Promotions

0

The following National Referees, who have fulfilled the referee promotion criteria, have been promoted to their respective classes.

Kyorugi

Class 2 to 1

  • Ng Lee Noi

Class 3 to 2

  • Lai Hai Mei

Class 3P to 3

  • Teo Guo Zhi Benny
  • Ong Hui Ping
  • Linda Sim
  • Han Hew Juan

Other applications for promotion (poomsae, kyorugi or both) have been rejected because of insufficient information or inadequate tournament experience.

Please note that one of the current promotion criteria states that a referee will be considered as having officiated in a competition if he completes at least 50% of the tournament hours. The Board of Referees will be reviewing this criterion as it does not recognize the duration, which is less than 50%, officiated by referees.

Those who have applied and were not promoted may apply again if they meet the new requirements.

Dress Code for Participants

0

All Club leaders and coaches are requested to remind their members participating in the activities of the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) to observe the dress or uniform code.

If the dress code is casual, we expect the participants to come in at least collared T-shirt (polo shirt), pants and shoes or track suits and sport shoes or collared T-shirt (polo shirt), track pants and sport shoes.  In short, dress in something decent. 

Therefore, slippers, sandals, round-neck T-shirt, shorts, jeans will not be acceptable. 

If the dress code is ‘dobok’, participants are required to ensure that their uniform conforms to the STF uniform code.

In the recent grading preparation workshop, a few participants failed to observe the STF uniform code.  It has caused difficulties for the participants, their parents and our officials. 

The STF will appreciate the co-operation of club leaders and coaches in ensuring that their members are appropriately attired for STF activities.     

Better Prepared for the Grading

0

57 participants are better prepared for their next grading after attending the Grading Preparation Workshop held on Sunday 11 March 2012 at the National Training Centre. Why not?

There were 11 examiners, 1 national poomsae trainer and 6 national poomsae squad members were in attendance to guide the participants and correct their mistakes.

The session started with an hour theory session covering, among other things, the examiners’ expectations and the interview questions for the April 2012 grading. The participants were informed what they had to do in poomsae, sparring and unarmed combat (for those going for higher poom or dan grading) and guided on the way they should respond to the various questions.

Mr Milan Kwee, STF President, was present to observe the session. He spoke to some of the parents to get some feedback and thank them for their support.

At the end of the session, Mr Sam Tan, one of the course conductors, gave away the certificates to the participants before they gathered for a group picture.
