Abstract
JD. Schilder was the figure who first founded the Judo association in DKI Jakarta in 1949. Since then, the development of Judo in Indonesia began. However, the participation of Indonesian Judo athletes in the first international match was only at Ganefo I in 1963 which took place in Jakarta. The award obtained by Tonny Atmajaya as the 3rd champion (bronze medal) inspired the coaches of Judo to be more serious in disseminating Judo sports in all regions in Indonesia. Since Indonesia took part in the 1977 SEA Games event, where Judo succeeded in donating three gold medals, since then Judo in Indonesia has received more attention in the national sports coaching system. The acquisition of Indonesian achievements in the SEA Games event continues to be an indicator of the success of the Judo sports coaching system, culminating in 1981 with the overall winner of the SEA Games. However, in 2013 Indonesia did not win a gold medal at all. Supporting sources are explored in more depth through document review and semi-structured interviews since the 1977 SEA Games until 2017, including the fundamental factors related to the implementation of national Judo atlet training that Indonesia once had and which is now unsustainable. This is a big question mark and will be discussed more openly in this article because it is the fulcrum for revitalizing the Judo sports development system in Indonesia.
