Exciting and Rewarding Workshop

“My boy found the session exciting. It complemented the training he had in his club. I believe the workshop has motivated him to improve on his kicking techniques.” – Amir Gaa.

Amir Gaa is the father of Zachary Gaa who participated in the Sparring Workshop organized by the Singapore Taekwondo Federation on Sunday 27 January 2013. It was conducted by Choi Dae Ho and Jeong Je Young, members of the World Taekwondo Federation Peace Corps.

Jason Tan, Gan Guo Bin and Raja Zulfadli, all national players, were at hand to assist them to ensure that the participants performed the techniques correctly.

The training session provided participants an insight of some of the currently favored sparring techniques and tactics.

Said Edna Cordova: “It was rewarding for me as I learned some new skills. The three hours I spent at the workshop was worth it. It was really fun. Those who did not the session had missed a golden opportunity to update and upgrade themselves. I look forward to the next workshop.”

The workshop attracted almost 50 participants.

The kids from Induk Taekwondo were simply magnificent. They gyrated, punched and kicked their way into the hearts of the spectators at the opening ceremony of the National School Games held on Friday 1 February 2013 at Jurong Sports Hall.

They were selected to represent the Singapore Taekwondo Federation at the event after being spotted for their impressive display at the 2012 National Demonstration Tournament.

Before the kids took the spotlight, Chelsea Sim, Commonwealth Taekwondo Poomsae Champion, kicked off the demonstration with an immaculate performance of Koryo Poomsae. Her awesome high side kicks drew ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ from the crowd.

As if not to be undone, the kids earned for themselves resounding applause every time they displayed some fanciful moves. The star of the group was 9 years old Yeo Shi Zhen. The crowd simply loved her not only for her cuteness but also her skills.

Taekwondo was one of the four sports in the school calendar featured at the ceremony to officially mark the start of the Games.

This is TaekwonDO

Choi Dae Ho, a member of the World Taekwondo Federation Peace Corp, did his parents, his taekwondo organizations and all of us in taekwondo proud when he stoop in front of an old lady and gave her his slippers.

Dae Ho demonstrated the true spirit of taekwondo on his way back after a trip to Sentosa during his break from teaching the Singapore National Squad. He saw the old lady without slippers. Spontaneously, he removed his slippers and offered them to her. As if that was not enough, he went down and wore the slippers for her.

This photo of barefooted Dae Ho was taken by another WTPC member, Miss Kim Jeong Hee, without his knowledge.

It was a gesture which came naturally for him. His taekwondo training in humility and helpfulness certainly had contributed to it!When he got off the bus, he found the pathway too hot for his bare feet.  He had to run all the way back to his hostel.  Nevertheless, he was delighted that he had done a good deed.

Dae Ho, the taekwondo fraternity in Singapore is proud of you!

A recent study reveals that, despite doing well in their poomsae, quite a number of candidates did not make the grade. The reason – they fail their sparring. It is because most of them do not know what the examiners are looking for.

To help candidates pass their grading on their first try, the Singapore Taekwondo Federation is introducing a new sparring course similar in structure to the unarmed combat course.

The sparring course will have three levels – Fundamental, Level 1 and Level 2.

Candidates going for their 1st dan will be exempted from sparring if they have the fundamental certification. Those with Levels 1 and 2 will be exempted from sparring when they go for their 2nd and 3rd dan respectively.

The first fundamental sparring course will be held as follows.

Date                   :    Sunday 17 February 2013

Time                   :    2.30pm to 5.30pm 5.30pm onwards(Test)

Venue                 :    Block 80 Lorong Limau #04-191 Singapore 320080

Fees                   :    On or before Thursday 14 February 2013 – $50.00

                                On the spot registration – $70.00
