Brandon Low Soars High

Brandon Low, youngest member of the Singapore team, soared high by winning 2 gold medals in the 1st Kimunyong Cup International Open Taekwondo Championships which were held from 28 October 2017 to 1 November 2017 in Seoul, Korea.

After coming back empty-handed from the Chuncheon Korea Open International Taekwondo Championships in July 2017, Brandon continued to work conscientiously to sharpen his movements and on areas that needed improvement.

His hard work paid off when his beat opponents from Korea, Mongolia, Philippines, Malaysia, Russia and India to win gold in the Recognized Poomsae and Music Poomsae events.

Said Brandon, “I am grateful to the STF for giving me this opportunity to compete in the tournament.  I still have a lot to learn and I need to work further on my kicks.”

The team, led by Mr Tan Cheng Hui, also achieved excellent results by winning another 4 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze medals in addition to the 2 gold medals won by Brandon.

The medals were won by the following team members.
