Currently, Grade 1 (senior) and higher and 1st poom and higher candidates are centrally graded on Saturday under a panel of three examiners while Grade 1 (junior) – that is those going for poom belt – are graded together with the other colour belts.

With effect from January 2008 grading, all grade 1 candidates (junior) are also required to be centrally graded under a panel of three examiners. This is necessary because the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) wants to ensure a more consistent standard for 1st poom.

For more information, please check with the Secretariat at 63451491.

The hard work of the Lady Committee under the leadership of Ms Goh Hong Wee resulted in the successful organisation of the lady self-defence workshop on 19 August 2007.

The hard work of the Lady Committee under the leadership of Ms Goh Hong Wee resulted in the successful organisation of the lady self-defence workshop on 19 August 2007.

The participants had great fun learning the various self-defence skills.  Most of all, they enjoyed interacting with one another. 

Said Ms Goh: “I am glad that the event turned out well.  Thanks to Chrissie Liew, 1st Vice-Chairman of the Lady Committee, and Girlene Tan, the Secretary, for their relentless effort in putting the event together.

“I would also like to record my special thanks to Brian Peh, Chief Instructor of Zen TKD, who not only conducted the workshop proficiently but also contributed a lucky draw prize.”

Yes, some participants went home with more than the ability to defend themselves.  They left with lucky draw prizes and a few additional calories from the refreshment provided after the session.

Family Bonding Through Taekwondo

Family Bonding Through Taekwondo

About 10,000 participants were promoted in the quarterly centralized grading held on 6 and 7 October 2007 at Toa Payoh Sports Hall. Many thousands more will be upgraded through the supplementary grading conducted at various centres by examiners assigned by the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF).

The grading is like a family carnival. Children participating in the grading are supported by their parents and grandparents. There were also plenty of photograph-taking opportunities for the family album.

One interesting fact of the grading is the increase in the number of families taking the test. This is not only good for the sport but also the families.

PM Lee Knows Taekwondo

Doing his rounds to the various pavilions set up at the Singapore Botanic Gardens on 22 September 2007, PM Lee Hsien Loong instantly recognised the one by the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF). When he spotted it, he exclaimed: “Taekwondo! Taekwondo!”

The event: The launching of the National Healthy Lifestyle Campaign 2007. And PM Lee was there as the guest of honour.

PM Lee not only showed that he could identify the uniform with the sport but also demonstrated his understanding of the sport etiquette.

When he approached the pavilion, STF President Milan Kwee led a group of demonstrators in extending their greeting and respect to PM Lee by bowing to him. PM Lee promptly stood at attention and returned the courtesy.

After speaking briefly with Mr Kwee, PM Lee obliged the members with a group picture.

The Management Committee of the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF), in its recent meeting, approved the application of the Singapore Association for the Deaf for four (4) of its clients to be granted exemption from paying the grading fees.

Although it is a small contribution, it is part of a larger objective of the STF to play a more active role in helping taekwondo students with special needs.

Currently, the STF is running a special taekwondo programme at the Assisi Hospice. The programme at the Singapore Association for the Deaf is conducted by Brian Peh, an instructor of Zen TKD (an STF affiliate).

While the Assisi programme is known internationally among the Children’s Hospice community, the taekwondo exponents at the Singapore Association hope to make their mark in the Deaflympic Games in Taipei in 2009.

The STF wishes them the best and is honoured to be given the opportunity to share its expertise and resources with the community.
