In a letter to Mr Kwee, Dr Choue wrote: “First of all, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to you for your hard work for the development of taekwondo. I firmly believe that your dedication and service to the World Taekwondo Federation will help our organization to grow to befit the whole taekwondo family around the world.
“In this regards, I would like to appoint you as WTF Council Member by the authority vested in the president under article 6.6 of the Statues of the World Taekwondo Federation.”
Mr Kwee, in his letter of acceptance, said: “It is with great honor and pride that I accept the opportunity to serve as a member of your team for another term. I am grateful for your trust and assure you of my effort to support you in the propagation and advancement of the sport we hold so dear to our heart.”

The Poomsae Referee Refresher Seminar has been rescheduled to be held on Sunday 24 November 2013 from 9.00am to 2.00pm. The venue will depend on the response.
The following information, except for the registration period, remains unchanged.
All qualified poomsae referees (active or inactive) should 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.
Please take note of the registration period and course fee.
The registration form is available on STF website form folder.

The Singapore Taekwondo Federation is preparing players for a number of taekwondo championships for the next two years. The tournaments include the following.
We would like to invite players, who aspire to excel in the either of the disciplines of the sport, to join the national squad so that they will stand a better chance of being selected for the numerous competitions.
Training time is flexible – that is, players may arrange with the Korean coach, Mr Choi Daeho, to train any time. However, they have to meet the required training hours for the week through reasonable training schedule. For example, 12 hours of training a day to cover one week’s requirement will be deemed to be unacceptable. At least 3 training sessions over 3 days a week are expected.
If you are interested to join the squad, please call Jolene, Theresa or Rosalind at 6345 1491 to register after you have obtained the blessings from your coach.
Singapore Taekwondo Federation is the Singapore national governing body for taekwondo recognized by Sport Singapore and affiliated to Singapore National Olympic Council.
