13 February 2014 saw a congregation of people who had common interest at the National Training Centre. Their interest was taekwondo. But there was no competition on that day. It was a day for members and their families to let their hair down and have fun.
The event: STF Annual Chinese New Year Party.
Although taekwondo should be furthest from their mind, the participants’ conversation invariably led to topics related to the sport. Mr Milan Kwee, in his welcoming speech, could not help but took the opportunity to congratulate the medal winners in the recently concluded Asian Cities Gold Cup Tournament.
It was not possible not to talk about taekwondo after a scintillating performance coordinated by the Demonstration Chairman, Mr Daniel Kim.
Mr Johnny Ang, the oldest member of TEAMgOLD, was so thrilled by the demonstration that he told everyone who wanted to listen that he was blown away despite having watched many performances in his lifetime.
All the participants enjoyed the evening socializing. The younger ones have a great time playing games organized by senior members of the national squad.
In conjunction with the 3rd Wushu Competition held from 6 to 9 December 2013 at Yishun Secondary School, a mass martial arts exercise was organized on 8 December 2013 at Chong Pang CC.
Taekwondo was featured. Taking the stage to lead more than one thousand non-martial artists, almost exclusively residents of Nee Soon GRC, through their paces was Mr Daniel Kim, STF Demonstration Chairman.
Said Daniel, “I was delighted that the participants enjoyed the moves. They are certainly good learners. While some of them found the movements difficult in the beginning, they proved that they had what it took to master the skills.”
Mr Andrew Foong, the Organizing Chairman of the event thanked the Singapore Taekwondo Federation for its support.
The next grading preparation workshop will be held as follows.
| Date | Saturday 1 March 2014 |
| Time | 5.00pm to 8.00pm |
| Venue | STF National Training Centre Blk 80 Lorong Limau #04-191 Singapore 320080 |

The workshop is open to red (senior and junior), poom and black belt holders.
The primary objective of the workshop is to point out to participants their performance flaws and the areas they should work on from the examiners’ perspective. This will give the candidates a better chance of passing.
During the workshop, participants will be briefed on the grading guidelines and the expectations of the examiners.
Coaches may use the information acquired by their students at the workshop as a basis to guide them for their grading.
All candidates who have attended the workshop are reminded to submit a copy of the certificate of participation with their grading applications.
For red (junior) and 1st poom candidates, a copy of the certificate should be attached to their grading cards. This is necessary for the examiners to give them special consideration, if required.
The registration form is available in the Forms folder.
The NCAP (Level 1) Technical retest results are attached.
Those participants who are successful are required to complete 3 months (twice a week) or 6 months (once a week) of practical coaching attachment. Trainee coaches can have their choice of schools or clubs approved by the STF for their attachment.
Form A must be returned to the STF at least two (2) weeks before they start their coaching attachment. Attachment without prior approval of STF will not be accepted.
Form B is for trainee coaches to record their attendance. It must be counter-signed by their respective club officials.
The two forms are available in the ‘Forms’ folder under the upper left bar on the STF website homepage.
On receipt of the completed Form B, the STF will issue certificates to coaches only after having satisfied that the coaches have fulfilled their obligations.
Practical attachment must be complete within 2 years of the announcement of the results. After that, the results will be considered null and void.
