<span style="background-color: transparent;">Although the sport has only been competed and has not yet achieved high performance, Indonesia's national underwater hockey team is targeting gold at the 2019 SEA Games in Manila, Philippines.</span></div>
<br />
More than one hundred athletes took part in the Underwater Hockey National Championship held by PB POSSI and opened on Tuesday (4/30/2019) at the Aquatic Stadium, Gelora Bung Karno Complex, Senayan.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The total was followed by 15 provinces from all over Indonesia who sent their respective representatives.<br />
<br />
The National Championship is also one of the pre-selections for the 2019 Manila SEA Games, in November while waiting for the coach who came from Australia to arrive in Jakarta.<br />
<br />
"Actually this is just pre-selection, there will be a selection of national training waiting for coaches from Australia to come," said the Jury, as well as Jakarta Underwater Hockey athlete, Andhika Gerald Dariano to City News, Wednesday (1/5/2019).<br />
<br />
"If now we see at what level their ability to play, fitness, skills and understanding of this sport to what extent," added Andhika.<br />
<br />
Andhika, who is more familiarly called Darren, admitted that it was very helpful to see which players had the potential with this National Championship.<br />
<br />
"Underwater Hockey has just entered the SEA Games this year so it has become a boom in the eyes of swimmers. We take advantage of this opportunity to find new training members so we can help us at the SEA Games later," he explained.<br />
<br />
Although he has not yet started official training camps, Darren, who is a subscriber of the Underwater Hockey Indonesia national team, is targeting to win a gold medal at the SEA Games next November.<br />
<br />
But further Darren also admitted that the competition map in Underwater Hockey in Southeast Asia was still controlled by Singapore and the Philippines which began to overtake.<br />
<br />
In fact, the two countries have started training camps for their national teams, plus the complete facilities and infrastructure of water sports in the two countries.<br />
<br />
"The target is, of course, the gold medal. The competition map is indeed Singapore, the most dangerous one. They are indeed intense and very extraordinary," said the 21-year athlete.<br />
<br />
"The ones to watch out for besides Singapore might be the Philippines, yes. They have started training centres and we have not started yet, but yes we remain confident," he added.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, the underwater hockey athlete who has crossed the Asian Championship also hopes that the government through the Ministry of Youth and Sports can directly assist the preparatory process for the 2019 SEA Games.<br />
<br />
"And we really need help from the Ministry of Youth and Sports, we need certainty to prepare to win gold in sea games. We didn't come to play as a complementary team. Indeed, the target is gold," said Darren.Ihsantohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16718793503092406122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034136783956071481.post-25485685017623634922020-04-18T22:55:00.000-07:002020-04-27T08:54:45.501-07:00Underwater Hockey Sports<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Underwater Hockey is an underwater sport with one breath as strong as possible, pass to a friend then take a breath and dive back then accept and bring a puck (ball) using a stick (maximum length of 30 cm) and insert a puck into the goal size of 3 meters.<br />
<br />
This game is played by 2 teams of 6 players each with 4 backup players, wherein the game there are no goalkeepers and also no off-side system. This game still requires a referee consisting of 2 underwater referees and 1 main referee on land.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
To distinguish a team, it is only seen based on the colour of the stick, namely black and white. The game time needed is 2 x 15 minutes with a field area of 12 M x 21 M.<br />
<br />
Equipment needed is Fin, Mask, Snorkeling, Mouthguard, polo caps, and gloves.<br />
<br />
This sport was in Jakarta last year and was brought and taught by Christianto Sahat. More details can be seen at <a href="http://www.id-uhc.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6:juhcthebeginning&catid=7:juhchistory&Itemid=">http://www.id-uhc.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6:juhcthebeginning&catid=7:juhchistory&Itemid=</a><br />
<br />
