Edgefield is Simply Outstanding in Taekwondo

0

Going by the incredible progress of taekwondo students at Edgefield Secondary School, we can expect them to give the other athletes vying for honors in next year’s National Inter-School Taekwondo Championships a run for their money.

The school introduced the sport to all students early this year as part of the many innovative initiatives by its principal, Mr Leong Kok Kee. It fielded a few athletes for the national school competition just for exposure. They surprised themselves by winning not only a few medals but also finishing third in one of the categories.

When the day came, they brought pride to their school as they vowed the spectators including special guests, Dr Janil Puthucheary (Advisor, Punggol West Residents’ Committee), Mr Milan Kwee (President, Singapore Taekwondo Federation) and Mrs Daisie Yip (Superintendent, North 3 Cluster). While their kicks were outstanding for their level, their discipline, spirit and teamwork were commendable.

After the performance, the students adjourned to the school hall where they enjoyed a concert put up by some students and teachers. Seven students who received double promotion in the recent grading exercise were recognized for their achievements.

In order to sustain the students’ interest and enhance their standards further, the school would be organizing an inter-class competition before the end of the year.

For the impressive progress of the students, credit must also go to the team of instructors dispatched by Singapore Taekwondo Federation. The team comprises Ng Lee Noi, Simon Ang and Dave Ang.

It is with the deepest sadness that the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) records the recent demise of Ms Wendy Wiluan, the beloved sister of Mr Kris Wiluan, Asean Taekwondo Federation President and STF Patron.

Printing on Uniforms for Competition

0

For taekwondo competitions, clubs are allowed to print their club names on the uniforms. Before doing that, clubs are requested to note the following guidelines.

Club name must be printed in BLACK on the back, below the belt, of the uniform tops. It should not be larger than 28cm x 8cm (uniforms for adults) and 28cm x 5cm (uniforms for children).

The rest of the uniform design should conform to the uniform code.

Basically, the club name should not be ‘louder’ than the STF wordings. Therefore, club name in huge font size or in colors other than black will not be allowed.

Clubs, which find difficulties in understanding the guidelines, are advised to submit their name design and font size to the STF for clearance before printing.

On top of that they renewed their pledge of allegiance to the country. They have shown that taekwondo members are proud Singaporeans too.

A Feast for the Eyes

0

The hard work put in by the national demonstration team preparing for a performance at the launching of the Singapore Youth Olympic Festival on 14 August 2011 was well worth it.

Their scintillating show of acrobatic skills and taekwondo expertise drew resounding applause from the crowd including top sports personages including Mr Ng Ser Miang, Vice-President of the International Olympic Committee and Dr Tan Eng Liang, Vice-President of the Singapore National Olympic Council.

The guest of honor for the event, Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean, was also visibly impressed with the discipline and stunts displayed by the team. He congratulated the performers at the end of the show time and obliged them with a group picture.

To those who were at the event, the taekwondo performances were indeed a feast for the eyes and not for those with weak hearts. The fifteen-minute non-stop action-packed show was thrilling and, of course, at times heart-stopping.

Here are some action shots of the great demonstration for your viewing pleasure.
