Ki Hardjo Oetomo was arrested and served a sentence of Dutch prison. In addition, the existence of this training center was considered by the Dutch Colonial Government as a means to oppose the colonial government. However, some internal politics occurred between the students of Ki Ageng’s students and the establishment of the Pencak Silat center. Ki Ageng Ngabehi Soerodiwirjo agreed so long as the education center should have a different name. Ki Hardjo Oetomo intended that this martial arts could studied by commoners and members of the Indonesian independence. This intention was motivated by the situation at that time in which Pencak Silat was only taught to those who had a noble status. In 1922, Ki Hadjar Hardjo Oetomo, a practitioner of Setia Hati Pencak Silat arts from Pilangbango, requested permission from Ki Ageng Ngabehi Soerodiwirjo (the founder of the Setia Hati aliran) to establish an training center for Pencak Silat.
