The hard work of the Lady Committee under the leadership of Ms Goh Hong Wee resulted in the successful organisation of the lady self-defence workshop on 19 August 2007.

The participants had great fun learning the various self-defence skills.  Most of all, they enjoyed interacting with one another. 

Said Ms Goh: “I am glad that the event turned out well.  Thanks to Chrissie Liew, 1st Vice-Chairman of the Lady Committee, and Girlene Tan, the Secretary, for their relentless effort in putting the event together.

“I would also like to record my special thanks to Brian Peh, Chief Instructor of Zen TKD, who not only conducted the workshop proficiently but also contributed a lucky draw prize.”

Yes, some participants went home with more than the ability to defend themselves.  They left with lucky draw prizes and a few additional calories from the refreshment provided after the session.

Family Bonding Through Taekwondo

Family Bonding Through Taekwondo

About 10,000 participants were promoted in the quarterly centralized grading held on 6 and 7 October 2007 at Toa Payoh Sports Hall. Many thousands more will be upgraded through the supplementary grading conducted at various centres by examiners assigned by the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF).

The grading is like a family carnival. Children participating in the grading are supported by their parents and grandparents. There were also plenty of photograph-taking opportunities for the family album.

One interesting fact of the grading is the increase in the number of families taking the test. This is not only good for the sport but also the families.

PM Lee Knows Taekwondo

Doing his rounds to the various pavilions set up at the Singapore Botanic Gardens on 22 September 2007, PM Lee Hsien Loong instantly recognised the one by the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF). When he spotted it, he exclaimed: “Taekwondo! Taekwondo!”

The event: The launching of the National Healthy Lifestyle Campaign 2007. And PM Lee was there as the guest of honour.

PM Lee not only showed that he could identify the uniform with the sport but also demonstrated his understanding of the sport etiquette.

When he approached the pavilion, STF President Milan Kwee led a group of demonstrators in extending their greeting and respect to PM Lee by bowing to him. PM Lee promptly stood at attention and returned the courtesy.

After speaking briefly with Mr Kwee, PM Lee obliged the members with a group picture.

The Management Committee of the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF), in its recent meeting, approved the application of the Singapore Association for the Deaf for four (4) of its clients to be granted exemption from paying the grading fees.

Although it is a small contribution, it is part of a larger objective of the STF to play a more active role in helping taekwondo students with special needs.

Currently, the STF is running a special taekwondo programme at the Assisi Hospice. The programme at the Singapore Association for the Deaf is conducted by Brian Peh, an instructor of Zen TKD (an STF affiliate).

While the Assisi programme is known internationally among the Children’s Hospice community, the taekwondo exponents at the Singapore Association hope to make their mark in the Deaflympic Games in Taipei in 2009.

The STF wishes them the best and is honoured to be given the opportunity to share its expertise and resources with the community.

Making It Easier for the Examiners

Nineteen (19) participants in the Grading Preparation Workshop held on 16 September 2007 went home feeling more confident taking their coming grading.

Why not? They were clear about the examiners’ expectations and assessments.

What’s more, they were given a chance to perform in front of examiners who would be assessing them.

The senior examiners – Chin Khee Shin, Steven Soh and R Jeyaraman – gave their individual comments on areas the candidates were required to improve to increase their chances of passing. Other examiners were also on hand to give the participants more attention. With the presence of Tan Cheng Hui, Tan Kok Heng, Wong Liang Ming and Lim Teong Chin, the ratio of instructor to students worked out to be almost 1:2.

The practical session was preceded by a talk which covers, among other things, the candidates’ responsibilities and instructors’ obligations. The candidates also learned that instructors, by fulfilling their obligations, could make a significant difference in their students’ performances at the grading.


Said R Jeyaraman: “I believe that the workshop is beneficial to the participants. It will also make it easier for us to pass them if they deliver what we expect of them.”

Taekwondo Warriors Wow World Congress Participants

Participants of the 18th Children’s Hospice International World Congress were awestruck by the breathtaking performances of the taekwondo warriors from Assisi Hospice.

The warriors demonstrated on 7 September 2007 at Pan Pacific Hotel during the dinner held for the participants. They showed off their skills, strength and spirit and earned the thunderous applause from the spectators.

While all the performers were clearly well ahead in skills for their grades, Diniy outshone the rest in the display of awesome power. Despite his puny frame, he broke boards with both foot and hand techniques. He was pure ‘dynamite’ in his taekwondo uniform.

If there was an award for fighting spirit, Wei Hao would have won hands down. His legs were weak but not his spirit. He showed what he could do with four assailants. Although he took a fall in the process of defending himself, he did not grimace or cringe. Like a true warrior, he went on ‘fighting’ much to the delight of the crowd.

Once again, the taekwondo warriors had done Assisi Hospice and STF proud!

Important Tournament Matters

After reading these announcements, the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) urges all affiliates to plan their coach and equipment requirements for next year’s competitions.

Tournament Coach Passes

The Management Committee reviewed the current way of issuing event coach passes and found that it was not efficient and effective.

It has decided to issue tournament coach passes instead. The passes are classified as follows.

Tournament Coach Pass (Special)
Tournament Coach Pass (Kyorugi)
Tournament Coach Pass (Poomsae)
Coaches who hold at least a taekwondo coaching (level 1) certificate and a poomsae coach certificate will be eligible for the tournament coach pass (special). Those who have only the taekwondo coaching certification or NCAP technical certification will be eligible for the tournament coach pass (kyorugi) only. The tournament coach pass (poomsae) will be for those who have only the poomsae coach qualification.

The passes are valid for three years and must be worn by coaches involved in any tournament organized or sanctioned by the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF).

Qualified coaches who wish to apply for the passes must attend a briefing which will be conducted on Saturday 27 October 2007 from 5.00pm to 7.00pm at the National Training Centre. Please call Jolene or Theresa at 63451491 during office hours to register your interest in participating in the briefing.

STF members who obtain their coaching qualification later will be issued the passes on successful completion of their courses.

Head Gear and Body Protectors

For future championships, the STF will not loan out any more head and body protective equipment. Affiliates are advised to make their own arrangement to obtain the approved equipment.
