The Republic of Indonesia was a young country recently freed from colonialism when Tan Joe
Hok swept the most prestigious crowns in badminton, including the All England championship in
1959.
Born in Bandung, Tan moved around West Java with his family during the tough times of the late
1930s and early 1940s. Eventually returning to settle in the province’s capital. As a child, he would
watch his mother play badminton in the yard. As an up and coming player in his hometown in
Bandung, he would wake up early every morning, bike to running track and after his work out, make it
back to school before the doors closed. He was one of the most talented players. There were others
with more technically beautiful strokes, and more flair. However, he would size them up before they
met at the court to see how he could overcome them with his fitness and guile.
From the young stand out in his neighborhood, he became champion of Bandung by the age of 15.

the Indonesian open singles and men’s doubles titles in his hometown. He nursed ambition to conquer
