The President and Management Committee of the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) cordially invite all members of the various committees – for example grading committee, tournament committee, etc, club leaders, instructors and volunteers for a Chinese New Year Gathering which will be held on Friday 20 January 2011 at 7.00pm at the National Training Centre.

It will be a simple gathering which provides participants the opportunity to let their hair down, network and have fun. Food and soft drinks will be served.

If you are attending the event, please inform any of the Secretariat staff – Jolene, Theresa or Rosalind – by telephone (6345 1491) or email (stf@singapore.com). Chairmen of the various committees may co-ordinate with their members and informed the office the number from their committee coming.

Please do not just turn up. If you do, there will be insufficient food and drinks to go around. This would not be fair for those who have the courtesy to inform the organizer of their attendance.

The STF will only cater for those who inform the office that they will be attending so that there will be no wastage. Your co-operation is appreciated.

Have a great Lunar New Year!

Reminder on Kukkiwon Certification

The following article, posted on STF website on 2 June 2010 under ‘Local News’, serves as a reminder for those who are interested to apply for international certification.

KUKKIWON CERTIFICATION

Date 2010/6/2 22:50:00 | Topic: Local News

In response to numerous queries, the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) would like to clarify on its Kukkiwon certification position.

The STF encourages all its poom and black belt holders, especially those who wish to participate in international competitions and seminars, to apply for Kukkiwon certification.

Those who are interested to apply for Kukkiwon certification should apply through their respective clubs.  The current rates including administrative fees are as follows.

  • 1st danS$125.00
  • 2nd danS$160.00
  • 3rd danS$210.00
  • 4th danS$265.00
  • 5th danS$525.00
  • 6th danS$615.00
  • 7th dan S$790.00

All qualified members of STF-affiliated clubs should apply for the certification immediately after the announcement of their grading results so that they will not lose out in their Kukkiwon ranking seniority.

For example if you obtain your 1st dan in January 2009 and 2nd dan in January 2010, you cannot apply for 2nd dan Kukkiwon in 2010 if you do not have a 1st dan Kukkiwon.  In that case, you have to apply for your 1st dan in January 2010 and wait for January 2011 before you can apply for the next grade.  That means you will be 1 year, in term of Kukkiwon grade, behind your contemporaries who had applied.

Kukkiwon certificates issued through the STF bear the signatures of both the Kukkiwon President and STF President.  Kukkiwon certificates without the signature of the STF President are not recognized by the STF.  And holders of such certificates will not receive the support and/or recommendation of STF for participation at competitions, courses and other activities organized or sanctioned by the following organizations:

  • International Olympic Committee
  • Asian Olympic Council
  • World Taekwondo Federation
  • Asian Taekwondo Union
  • Asean Taekwondo Federation

Please check with Jolene, Theresa or Rosalind at 63451491 if you require clarifications on the conversion process.

The event, the third in the series of Taekwondo Spectacular, attracted more than a thousand spectators comprising taekwondo and non-taekwondo members. It was graced by Dr Lily Neo, MP for Tanjong Pagar GRC as the Guest of Honor, Mr Oh Joon, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea and Mr Kris Wiluan, President of Asean Taekwondo Federation.

Following Jhoon Rhee’s inspiring talk, more than 200 children (Acme TKD – 58, Shota – 32, St Teresa TKD – 30, J H Kim TKD – 25, Induk Academy – 22, Anglican TKD – 14, Akirax – 10, Springfield Sec Sch – 10 and Dragonix TKD – 9) gave a mass performance of taekwondo poomsae, a set of basic defensive and attacking movements.

The national demonstration team took over from the young performers. And they demonstrated the skills honed over the years and drew applause from the appreciative crowd. Their flashy stunts were indeed a visual treat for the spectators.

Not to be outdone, the World Taekwondo Federation Team showed why they were among the world’s top taekwondo performers. Their breathtaking aerial moves simply defied gravity, aptly ended the show and left the crowd wanting more.
