The annual National School Taekwondo Championships will kick off with the poomsae and kyorugi competition for international schools on Monday 11 April 2016 at Toa Payoh Sports Hall. After that, the National School Games tournament will commence and the schedule is as follows.
– Primary Divisions (Poomsae ) – Tuesday & Wednesday 12 & 13 April 2016

– A Division (Poomsae) – Friday 22 April 2016
As in all tournaments, referees are required to conduct the competition and help make the event a success. As the Championships are staged on weekdays from 9am to 6pm, it may be difficult for some referees to commit themselves for all the competition days. Therefore, the Singapore Taekwondo Federation would like to know the availability of referees for each day.
If you are officiating in the event, please call any of the Secretariat staff at 63451491 to inform him or her of your availability. Referees who officiated more than 45 hours each in the poomsae or kyorugi tournament will be exempted from the next Referee Refresher Course test and granted a referee grade promotion if you meet all the promotion requirements.
Ky Tu Dang, World Poomsae Champion, paid a courtesy visit to the Singapore Taekwondo Federation office on 29 March 2016. Accompanied by Santos Rivas and Ronnie Liew of J H Kim Taekwondo (Main), he was warmly welcome by the General Manager, Lim Teong Chin. Lim presented him with some souvenirs to commemorate his visit to the office and briefed him on some developments of the organization.
As Mr Milan Kwee, STF President, was not available on that day, Ky Tu sent his best wishes to him. Said Dang, “I look forward to seeing him as it was quite some time since I met him. Never mind, there is always next time.”
Dang was in Singapore as a guest of J H Kim Taekwondo (Main). He shared his extensive knowledge on poomsae with some members of the school who were fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to attend the special session.
