Great Indonesian Children
Jakarta (July 3, 2022) - The theme of this year's National Children's
Day is very interesting, Great Indonesian Children, very inspiring for the
recognition of protection rights and efforts to promote and fulfill the rights
of Indonesian children. Recognition of children's rights to be able to live,
grow and develop, be protected from discrimination, and participate in a bright
future. This is what is currently being echoed during the three days of the
2022 Renzo International Open Karate Championship, contesting the trophy for
the Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian from 1 to 3 July 2022 at the
Ciracas Sports Center, East Jakarta.
Involves 1,800 karatekas from Indonesia
and abroad, the majority of whom are child athletes aged 9 to 18 years. In one
of the special interview opportunities, Patron Dojo Renzo Initiator and
Organizer, Prof (Ris) Hermawan Sulistiyo who is fondly called daddy by the
children said, "This is an international championship event involving 7
countries besides Indonesia, the majority of athletes are great children.
Indonesia from various regions competes here. That's because everything is made
fun, happy, and responsive to the fulfillment of children's rights!”
Furthermore, according to Mas Kikiek, his
trademark greeting, fostering the eight multiple intelligences and
character of children is not only in classrooms and in an instant. It takes
seriousness to care for children from an early age to be able to develop the
behavior of a noble character in children.
One of them is the sport of karate,
through which children's karate is directly fostered not only the spirit of
sportsmanship but also nobility such as the spirit of knighthood, resistance
to suffering, endurance, resilience, and fighting power to achieve gradual progress
on independent abilities. Children are also taught to be able to accept victory
gracefully and accept defeat with a big heart, not blaming any party.
