The style of Aikido is a dynamic and self-defence effective system of throwing, joint-locks, strikes and pinning techniques. It emphasises practical efficiency and is the style used to train women and anti-riot teams of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police. There are no tournaments and it is not classed as a sport.

Size, weight, age and physical strength play only a small role in Aikido, also making it a uniquely suited option for women, children and older students. The Aikido Shudokan Indonesia runs specialised children’s classes, and has a mix of male and female students and instructors.

The Aikido Shudokan Indonesia has a clear lineage in the tradition of Aikido.  Mark Hadiarja Sensei was first studied Yoshinkan Aikido in Melbourne, Australia in 1997 during his University studies at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.  This is where he met Joe Thambu Shihan.  Thambu Shihan first studied Yoshinkan Aikido in Malaysia in 1972 (aged 11) under his uncle Sensei Thamby Rajah, who was himself a student of Gozo Shioda - the founder of Yoshinkan Aikido and an outstanding pre-WWII student of Aikido’s founder Morihei Ueshiba. Shioda gave the name ‘Shudokan’, ‘Shu’ meaning to study, ‘do’ meaning the way and ‘kan’ meaning house. Shihan Joe Thambu was the last person to be tested by Shioda before his passing in 1994.

In 2001, Aikido Shudokan Indonesia was established witht the approval of Kyoichi Inoue Kancho and Joe Thambu Shihan.