In general, this sport for new players has required at least basic skills such as free legs with a fin. Furthermore, skills must be improved by learning to breathe with a snorkel device, then can swim freestyle, duck diving, frog diving and snorkel clearing. Advanced skills such as curl and pass, stealing, blocking, swearf and trick.<br />
<br />
Snorkle is a breathing device in the form of a pipe/hose made of plastic is needed because when players look at the bottom of the pool, the player breathes only by using the mouth and in the end, must pay attention to the moving puck (ball).<br />
<br />
Freestyle swimming is needed when the basic skills have been fulfilled so it is very necessary freestyle swimming expertise. Because freestyle swimming is needed at the beginning of the game (scramble puck by 2 teams placed in the middle) or useful for chasing opponents when carrying a puck.<br />
<br />
Duck dive is swimming, then diving is required when taking puck during a race or chasing an opponent.<br />
<br />
Frog diving is simply diving to the bottom without having to swim first, the point is to keep the opponent who will pass through the defence area.<br />
<br />
In this game there are rules as well as sticks may not touch the opponent's body or the opponent's stick. Sticks should only touch the puck. It is prohibited to hold the opponent's feet, hands during the game intentionally and other rules.<br />
<br />
The Underwater Hockey game in Jakarta already has around 30 active members under the Jakarta Underwater Hockey Club. Training is generally 2 times a week, Monday and Thursday nights, from 19:00 to 21:00 in the Krida Loka Senaya swimming pool. Each active member will be charged a low membership fee of Rp. 75,000 per month. This JUHC activity can be seen on Facebook or on Twitter and also on the website www.id-uhc.org<br />
<br />
Jakarta Underwater Hockey Club or abbreviated as JUHC is growing rapidly and with a very enthusiastic leader Christianto Sahat invites the players of the JUHC to try to compete with other countries where JUHC was invited to participate in the Underwater Hockey competition between Asia which was held on the 2nd to 4th December 2011 in Singapore, with participating countries namely Singapore, the Philippines, China, Japan, Australia and Indonesia.<br />
<br />
Hopefully, the JUHC players who go to Singapore can win the game.Ihsantohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16718793503092406122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034136783956071481.post-27003324667465770562020-04-18T22:50:00.001-07:002020-04-18T22:51:00.612-07:00Underwater Hockey Indonesia Donates Silver and Bronze<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Both the Singapore men's and women's team - fined alone financially - won the first gold medal in the sport, making their SEA Sports debut<br />
<br />
<br />
Singapore's underwater hockey team made history yesterday when men and women won the first two gold medals in sports, which will make their debut at the SEA Games.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The team defeated the Philippines 5-0 in the 4x4 final at Vermosa Sports Center on the outskirts of Manila. The women followed with a 4-2 win over the Philippines to finish double.<br />
<br />
A men's victory may look like a landslide, but national male coach David Lambert insists the Philippines is a great outfit.<br />
<br />
"It's hard, Filipinos really work hard at home. But they have a strong game and this is a real team effort," he said in a telephone interview with The New Paper.<br />
<br />
"They have many locals who support them and the atmosphere is strong. We can hear them cheering even under the water."<br />
<br />
Lambert congratulates captain Jonathan Chan and vice-captain Jerryl Twang for leading the team to victory.<br />
<br />
He said: "Captains are great at leading teams. With their enthusiasm, teams work together and produce gold."<br />
<br />
Also known as squid, this sport originated in England. Both teams wore snorkel masks and used 35cm sticks to push brightly colored balls into the opponent's goal.<br />
<br />
Singapore's victory is extraordinary because no one has become a full-time athlete. Of the 12 male teams, 11 are professional workers, and one is a student.<br />
<br />
Chan, a pilot, praised the team for their commitment.<br />
<br />
The 34-year-old player said: "We are self-financed and are on leave to work abroad. If a coach is not available, I will fill it.<br />
<br />
"I am very proud of the children and how they played in the finals. We came out at the right time and played together when it was important."<br />
