TETADA (Tour & Documentation) AROUND THE WORLD
What is the origin of Tetada Kalimasada?
The art of Kalimasada was brought to the Indonesian Island of Java more than 5centuries ago by the early Hindu settlers. Earliest known materials indicate that skilledpractitioners of kalimasada were well known for their martial prowess. The art uses aunique technique of chanelling one's inner energy as well as his environment tomaintain one's physical well being and enhance his martial skills. Due to the potential of the art being used for destruction rather than for good, the teachings and practice of kalimasada have been kept secret and known only to a few families, passed on fromgeneration to generation through the centuries.Almost a decade ago, the present Grand Master, IR. Eddy Surohadi, deemed mankindwas now ready to be given this art . Under his watch, he wanted to emphasize thehealing and passive nature of the art rather than the martial side. In September 1991,he founded the Institute Terapi Tenaga Dalam (Institute for the Development of Inner Energy Cultivation and Therapy). He added the word TETADA (acronym for theinstitute ), thus forming what the practice is currently called : TETADA KALIMASADA.The Institute, headed Master IDA SUROHADI M.D.- wife of the Grandmaster, hasestablished a research and development team, consisting of over a dozen medicalspecialists in Indonesia and Europe. Their primary objective is to constantly improve theteaching methods of Tetada Kalimasada in the light of current medical and scientificadvances.As of November 2001, Tetada Kalimasada has over 100,000 students and practitionersworldwide.
What are the basic principles and objectives of Tetada Kalimasada?
Tetada Kalimasada operates on the basic principle that "man is composed of matter andenergy". Each body has seven major energy points or "chakras" located along the mainnervous system - from the base to the crown. These energy points are storehouses andtransmitters of universal energy - they interact with the electro-magnetic energy fieldand transform these into energy that sustains our lives. The chakras are oftenassociated with the endocrine gland system and each chakra is closely connected withthe functions of particular organs. The tetada kalimasada exercises or movementsperformed during practice are intended to stimulate and open these "chakras" so thatthey can receive and transmit more energy effectively. With this, specific parts of thehuman organs are enhanced, making them healthier.
