80 Qualify As National Poomsae Referee

The Singapore Taekwondo Federation had ‘churned’ out its first batch of national poomsae referees.  More than eighty participated in the 1st National Poomsae Referee Course comprising three sessions – one for the senior examiners, one for the examiners and one for the rest. 

While the senior examiners and examiners took their tests on 18 and 25 January, 2007 respectively, the rest took their tests on 3 February.  Eighty participants in all passed.

The tests were preceded by a twelve-hour course held at the National Training Centre.  It was a comprehensive course covering, among other things, the attitude of a poomsae judge, the competition rules and the scoring structure.  

For practical session, the participants spent more than three hours on performance judging.  It was primarily to enhance their ability to spot inaccuracies and provide the final scores quickly.

In the beginning, it was observed that the variance of judgment was quite significant.  After some practices, it became narrower.  The confidence of the participants in passing the correct judgment also grew.

All successful candidates were awarded the National Poomsae Referee qualification.  But their classes would depend on their qualification as a poomsae coach.

Poomsae Course for Blackbelt Holders

The next poomsae coach course will be held on 25 February 2007 from 9.00am to 5pm at the National Training Centre.  It is open to holders of 1st dan and higher.  


The course fee is $50 per participant.

Participants who successfully complete the course will be awarded qualification certificates – either Level 1 or Level 1 (Provisional).

We encourage all blackbelt holders to attend the course if they have not done so as only holders of poomsae coach certificates are allowed to coach at STF-organised or STF-sanctioned championships and participate in the National Poomsae Referee Course.  It will also be to their advantage if they want to compete in poomsae tournaments or go for higher dan gradings.  

Coaches, who do not have the qualification, are advised to attend the course as the new poomsae movements will be implemented from the April 2007 centralised grading.  It will be good if they can upgrade themselves for their students.

The application form is attached and the closing date for submission is Friday 16 February 2007.

The Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) would like to start a database of qualified coaches who are interested in teaching taekwondo either full-time or part-time.  It would serve as a source for the STF to select coaches for clubs or schools who request for their services. One club has sought the assistance of the STF to employ a full-time instructor, aged 24 to 30, with at least a 1st dan blackbelt.  The monthly salary will be from $1250 to $2250 depending on qualification and experience. 

Qualified STF blackbelt holders, who would like to be considered for the position and other future employment opportunity, are requested to complete the attached form and return it to the STF Secretariat by 9 February 2007.

New Training Scheme

The Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) and the Tampines North CC met on 5 October to develop a new scheme for junior players.  It gave birth to the STF-Tampines North Training Scheme.  

The scheme with the primary objective of nurturing young talents available in the Tampines North constituency was launched on 16 December 2006.  It attracted 30 participants.  After four weeks into the scheme, the number increased to 55.  This certainly augurs well for the scheme.

Two sisters, Charlotte and Tessa Tang, were among those selected for the scheme.  They were picked because of their achievements in the recent National Championships and other competitions. 

Their father, Mr Darren Tang, said: “The training is beneficial to not only the participants but also the STF. It allows the organisation to spot the next generation of players.

“I am glad that the scheme is especially for young talents.”

The scheme is still open to any taekwondo exponents who have aspirations to represent Singapore in future.  They must be residents of Tampines GRC and members of clubs affiliated to the STF.

Anyone who qualifies and is interested in joining the scheme may contact Mr Lim Keng Leong, the co-ordinator and coach of the the scheme, at 90288219.

Joy of Teaching

All coaches who are involved in the taekwondo programme at Assisi Hospice have found it touching, rewarding and enriching.  The children display not only enthusiasm but also the true spirit of a fighter.  They certainly deserve to be called taekwondo warriors.

They seem to come alive with taekwondo.  Before the sport was introduced, some of them refused to do any exercises.  A few of them preferred to do nothing.  But when it comes to taekwondo, they do not want to miss it!

Their love for taekwondo is indeed commendable.  The children deserve our respect for their determination and courage to continue training despite feeling very weak.  When they can hardly walk or stand, they train their hand techniques while sitting on a chair.  They have certainly put a lot of other taekwondo exponents to shame for giving all kind of trivial excuses for not training.

The coaches enjoy teaching them and are touched to receive a card, which is reproduced above,  from them.  As the taekwondo programme at the Hospice is sponsored by the STF, the message is for all members of the organization.
