The opening graced by Mr Yong Woo Kwon (Minister, Korean Embassy) saw the guests admiring the ideal training environment. The gymnasium is not only spacious but also well-equipped facilities.

Instead of the colorful mats which most taekwondo members are familiar with, Induk chooses to use mats which deceiving look like parquet flooring. This reflects the innovative and imaginative programs which the club is offering.    

Guests at the opening including Mr Steven Soh (1st Vice-President, STF), Ms Wong Liang Ming (Hon. Secretrary, STF) and Mr Lim Teong Chin (General Manager, STF) were given souvenirs to commemorate the event.


Said Mr Lim: “I like the Club layout and the ambience. It is a fantastic place to set up a taekwondo club. Members will enjoy the facilities and benefit greatly from the high standard of instructions under the supervision of its Chief Instructor, Mr Lee Seung Man.”

The STF extends its best wishes to Induk for its quick growth and success in the promotion of taekwondo in Singapore.

London Academy Black Belt in Singapore

London Academy Black Belt in Singapore

P S Narayana Murthy, a black belt from London Taekwondo Academy, was posted by the company he was working to Singapore for a stint. He contacted the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) to see if he could have some training while he was here.

Arrangement was made for him to train at the National Training Centre (NTC) as it would be convenient for him.

On his first day, the student of Master Usman Dilddar reported for training with some trepidation. He was not sure what to expect but he soon found the warm hospitality extended by the coaches and players to him were simply unbelievable. It made him feel very much like training among friends.

While he had no problem settling in, he found the humid and stifling weather a great challenge.

Mr Lim Teong Chin, General Manager of the STF, who made it possible for Murthy to train at the NTC observed him training one Sunday.

He said: “I am impressed by his passion for the sport and his humility. He is indeed a credit to his family, instructor and club.

“Murthy is always welcome to train in Singapore as he is a member of our taekwondo family.”

On returning to London on 25 June 2010, Murthy wrote: “I really enjoyed my training there and that was a wonderful experience I ever had in my life so far. Wherever I go in the world, whichever federation I visit in my life, I am sure this is one thing I can share about my training and experience in Singapore.”
