Enjoyable International Exchanges

Players from four clubs – two from Malaysia and two from Indonesia – congregated at the National Training Centre (NTC)on 24 November 2013 for the first ever international club exchanges in Singapore. Singapore was represented by members from several local clubs.

The exchanges were fast and furious with many of the young players showing great potential for the future. For those who lacked skills, they made up with lots of guts and gusto. The spectators comprising parents and supporters were vociferous landing their voices to urge the players to give of their best.

The event was indeed memorable for all the participants. After all, winning was not in their mind. It was about having fun and learning from each other.   At the end of the day all participants won as they left the NTC with new friends and loads of new experiences.

All candidates who have attended the workshop are reminded to submit a copy of the certificate of participation with their grading applications.

The Poomsae Referee Refresher Seminar will be held on Sunday 24 November 2013 from 9.00am to 1pm at the STF National Training Centre.

This is a reminder to all qualified poomsae referees (active or inactive) to attend the seminar if they wish to continue officiating.


Clubs, which participate in poomsae competitions, will do well to have qualified poomsae referees in their teams for three reasons – they can compete in the names of their clubs, they do not have to depend on other clubs for referees, and they can capitalize on the expertise for their referees to prepare their players better.


As the Singapore Taekwondo Federation is planning to introduce creative poomsae next year, the seminar will cover both standard and creative poomsae rules.


The dress code is ‘dobok’.


Participants are required to bring their own writing materials and be prepared for the tests which will comprise the following.

  • Recitation of STF pledge
  • Theory – Error Identification and Presentation Evaluation
  • Practical – Poomsae Performance (One poomsae selected from Sa-Jang to Taebaek)  
    We would advise you to register for the seminar if you have not done so.

Sister Linda Sim Misses a World Medal

Sister Linda Sim Misses a World Medal

Sister Linda Sim, who has a couple of international medals under her belt, was looking forward to increasing her medal collection at the 8th World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships staged from 31 October to 3 November 2013 in Bali, Indonesia. But it was not to be as nerves got the better of her in the final.

After finishing third in the semi-final round to earn for herself a berth in the final, Sister Linda was eager to improve her position for a better medal color. That was a possibility as she scored a high 7.40 points for her first poomsae. At that point, the highest average score was 7.27 points.

Her supporters were optimistic that she would end up on the podium in the competition which attracted the best of the best, including World Champions – some many times over, in every category.

Sister Linda started off well for her second poomsae, which happened to be her favorite. Midway through her performance, she succumbed to a brief mental block which was possibly caused by the tremendous pressure of her wanting to do well.

Whatever it was, it was enough to result in her undoing. She registered a score of 7.04 points. Her average score for the two poomsae was 7.22 missing out on the bronze medal by 0.02.

Said a disappointed Sister Linda: “I did not know what had happened. If I was nervous, I did not feel it. I was going with the flow of the poomsae. And suddenly, I was lost. I was able to recover quickly but unfortunately I was punished for the temporary lapse. Well, that was part and parcel of the game.”

The other two Singapore representatives were Kang Rui Jie and Chelsea Sim. Both of them acquitted themselves well at the competition. Chelsea won a place in the semi-final after beating 16 performers in the individual category but could not go further. She and Kang teamed up to compete in the team event. The Singapore pair cleared the preliminary stage. In the semi-final, they gave of their best but it was not good enough for them to book a place in the final.