<br />
Women's team deputy captain Sheena Soh echoes Chan's sentiments. The 28-year-old actuary links the team's success with perseverance and passion.<br />
<br />
<br />
He said: "My teammates and I have full-time jobs, so some try to practice before and others after work. I am fortunate to have a boss who supports my journey, and it pays off."<br />
<br />
"I am also very grateful to the Singaporeans who came to Manila to support us. Hearing their cheers really encouraged us to give our best and win."<br />
<br />
Both teams have the opportunity to sweep because they are also at the 6x6 event, which continues today.<br />
<br />
But the two coaches gave up.<br />
<br />
Lambert said: "We only take game after game ... focusing on the present and the present.<br />
<br />
"We have practiced a lot. It will be challenging, but we will fight a lot."<br />
<br />
Female coach Lena Plambeck said: "6x6 is a completely different match, so we will go in and hope we do our best."Ihsantohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16718793503092406122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034136783956071481.post-73215368271758940532020-04-17T20:01:00.000-07:002020-04-17T20:01:32.903-07:00STIRLING UNDERWATER HOCKEY CLUB SINGAPOREWhat is Underwater Hockey?<br />

Underwater Hockey (UWH), is a global limited contact sport where two teams compete to maneuver at the bottom of the group with the aim of the opposing team by pushing it with a hockey stick (bat).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>For the love of sports and water!</b><br />
<br />
UWH is unique because it allows people who love team sports and water, the environment to exercise and enjoy themselves. Feeling underwater with fins and being actively involved in competitive games is another experience. Come and try it today !!<br />

<br />
<b>About Us</b><br />
<br />
Stirling Underwater Hockey Club (SUHC) was founded in 2004 with the aim of introducing and promoting this exciting game in Singapore.<br />
<br />
With active members from several countries: Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Belgium, South Africa, Portugal, the Netherlands, Australia, Germany and the United Kingdom, SUHC is easily one of the most international underwater hockey clubs in the world.<br />
<br />
The age of SUHCers ranges from sixteen to seniors in the fifties, and this group consists of a large number of female players (around one in three are women).<br />
<br />
SUHC has involved UWH neighbours, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and the Philippines in a friendly competition, which led to the holding of the first Asian Underwater Hockey Championships (AUHC) in 2007 in Singapore.Ihsantohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16718793503092406122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034136783956071481.post-37316609842317181922020-04-17T19:44:00.001-07:002020-04-17T19:46:02.471-07:00Underwater hockey: SEA Sports Gold doubles for Singapore when the men's and women's teams defeat the Philippines<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

CLARK, Philippines: Moments after emerging from the waters after a historic victory at the SEA Sports underwater hockey tournament, team captain Jonathan Chan has considered the team's next goal: Another gold.<br />
<br />
"To win the gold medal, to implement and implement our strategies and plans, I am very proud of our children. It is great to be here," Chan said.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
"Half the work is done, so we get one medal and we will hunt another. We enjoy this moment but we focus on the next gold."<br />
<br />
Singapore's men's and women's underwater hockey team won gold at the 30th SEA Games in the Philippines on Wednesday (December 4) at the Vermoza Sports Center in Imus, Cavite.<br />
<br />
In the 4x4 event, the men's team defeated the Philippines 5-0 while the women's match ended 4-2.<br />
<br />
A 3-0 defeat in the first half of the men's final was enough to give Singapore the lead to win and they sealed the win with two goals after the break.<br />
<br />
"I think we came out at the right time - in the gold medal match. That's when we really came together," Chan explained.<br />
<br />
"Over the past few days, we have been trying to reach this point ... This is what it should be and I am very happy with it (apparently)."<br />
<br />
The women's 4X4 final closer to the Philippines threatened to return with two late goals. But Singapore survived.<br />
<br />
Coach Lena Plambeck acknowledged his accusations of performing well and described him as a "great team" to work with.<br />
