Please read the following important notes pertaining to the retest.
Taekwondo Peace Corps (TPC) was launched by the World Taekwondo Federation on 5 July 2008 in Suwon, South Korea on July 5, 2008. Since then, taekwondo coaches had been dispatched to various countries annually to promote peace through taekwondo.
To date, Singapore had hosted a total of 4 groups of TPC members over 4 consecutive years.
Last year, one of them, Choi Daeho was in the news when he demonstrated the spirit of taekwondo by giving his slippers to an old lady, on a bus, without any footwear. His kind act was covered in various print and broadcast media.
Daeho proved to be as kind as he was skilful as a coach. In view of his coaching ability, the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) brought him back to guide its elite kyorugi athletes.
This year five members were sent to Singapore. Only two of them – Lee Sung Jae and Jang Hee Jae – would be attached to the national squad as sparring partners for about a month and a half.
All five of them paid a courtesy visit to the STF Secretariat on 7 January 2014. They were briefed on the status of taekwondo in Singapore and were evidently impressed with the large following and the profile of the organization.
The Family Charity Picnic organized by Hyun Taekwondo on Sunday, 19 January 2014 from 12noon to 5.00pm at LaSalle College of Arts has the support of the Singapore Taekwondo Federation.
As it is for a good cause, members are encouraged to attend the event. The participation fee is $5 which will give you the opportunity to win the top lucky draw prize of an air-ticket to Korea.

The Demonstration Tournament held on 29 December at Toa Payoh Sports Hall gave participants the opportunity to
prove that they could jump higher or farther, break more concretes or boards and be more creative and stylish in the multifarious events.
The competition, which was the second in the series, saw many new records broken and many new champions. There were also some champions, including Baek Moo Jin, Kang rui Jie and Song Jeong Ho – who successfully defended their crowns.
What’s more, the tournament also put some lesser known clubs – for example Bristish Club, Top Taekwondo and Ildo Taekwondo – in the limelight. It showed, among other things, that every club had the ability to produce champions and not the preserve of the top clubs.
The tournament results are attached.
The updated list of courses scheduled for the first quarter of 2014 are as follows.
(Courses and dates are subject to changes)
The event to look out for will be the Coach Seminar which will be conducted on Sunday 23 March 2014.
As all tournament coach passes will expire in March 2014, coaches who wish to renew their passes are required to attend the seminar.
Look out for more information which will be released soon.
