Singapore Taekwondo Federation Fund-Raising Campaign for Virtual Taekwondo
The Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) is promoting and developing Virtual Taekwondo (VTKD) in Singapore to increase participation in the sport as well as development of the sport pathway. Concurrently this enables people of all ages, diverse backgrounds and ethnicities to participate, compete, volunteer and interact through virtual sports.
Virtual Taekwondo is a technological innovation with athletes engaging in virtual reality battles and fighting against the avatar of their opponents. It is non-contact sparring unlike Kyorugi Taekwondo and promises to be fast paced and exciting for athletes, spectators and online viewers.
The “Singapore 2024 World Taekwondo Virtual Championships” will be held on 16 and 17 November 2024 at Singapore Sports Hub OCBC Arena. Athletes and officials across the globe will be in Singapore together with our aspiring athletes to vie for the inaugural world virtual taekwondo title.
This fund-raising campaign was launched on 16 August 2024 and the STF hopes to raise about $250,000. The funds raised will be utilised for the promotion and development of VTKD and the staging of this international sporting event featuring virtual taekwondo.
Your support and generous contribution will make an enormous difference to this world event and our athletes.
Ever dollar counts and we hope to receive your donation form with the donation before and by 15 Nov 2024. The donation form is attached.
Looking forward to your generosity and goodwill to help us and Singapore to stage the inaugural world first Virtual Taekwondo Championships! Please call us at 6345 1491 if more information is required.
See you at the Singapore 2024 World Taekwondo Virtual Championships!

Team Singapore Virtual Taekwondo Shines at Muju Taekwondowon 2024 International Open Virtual Taekwondo Championships
Team Singapore Virtual Taekwondo delivered a stellar performance at the Muju Taekwondowon 2024 International Open Virtual Taekwondo Championships, under the guidance of Team Managers Mr. Johnny Lim and Mr. Alvin Tan and Trainer Mr. Cullen Ang. The Championships showcases Virtual Taekwondo – a non-combat sport which replicates the movements of Taekwondo as athletes wear a headset and AXIS system to compete in a virtual space, regardless of age or gender.
The first day of the Championships saw Team Singapore Virtual Taekwondo making an impressive debut. The squad, comprising Justin Peh, Ng Tze Shayne, Nigel Tan Wei Reng, Tan Jia Wei, Lim Zi Wei, Janelle Chia, and Daycia Low, competed in both the Individual Male and Female events. The team’s efforts were rewarded with remarkable success. Justin Peh clinched the Gold medal in the Individual Male event, while Tan Jia Wei secured the Gold in the Individual Female event. In addition, Lim Zi Wei and Janelle Chia earned Silver and Bronze medals, respectively, in the Individual Female category.
The second day of the Championships further showcased Team Singapore Virtual Taekwondo’s dominance. Tan Jia Wei once again shone brightly, achieving Gold in the Individual Mixed Category while Lim Zi Wei and Justin Peh added to the medal tally with Silver and Bronze, respectively. With two female athletes and one male athlete on the podium, the mixed category reinforced that Virtual Taekwondo is a sport which is accessible to all irrespective of gender.
The highlight of the Championships came with Team Singapore’s triumph in the Senior Mixed Team event, the team emerged victorious, overcoming the team from Korea to claim the Gold medal. Team Singapore’s exceptional performance at the Muju Taekwondowon 2024 International Open Virtual Taekwondo Championships has set a new benchmark for Virtual Taekwondo. Their impressive medal haul and successful display in both individual and team events highlight the sport’s potential and the dedication of the athletes. The success of Team Singapore Virtual Taekwondo would not be possible without the support from various stakeholders.
STF would like to extend our gratitude to the generosity of the Organising Committee, World Taekwondo, SNOC, SportSG and the Taekwondo fraternity for the endless support. Last but not least, the STF would also like to thank Kwon for sponsoring the athletes’ competition attire for this Championships.