<br />
"Even though this is an amateur sport, they are very professional about their training, their preparation for the competition," said Plambeck.<br />
<br />
"They have to do everything themselves and they are very focused and it's easy to train, listen, use, try something. This is a great team to work with."<br />
<br />
Singapore Gold is the first SEA Games medal for this sport, debuting at the 2019 SEA Games.<br />
<br />
Singapore has now won three gold medals on Wednesday, following a victory in the women's three-way final.<br />
<br />
"Underwater hockey is not a mainstream sport and in terms of marine sports, it is very exciting," said Chan, a former water polo player.<br />
<br />
The men's and women's teams will compete in the 6x6 event, with round-robin matches starting today.<br />
<br />
An underwater hockey victory doubled Singapore's total gold medal (11).Ihsantohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16718793503092406122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034136783956071481.post-16253880726016883302020-04-17T19:35:00.001-07:002020-04-17T19:44:29.960-07:00Philippine Underwater Hockey Association (PUHC)<div class="post-title" style="color: whitesmoke; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; height: auto; max-width: 585px !important; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-transform: uppercase; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<br />
The Philippines Underwater Hockey Confederation (PUHC) is the first club in Asia dedicated to underwater hockey. PUHC is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and was established in 1991.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>The origin of PUHC</b><br />
<br />
In 1979, the president of a dive shop in Manila called Dive Asia, read an article about underwater hockey in the World Underwater Federation (CMAS) magazine. After asking and receiving information about the rules and equipment of the game, their first underwater game was held in a store pool in 1980. The game reached a diving club at the University of the Philippines, known as U.P. Divers are the first people to find a public place for scrimmage games. They first played in the Quezon City Sports Club pool every Tuesday night from 1984 to 1997.<br />
<br />
In 1990, these players finally entered the Philippine Underwater Hockey Club. Since then, it has developed into the Philippines Underwater Underwater Hockey Association (PUHC) and is recognized by the Philippine Olympic Committee and the Confederation of Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques (Federation of the Underwater World).<br />
<br />
Over the years, addiction was passed from one recruitment to the next, gradually increasing PUHC's expertise.<br />
<br />
Today, this is an umbrella organization that manages underwater hockey clubs throughout the archipelago.Ihsantohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16718793503092406122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034136783956071481.post-20226700047586943422020-04-17T03:21:00.002-07:002020-04-17T03:26:11.649-07:00Underwater Hockey Diving in Australia<br />

The bottom of the pool is not just for standing. Instead, it has become a non-contact sports base that has shaken the world. To compete in two teams, players must enter the opposing team's goals, such as hockey - except these are all underwater. Playing throughout Australia and the world for more than 50 years, we have seen Underwater Hockey.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>History of Underwater Hockey</b><br />
Underwater Hockey was first named Octopush during the discovery in 1954. At Southsea Sub-Aqua Club in England, creator Alan Blake was worried that members would not attend the club during cooler months when the sea would be too cold to dive. Consisting of 8 players per team (octo), each holding a pushher (a bat similar to a small shuffleboard stick), the player must move the lead sheet without a sheath to the opponent's net.<br />
<br />
Since its introduction more than 50 years ago, Underwater Hockey has developed into a sport that is played in more than 20 countries. And after the creation of the event in 1980, the World Championships are held every 2 years, featuring competitors from countries including Australia, Colombia, Japan and South Africa.<br />
<br />
<b>Walk</b><br />
<br />
