29 taekwondo students accompanied by 2 teachers and 2 Singapore Taekwondo Federation coaches embarked on a 6-day learning journey to Seoul, Korea, during the September school holidays. The objectives of the learning journey were to
offer a differential training experience to the team by training with the local Sports Schoolso as to increase students’ interest and enhance their skills in the sport,
improve in the level of coaching for the teachers-in-charge and coaches by observing and studying the good practices and the structures of the local school’s training programs and
develop team bonding and camaraderie spirit among the students through the trip and provide opportunities for them to learn to be independent
During the trip, the group visited 2 schools, Seoul Physical EducationMiddle School and Seoul Sports University, for a campus tour and also to find out about their sports training program. These 2 schools hold a high prestige in sports in Seouland we were awed by the incredible Olympic-standard sports facilities that their students got to train in.
The students also had the opportunity to train with a taekwondo expert, Master Park, from Kukkiwon. His lesson was fun, interesting and packed with different combinations of kicks and punches. He also educated the students on values that they could learn through hard training and that there was “no sweat, no pain”. It meant that he respected every individual who came to learn from him, and in return, they had to respect him by giving their best in their training. At the end of the session, the students received a certificate from Kukkiwon for their participation in the training.
On Days 4 and 5, the group went back to Seoul Physical Education Middle Education for training which was conducted by the black belt students from the school. The training was tough yet interesting as our students were being introduced to some Kyorugi moves. Also, the black belt experts even pointed out that our young athletes needed to improve on their basics before they could do the complicated moves. This served as a good lesson to our students as they became more aware of the hard work and discipline that they needed to put in to perform better.
Overall, the trip had met its objectives and the students and their teachers and coaches really bonded as a Taekwondo family!
