Clase de tiro con arco tradicional de Java

Excellent immersive experience learning Jemparingan with Pak Agung. My group really loved the education and history of the sport, as well as the way Pak Agung explained everything in a very calm and wise manner. The step by step approach was very detailed and allowed us to understand the art and technique behind it with respect. When we actually got to try the Jemparingan, it was super addictive and fun. My favourite part was the meditative experience where all you had to do was focus on yourself and what you were doing. I had been searching for a Jemparingan class for a long time and was so happy I came across this workshop and the opportunity to learn from a master. We also had a very good translator-guide Salwa who was lovely and fun company. Definitely highly recommended for a true Javanese experience! Do support such local artisans!

This was a great experience. The locals were very friendly and helpful, the archery was a lot of fun and it felt special to be there experiencing their traditional variation of it

A new and truly different experience. We learned about Javanese culture during the class which was very interesting. It was also nice to see our shooting improve by the end of the session, which made it all the more enjoyable.

What a COOL experience! The company was very accommodating and quick to respond over WhatsApp. We arrived 30 mins late bc of various road closures close to the address but Bagus and the teacher still accommodated us. My kid, 9 year old son, had a great time, as did I. The archery teacher is also an artist and so the bows are beautifully handcrafted by him and the teaching studio is lovely. Bagus was our guide and helped facilitate translation….then went out of his way to give us a lift to the temple afterwards when it was clear we would not make it to prambanan otherwise before closing. Thank you!

We had so much fun learning about Javanese archery. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. This was one of our fave things we did while touring. Would definitely recommend!

The archery class was an absolute 'hit'! A fun and learningfull activity, accompagnied by oh so nice people in a great admosphere. I kept it as a surprise excursion for my family, mind you the children are way over 20, and they were still talking about it the next day! It is time well spent because not only will you have fun activity, you will also directly interact with very welcoming and friendly people. Just go and let it surprise you!

Me, my girlfriend and some friends did this activity today. We all enjoyed it very much. The trainers were friendly and helpful and we all increased in skill greatly by the end of the course

The traditional archery experience was amazing. I completely recommend them - easy communication and transportation, and a wonderful instructor and guide.

Why not doing something extra and more fun after Prambanan tour, let’s learn how to shoot arrow!!! Mr Alga is a friendly and professional tour guide. Always update with the client prior the activity start. He picked us up on time with his car and took us to the Pendhapa Jemparingan (the place where we learned about traditional archery) At the centre, we were taught by the master himself named Mr Agung starting from dress attire until learn how to shoot (and if you’re fast learner, you can hit bullseyes).

This was the most phenomenal archery class I have taken in my life. A chance for a warrior tradition near the very temples of Yogyakarta it participated in during ancient times to be brought to life in a modern era. To see the entire home and school integrated with teacher and family over a cup of traditional tea and to engage in the art of ancient Javanese archery was a total honor! Would love to learn more and totally recommend this experience whether you are an expert archer or just into the Hunger Games.