In 1962, Norm Leibeck, a diving instructor, brought underwater hockey to Canada. Since being introduced to Australia in 1966, underwater hockey has become a popular sport, with the first Australian Underwater Hockey Championship held in 1975 in Margaret River, Western Australia. Following the success of the title, the women's division was added in 1981, followed by the junior division in 1990.<br />
<br />
With the recognition of the title, Australia is in the top 40, including winning several world championships. The 2016 World Championship saw Australia bring home gold for the sons, elites and masters, as well as the women's team, with the elite placing sixth and 1st.<br />
<br />
<b>In-Play Equipment</b><br />
Today, two teams of ten players face each other in six-player to matches at a time. Players start the game on the water, touching the wall above their destination. The pieces are placed in the middle of the pool. The player must then swim in the 'game area' and try to score points by scoring goals. Usually, the formation is 3-3 (three attackers and three defenders). Once a goal has been scored, players must return to their wall to start a new game, and breaks can be played because of a foul, time out, or the end of the game. Half the time the team changes.<br />
<br />
Each player must wear a diving mask, fins, snorkel and gloves. Dive, snorkel and fins masks increase underwater visibility and stay in place throughout the game, helping players swim faster. Gloves protect the player's hand from being hit by a finger book.<br />
<br />
During the game, players must avoid penalties ranging from stopping a piece with something that is not a stick to using a stick against someone or something other than in the game. Depending on what the penalty is, the result can see the other team getting control and the players from the penalty team are kicked out of the game, among other situations.<br />
<br />
Underwater hockey there are four to five referees who play at once. Two or three referees in the water watch the match and players from the bottom of the pool, while other referees keep track of the time, foul, and maintain the score from the pool deck. The deck, or chairman, referees and referees in the water communicate through signals to start and stop the game.Ihsantohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16718793503092406122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034136783956071481.post-19171564532120369952020-04-17T03:03:00.000-07:002020-04-17T03:03:59.044-07:00Get acquainted with Underwater Hockey, Sports that are gaining in popularity in Indonesia<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Philippines' national underwater hockey team was enjoying their chance to win gold when they made their debut at the 30th Asian Games.<br />
<br />
Team captains Alex Colet and Chari May Ongyanco were very interested in the potential of the SEA Games after extensive training and exposure to high calibre competition as part of their improvement.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
"We have a high chance of winning the SEA Games gold and the aim is for us to win everything," Ongyanco said in Filipino on Saturday at Vermosa Sportshub here. "We play in the Asian Championships and we compete in the World."<br />
<br />
The Philippines expects big challenges for the three other countries in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore in the two-year meeting.<br />
<br />
But the home side is confident of completing their task of facing tougher competition in the past, especially Australia, which is one of the best underwater hockey countries in the world.<br />
<br />
And that is one of the advantages of the Philippines compared to other countries.<br />
<br />
"If you play against Kobe Bryants, as you say, then the Asian team we will fight against is Kobe Bryants because, in the world championship, Australia is in third place," said Colet, a World Stage veteran who will lead the men's team.<br />
<br />
"Since we played against Australia, we have set standards and even intensity in games that we think we can carry in games that our competitors haven't experienced," added Colet, who plays the role of centre back.<br />
<br />
The Nationals, who want to win all four gold medals at stake, will play December 2-5 at Vermosa Sportshub.Ihsantohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16718793503092406122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034136783956071481.post-2900607702337994112020-04-16T17:28:00.001-07:002020-04-17T03:05:53.338-07:00Malaysia Underwater Hockey Team will $tick to Their Resolve<div style="background-color: white; border: none; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.533em; margin-bottom: 15px; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow: visible; padding: 0px;">

