The Sparring Workshop, held on Saturday 18 August 2012 at the National Training Centre, was successfully conducted.  All the participants enjoyed the session and had their confident level increased by a couple of notches. 

Mr Lai Han Seng, a champion in his own right, ran the workshop with the assistance of some national kyorugi squad members including, Jason Tan Junwei (World-ranked player, SEA Games bronze medalist and 10-time national champion). He was delighted with the positive attitude of the participants.

The national squad is now open to all medalists in the national championships or other STF-sanctioned or organized championships – poomsae or kyorugi.

If you are eligible and are interested in carrying Singapore flag in various international championships, you are invited to call Jolene, Theresa or Rosalind at 6345 1491 to register for admission into the squad.

The other criteria:

  • Your entry into the squad must be approved by your instructor. (If you have problems convincing your instructor to allow you to join the club, the STF will try its best to see how it can assist you.
  • You continue to be a paid member of your club.
  • You are prepared to train at least 3 times a week in preparation for the short listing of players for the national team.
  • You accept the code of conduct of squad members.

Affiliates which have potential players may recommend them for admission. The players may not have competed or have lost to the eventual medalists.

All affiliates are urged to encourage their members to join the national squad as it will provide good exposure for their players. They will have ample opportunity to exchange skills with better players and learn from each other.

Supplementary Grading Guidelines

0

Supplementary grading is organized by affiliates. Some affiliates have done a great job while others have much room of improvement. When it is well organized, the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) will not know about it. But when if is badly conducted, the STF will receive lots of adverse feedback.

In order to ensure that supplementary grading is properly held, the following guidelines are to be observed.

  • Ensure that the venue is big enough to accommodate the number of candidates.
  • Prepare convenient holding area for the candidates and their parents and friends.
  • Stagger the time, if necessary, for the candidates to report at the grading venue.
  • Plan the candidates’ movement from reporting to leaving the venue.
  • Provide sufficient information on the arrangement in advance so that the candidates and their parents and friends know what to do and what not to do.
  • Prepare facilities for the grading early – table with table cloth, chair, bell, mats (if required) and markings for candidates’ positions.
  • Ensure assistants (helpers, coordinators and ‘commanders’) are available
  • Remind all participants to be at their best conduct.
  • Gather candidates before the examiner’s arrival.
  • Arrange to welcome the examiner with respect and direct him to a room or place where he can wait with dignity if he is early.
  • Get the candidates to stand at attention to welcome him or her.
  • Bow to the examiner and introduce him or her to the candidates.
  • Take the STF pledge before the start of the grading.
  • Gather the candidates at the end of the grading.
  • Bow to the examiner and see him or her off in a proper manner.

It may not be possible to follow some of the guidelines but the basics must be practiced – for example, suitable venue, good crowd control, and adequate facilities. The examiner must also be given proper respect and recognition.

Two Find Youth Camp Enriching

Girlene Tan and Evonne Ee Feng returned from the 4th World Youth Camp richer in experience. The event held from 19 to 24 July 2012 in Seoul, Korea saw the participants enjoying themselves while training, learning and meeting new friends with common interest in taekwondo.

Said Girlene: “The camp which was mainly based in Muju where the World Taekwondo Park would be located, attracted participants from 34 countries.

“Evonne and I made many friends. It was easy to communicate with those who spoke English and Mandarin. But for those who did not, we exchanged smiles and greetings in their language.

“The kyrougi trainings were conducted by Korean University Professors. They focused on drills and sparring techniques.

“For poomsae trainings, I was overjoyed to be taught by my idol, Master Song Nam-Jeong, a world poomsae champion. We learned breathing and execution techniques which allowed us to move with style and stability.

“Most of all, we were inspired by Sheila Radziewiez who was a guest speaker hailed from Boston. She was born with a rare congenital disorder called TAR (thrombocytopenia absent radius). Despite here disability, she was able to earn her black belt. She shared with the audience her challenges and how she overcame them.”

In a letter of appreciation to the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF), Evonne wrote, among other things: “Thank you for giving me the chance to participate in the Camp. The trip has enlightened me to the vast world of taekwondo and also the various training styles.

“I have learned the importance of humility and will treasure the opportunity given to me by the STF.”

The 5th World Youth Camp will be organized next year by the Taekwondo Promotion Foundation. By then, the Taekwondowon’ in Muju would have taken shape.
