkendo?
(do i need to buy shinai, bougu, etc?)
4. How much does it cost?
5. This is not too important but i like to know. Is it acknowledge by AJKF or AIKF?
and again sorry to interupt, i cant hold my eagerness to join.

Handi Sutami