Underwater Hockey is a new sport in the 2019 SEA Games. This sport has become one of the most contested sports in the Philippines. Indonesia itself takes part in the sport which is a combination of diving and hockey.<br />
<br />
Judging from its name, Underwater Hockey is a kind of hockey sport that is carried out at the bottom of a pond by using tools. These athletes are equipped with special sticks and diving equipment. Underwater Hockey was introduced by Alan Blake in 1954. This sport is under the supervision of the Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques (CMAS).<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Since 1980, this sport has held a world championship. Previously, the Philippines became the first Asian country to play this sport in the 70s. For this reason, the 2019 SEA Games will be the first to compete in this sport.<br />
<br />
In this sport, Indonesia is determined to be able to steal gold. Although relatively new, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the All Indonesian Diving Association (PB POSSI), Maj. Gen. Marines (Ret.) Buyung Lalana is optimistic that the assisted athletes can bring gold medals to be met in between training athletes at the Aquatic Stadium, GBK, Senayan on Thursday (10/31) night WIB.<br />
<br />
"I ask these athletes to be able to perform optimally in order to win the gold. Moreover, we also have this opportunity (won gold) in the men's number, "said Buyung, as quoted by Akurat.coIhsantohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16718793503092406122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034136783956071481.post-3245548013955681492020-04-16T07:22:00.002-07:002020-04-16T07:22:33.040-07:00ARE YOU A NEWBIE IN UNDERWATER HOCKEY?First Beginner Class Briefing on Water Hockey<br />
If so ... welcome to the Jakarta Underwater Hockey Club (JUHC), the first underwater hockey club in Jakarta and Indonesia.<br />
<br />
Last month, JUHC opened a new class for the first time in 2016 and successfully captured six new members. They are Yongky Andrew, Jennifer Nadine, Bobby Agus Kurniawan, Febri Muhammad Sabila and Krisna. The new class is held for four weeks and new members are taught basic water hockey movements such as duck diving, frog diving, finning and curling.<br />

Beginner Classes are Trying out Water Hockey Equipment Before Swimming Sessions<br />
Look easy? Bobby Agus called this sport an extreme sport because players must be able to master the game and how to play but at the same time, must be able to process their oxygen levels. "This is crazy! In other sports, you only need to focus on the game and not have to worry about your breathing. But in water hockey, you play while holding your breath, "said Bobby. However, Bobby said he would continue to practice. Thankfully!<br />
<br />
Currently Bobby is at the novice level, one level higher than the beginner. At this level, the trainer will teach swerve and flick techniques. Swerve is a movement where the player changes the direction of the puck (the ball in water hockey) suddenly to protect from competing opponents and flick is when the puck is raised floating from the bottom of the pool by using a stick then directed towards a teammate or to score a goal.<br />
<br />
<b>Coach Rendy Teaches about Water Hockey Equipment</b><br />
Coach Arif Junus said body fitness was very important in this sport helping players achieve the speed and strength needed in water hockey. "There will be variations in BOGDAT (Breathe Once Go Down and Touch), free style swimming portions using frog shoes or not using frog shoes and regular menus such as Half Over Half Under (HOHU), Half Under Half Over (HUHO) and apnea (swimming in the water with one breath for a certain distance) to forge the stamina of new members, "said Arif.<br />
<br />
Next is the right position and down time. Finding a good position at the right time is very important because in water hockey, the communication strategy is silent communication. It is impossible to talk with teammates in the water, so each player must use his intuition to put himself in the team formation, up and down and help teammates. Usually it takes several months for players to be able to have the instincts of the right time to dive and put themselves in position during play.<br />
<br />
So, are you new to water hockey? Prepare yourself for this challenge, don't give up and use your time as best you can to absorb all the information from your coach and teammates. Enjoy each phase in this challenging sport ... water hockey. See you at the bottom!

