5 Bronze Medals at Vietnam Tourney

0

14 teams from 7 countries competed for honours in the 4th LG Vietnam Taekwondo Open 2005. The tournament staged from 20 to 25 July 2005 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam brought out the best in all contestants.

Our players justified their participation in the competition with creditable performances. Although they returned with 5 bronze medals, they did us proud with their strong fighting spirit in a highly competitive tournament

The medals came from Khor Huat Peng, Poh Tze Chap, Lanetar Quek, Joyce Lim and Dawn Ang.

Ananurmelati, who was not among our medallists, deserved special mention. At 16 years old, she showed tremendous courage to give her Australian opponent, a prospective candidate for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, a hard time. She lost on superiority after recording a 9 – 9 draw.

Said Team Manager Tan Cheng Hui; “I am pleased with the performances of our players. They did their best and that was good enough for me.”

Grading Fees Revision

0

It has been almost ten years since we last revised the grading fees.

Although it is justifiable for us to do so, we have resisted mainly because of the poor economic situations at the various periods. After biting the bullet for many years, we have decided to review the fees as we felt that the time is right.

Moreover, it is necessary for us to look into the interest of our coaches and the need to meet the rising costs of administration, operations and programmes of the Federation.

The Managerment Committee, in its meeting on 11 October 2005, decided unanimously on the following grading fee structure whuch will be effective from the 2nd quarter grading in April 2006.

 Grades 10 to 2 $25.00
 Grade 1$100.00
 1st Dan$150.00
 2nd Dan$200.00 
 3rd Dan$250.00 
 4th Dan$300.00 
 5th Dan$350.00 
 6th Dan$400.00
