The Singapore Taekwondo Federation had received several requests from club officials to reschedule the NCAP (Level 1) Technical Course as they needed the assistance of their black belt helpers for the 4th Daedo Taekwondo Championships.
The new dates for the course are 19 & 20 November 2016 and 3, 4 & 11 December 2016. Please take note of the new timings in the attached course details.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
The World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) had taken the initiative to create the Taekwondo Humanitarian Foundation (THF) to address the global refugee crisis and further promote our sport and its noble values around the world.
The WTF is calling for support of the THF and hope that taekwondo members could take the time to visit the THF website www.thfaid.org and sign their online petition. A guide explaining the different ways to support THF is attached.
They need all the help they can get to spread the word about THF!
The overall results for the following tournaments are attached.
– 2016 PA-STF Taekwondo Championships
– 2016 National Kyorugi (Ambassador Cup)
The Singapore Taekwondo Federation congratulates all its affiliates and their members for their success at the two competitions and wishes to thank all club officials, parents and competitors for their continued support.
“I feel very welcome by the taekwondo community,” said Khadizatol Kubra (Rose) who trains with her three children, Azmain Eusha, 15, Walin Moorsol, 14, and Kimiya Noor, 10, at Spiker Taekwondo Club in Yew Tee.
They joined the club in November 2015 and fell in love with the sport as it provided them the opportunity to achieve their goal of not staying fit but also learning the art of self-defence.
Were they disappointed? Certainly not. Said Azmain: “We not only enjoyed ourselves practising the sport but also appreciated the quality family time we had together.”
On 16 October 2016, they took their promotion test at Ang Mo Kio ITE Central. All of them did well enough to be promoted to Grade 7. But the grade they accomplished was secondary to their revelling in their well-being.
Azmain pointed out that they had felt very close as a family ever since they took up the sport and could see themselves getting fitter.
SEOUL, Korea (October 28, 2016) – The WTF Council Member and Singapore Taekwondo Federation President Milan Kwee has been awarded Seoul honorary citizenships by Seoul Mayor Won Soon Park for his effort in distribution of taekwondo widely.
Seoul honorary citizenship has been awarded since 1958 as a reward and for the friendly relations to non-Koreans who demonstrated their dedication to Seoul in various field and visitors from overseas such as head of countries, first ministers, and diplomatic delegates.
The recipient of Seoul honorary citizenship gets selected among the candidates recommended by the head of embassies, public organizations, social organizations, and by more than 30 Seoul citizens’ signatures. The candidates go through evaluation process, and then need to get the Seoul City council’s approval to become a recipient.