<br />
Hockey Both on land and on ice, this one sport must be familiar to our ears. But have you heard underwater hockey? Although the title is quite self-explanatory, it turns out that this sport is not as easy as playing hockey underwater. It requires physical endurance and also good teamwork. Moreover, this water sport turned out to be quite a lot of fans not only in the world but also in Jakarta. Last week the Tupperware Men team visited Senayan Swimming Pool to chat with Shasa Sigit, one of the organizers of the Jakarta Underwater Hockey. For those who are curious, let's refer to the thrill of finding out about this unique sport!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>What is an Underwater Hockey?</b><br />
<br />
Sports Hockey is a hockey that is done in the water, which is at the bottom of a swimming pool. The depth varies from 1.5 meters to 3 meters. Initially, this sport was discovered in 1950 in England. At that time there were some scuba divers who in winter could not do outdoor sports. Finally, they tried to do sports indoors, namely in the swimming pool (indoor). Finally, they tried to play hockey in the water. This sport used to be called 'Octopush' because the players (who use their legs and arms) move were similar to an octopus. While the addition of the letter 'h' at the end of the word is wordplay to form the word 'push', referring to the activity of pushing the hockey puck in the water.<br />
In Indonesia, this sport only appeared in 2010. We (Jakarta Underwater Hockey) have entered the 5th year and were initially introduced by Chris Sahad who had joined one of the underwater hockey teams in Singapore. When he returned to Jakarta, he began to build teams ranging from 3 to 4 people and then continues to grow until now with a total number of members of more than 300 people, varying from students to employees. But there are still 40 people who are actively playing.<br />
<br />
For the Jakarta Underwater Hockey club, we don't have many branches in Indonesia. At the moment we are just starting a pioneer in Jogja, around 10-15 people are consisting of UGM and UNY students. Apart from that we also introduced to several other cities such as Semarang and Bandung.<br />
<br />
<b>Is this sport a sport that is contested in the Olympics?</b><br />
<br />
Worldwide this sport has not yet entered the Olympics. But underwater hockey has its own international championship, with participants coming from all over the world. In 2016, there will be an Underwater Hockey World Championship in South Africa. For in Asia, there is also the championship itself, the Asia Underwater Hockey Championship (AUHC). The first time we joined the AUHC was in 2011, precisely in Singapore. Then in 2013, we also took part in the same event as host Manila. And this year, we will be the hosts, precisely in November. Participants came from Singapore, the Philippines, Japan and China.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Can you explain, what are the tools needed to play underwater hockey?</b><br />
<br />
There are several tools used in this sport. Starting from the head there is a snorkel to breathe through the mouth, equipped with a mask to see in the water. Then there is also a polo cap that is used to protect the head, especially the ear which is vulnerable to stick or puck. For the legs we use fins, frog legs are used for swimming. The fin that we use the back closed, while for scuba diving is usually open. There is also a glove, for one of the dominant hands (used in play). There are two types of sticks, namely fibre and wood. Of course, we also use a puck made of metal, weighing 1.8kg, and covered on all sides by rubber so that it can move at the bottom of the pool.<br />
<br />
The pool used, the average used size of 20x25m, can also be 15x20m and 15x25m. But what we use is only the wide side of the pool, not the elongated one. Like other hockey sports, we also have a goal. The goalpost is at the bottom of the water, made of metal, with a height of 80cm and a width of 3m placed from end to end.<br />
<br />
<b>What preparations are needed?</b><br />
<br />
The basis of this sport is good swimming skills. The most often we use is freestyle, so hand and foot coordination must be good. Besides, physical endurance and strong breathing are needed. Therefore, before the game, we get used to warming up, then swim, then practice breathing. There are two warm-up exercises, the first is 'BOGDAT', which stands for 'Breath Once Go Down and Touch'. So after taking a breath, we go down into the water to the bottom of the pool, then touch the bottom of the pool, up to the top, and so on. Then there is another breathing exercise which is also called 'apnea', by swimming from end to end with just one breath.<br />
<br />
We are indeed required to hold our breath firmly in the water, but that does not mean to hold our breath for long. In the game, we just stay in the water for less than a minute, take the breath up and then go down again.<br />
<br />
<b>Are there any conditions if you want to join Jakarta Underwater Hockey?</b><br />
New members will be included in the beginner category and will be given an introduction related to this sport for approximately one month. After one month, if the mastery is good, members can enter the novice / intermediate category.<br />
<br />
