Biography Rudy Hartono

Rudy Hartono's Badminton Career Trip Rudy Hartono Kurniawan, who was born with the name Nio Hap Liang on August 18, 1949, was the third child of Semblan brothers, his father, Zulkarnaen Kurniawan. Rudy's two brothers, Freddy Harsono and Diana Veronica are also badminton players even though they are new at the regional level. His younger siblings were Jeanne Utami, Eliza Laksmi Dewi, Ferry Harianto, Tjosi Hartanto, and Hauwtje Hariadi. Some of his younger siblings also became players at the regional level. This large family lives on Jalan Kaliasin 49, now Jalan Basuki Rachmat, a business district in Surabaya. This residence is also a place for sewing business. Their other businesses include milk processing near Wanokromo. The father, first joined the Badminton Association of Okay which he founded in 1951. In 1964 the organization was dissolved and he moved to Surya Naga Group. Here, the father was asked to train young players. In training, Zulkarnaen applies four standards: speed, breathing, consistency, and aggressiveness. Because of that standard, he often trains players to be proficient in the field of athletic sports in particular short and long distance runs, jumps, and so on. Childhood Like other children, little Rudy is also interested in participating in various types of sports in schools, especially athletics. When he was in elementary school, he liked to swim. Middle school, he likes to play volleyball and high school, he became a good soccer player. Even so, badminton is the biggest interest. When he was 9 years old, Rudy had shown his talent in this sport. But his father, Zulkarnaen Kurniawan, only realized this talent when Rudy was 11 years old. His father was a badminton player who participated in his youth.

Before that Rudy only practiced on the asphalt highway in front of the PLN office in Surabaya, previously known as Jalan Gemblongan - written by Rudy Hartono in his book Rajawali with Jurus Padi (1986). Rudy trains only on Sundays, from morning until 10 at night. After feeling enough, Rudy decided to take part in small competitions around Surabaya which at that time were usually only lit by petromax lights. After his father became aware of his son's talent, little Rudy began to be trained systematically at the Okay Badminton Association with a pattern of training determined by his father. As information, Rudy's father was also a badminton player in his youth. Zulkarnain once played in the main class competition in Surabaya. Zulkarnain first played for the Okay Badminton Association which he founded himself in 1951. In this association Rudy's father also trained young players. The coaching program emphasizes four main things: speed, good breathing, consistency of the game and aggressiveness in picking up the target. Not surprisingly, many coaching programs emphasize the athletic side, such as long and short distance running and also high jump training. When Rudy started practicing at the Association that he had at that time Rudy felt the real professional training. At that time the association where Rudy's father trained only had a training room in the train carriage warehouse at Karangmenjangan PJKA. With such conditions Rudy continued to practice with enthusiasm and he even felt that his father's training ground was far better than the previous practice site because the building room had used electric lights so that he could keep practicing to the full evenings. In addition, the field provided was also better than before and there was also a canteen next to the training building. Early career After a long time joining his father's group, Rudy finally decided to move to a bigger badminton group, the Rajawali Group, a group that has produced many badminton players in the world. At the beginning he joined this group, Rudy felt he had found the best group to develop his badminton talent. But after discussing with his father, Rudy admitted that if he wanted his badminton career to increase, he would have to move to a better training place, so Rudy decided to move to the Thomas Cup Training Center in late 1965. Shortly after that , Rudy's appearance improved. In fact, he took part in winning the Thomas Cup for Indonesia in 1967. At the age of 18, Rudy won the All England Champion title for the first time by defeating Tan Aik Huang of Malaysia with final results 15-12 and 15-9. After that he continued to win this title until 1974.
