Grading Preparation Workshop Well Attended

The grading preparation workshop organized by Bukit Purmei Taekwondo Group on 9 January 2010 at Bukit Batok East Community Club attracted more than 55 participants from 7 clubs. It was conducted by the following examiners – Mr Tan Cheng Hui, Mr Tan Kok Heng and Mr Ng Hwa Ann. They were assisted by Mr Lai Han Seng and Mr Tay Xiong Sheng who are members of the national poomsae training squad.

Said Mr Tan Cheng Hui: “Some of the students required a lot of guidance as they were pretty weak. Their basics were far from desired. It they wanted to pass their grading, they had to practice more.

“I was glad that the participants understood the grading requirements and the examiners’ expectations.”

The participants were also happy because they had a better picture of the grading process and enjoyed the training environment. They had their theory session in an air-conditioned room and practical lessons in an air-conditioned hall. The venue for the workshop was also convenient to them.

Hyun Delivers an Enjoyable Program

Lim Hyun, Principal of Hyun Taekwondo Academy, more than impressed the participants with his demonstration skills at the Demonstration Workshop held on 3 January 2010 at the National Training Centre. He made the program fun with numerous exercises which the participants found enjoyable.

The workshop, which attracted 39 poom belts and blackbelts, saw many difficult moves being simplified to make learning easy. At the end of the workshop, many of the participants could do some of the techniques pretty well.

Said Hyun: “The participants are fast learners. I am really impressed.”

Hyun looked forward to conducting another workshop. He said that, for the next session, he would require more equipment – for example, spring-boards and thicker mats – to allow participants to learn more exciting skills.

Look out for more information on the next workshop.

The Singapore Taekwondo Federation would like to take this opportunity to put on record its appreciation to Hyun for having conducted a successful workshop and contributed to the multifarious activities of the organisation.

Thumbs-Up for STF

The Singapore Elite Youth Taekwondo Championships held on 7 and 8 January 2010 at Suntec International Convention Centre was used by the Singapore Youth Olympic Games Organizing Committee (SYOGOC) to validate the venue and competition plan for taekwondo.

The event organized by the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) Tournament Committee under the leadership of Mr Lee Thiam Poh, who is also the Competition Manger for the Youth Olympic Games taekwondo event, passed with flying colors. The SYOGOC was delighted with the outcome. It was confident that the taekwondo event for the Games would run smoothly come August 2010.

The tournament, featuring STF top youth players, proved to be as exciting as it was entertaining. It was befitting that the competition ended with what had been billed the best match of the championships. In the match, Christopher Lee Jia Zhe took on Muhd Norhalim B. Zahrudin.

Christopher capitalized on his reach advantage to keep his shorter opponent at bay. When Norhalim tried to bridge the gap, Christopher would punish him. But there were lapses in Christopher’s defense. On those occasions, Norhalim would use his guile to slip in a couple of well-placed kicks.

The score went 3 a piece (including 1 point each earned by penalty) in the first round, 4-4 (including 1 point earned by Christopher for Halim’s violation) in the second round and 6-5 (including one point earned by Christohpher through violation) in the final round. The one-point difference was chalked up by Christopher in the dying seconds of the game.

Halim was upset with himself as he would have won the match if he had not accumulated six warnings which were equivalent to 3 points for his opponent. Anyway, it was all in the game.

Medals for the two-day competition were given away by Mr Goh Kee Nguan, SYOGOC CEO, Mr Eric Tan, SYOGOC COO and Mr Milan Kwee, STF President.