New participants will be lent masks, fins, snorkels, gloves and sticks. But it is advisable to bring personal equipment because our tools are limited. Especially for fins, the size of each leg is different, we don't necessarily have a certain size here. The first month to two months can use club-owned equipment so that members are not too rushed so they are not wrong to buy because the equipment tends to be expensive.<br />
<br />
Every month we charge a fee of only Rp. 75,000 per month, only for the cost of renting a pool, because club members do not need to buy tickets at the ticket window. At the beginning of every month we open registration for new members through social media, be it Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and blogs<br />
<br />
Come on, what are you waiting for? If you are interested in joining, you can check on the Jakarta Underwater Hockey Facebook page, or via Twitter and Instagram. Those who are still curious, can watch their videos on Youtube or chat directly with them by coming to the Senayan Swimming Pool (near Kridaloka Park) every Monday and Thursday at 7 pm.<br />

participate in Asian Underwater Hockey Championship in Manila by the end of
November, this month. We are fully realize that it's not an easy journey for us
to participate in this event since we are new to this sport as well as in
Indonesia, we also have no experts that train us regularly, we don't have any
other pool as an option for our practice, and other difficulties (trust me it
can go all day), but we found a new family here, yes a family. Strangers whose
become friends, friends whose become lovers (eeaaaa) and even friends whose
become a family! ;)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">You know we are a self-funding club, and it's
always a cliche that money is a real deal here, especially when it comes to
participate in the event like this. Thus, it would be very much appreciated if
you can lend us a helping hand to help JUHC participate in this coming AUHC in
form of donation. Number is not an issue as long as it come from your willing
heart and good intention :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Your donation can be transferred to JUHC Mandiri
Account (an. Titisari Rahardjo) 142 00 1238 1645</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">And you can reach me or Titis for the
confirmation. Last but not least, thank you guys for all the support, and
please wish us luck! ;)</span><br />

Ghiboo.com - Sports hockey very similar to football. Game by relying on physical and involves body contact is usually played on a field. But have you ever imagine what if the ground game is carried into the water. Curious is not it?<br />
<br />
Hockey can be played not only on the field. Hockey is one sport that American society is required it can be moved into the water. His name is underwater hockey.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Invented in 1953 by members of the British South Sea Scuba, Alan Blake, underwater hockey, of course, different from the usual.<br />
<br />
The first, the game takes place in the water (swimming pools to be exact), with the players dribble puck (ball tin slab, weighing 1.3 Kg) with a stick down the bottom of the pool to be able to throw the puck into the goal.<br />
<br />
The second is, do not be a rough body contact as in hockey. So, the puck is touched first, not the body of the opponent.<br />
<br />
Lastly, this game uses a snorkel. This means that the players must rise to take the occasional breath.<br />
<br />
Many are mistaken and think that the game is boring. This game is actually very challenging. More challenging than football.<br />
<br />
While at a depth of 2-3 meters, the opponent can not only come from the front, back and sides, but also come from the top. Similarly, breathing.<br />
<br />
Arrangements must be in accordance with the power of breath. This is because it only has one chance to take a breath and last a long time in the water.<br />
<br />
Moreover the number of players just as much as six people (three back and three forward). They all had to wade through an area of 25 square meters is.<br />
<br />
In underwater hockey, winning the deciding factor is not actually working but hold your breath. So much energy is spent just to dribble and shooting the puck in the water.<br />
<br />
Players at least hold my breath only for five to ten seconds. So the key is to work together to create goals in this game.<br />
<br />
Australia and Singapore are two countries that were first popularized hockey in the Asia-Pacific region.<br />
<br />
In Indonesia alone, a new team was formed in 2010 with a club called Jakarta Underwater Hockey Club. Although only one-year-old, active members JUWHC counted as many as 60 people.<br />
<br />
Quite a lot considering it's just an area of Jakarta. So if you intend to play, which should be required only basic swimming skills alone. Easy is not it? Good luck.<br />
<br />
With what?<br />
Because the "fight" hockey is in the water, a tool that supports the following games:<br />
<br />
1. Snorkel plus mouthguard in order to breathe and protect the mouth.<br />
2. Head cap to protect the head and ear.<br />
3. Without the goggles, what can be seen in the water?<br />
4. Fin allows moving faster in the water.<br />
5. The hockey stick is made of water.<br />
6. Puck or ball.<br />
7. Silicon glove to protect the hand that brushed the bottom.</div>
