You may be wondering what pancakes have to do with taekwondo. Nothing. But when they are made and sold by a Senior Taekwondo Instructor, it has everything to do with our taekwondo family.
Alice Ong, who is a long time taekwondo instructor of Radin Mas CC and an active volunteer of the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF), has decided to try her hand on entrepreneurship by starting a pancake stall at Amoy Street Food Centre, Level 2, #02-97.
On 20 February, 2017 when Granny’s Pancake was officially opened, many who’s who in taekwondo, including Mr Milan Kwee, STF President, patronized it. Mr Kwee, a lover and mmm … self-proclaimed expert of traditional pancakes, gave two thumbs-up after devouring a couple of them. He uttered: “It is among the best I have tasted. We should recommend them to our members.”
Why not? Hot delicious pancakes handmade by our taekwondo family member. They should be in your ‘must-try’ list. The stall is open from Monday to Friday from 6.30am to 4.00pm.

A few new coaches have approached the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) to have an induction course to be conducted specially for them so that they could qualify for the coach pass as they are unable to attend the Coach Seminar 2017.
After due consideration, the STF has agreed to have a session for them. It will be held on Friday 3 March 2017 at 9.00am at the STF Conference Room.
This course is only open to coaches who are applying for the coach pass for the first time.
The course fee is $60. Registration for the course will close on Monday 27 February 2017. Late payment fee will be applicable after the closing date.
The registration form is available in the Forms folder.

The blank fixtures for the 2017 Nestle Koko Krunch tournament are attached.
All participating clubs are advised to send at least one representative for the briefing and drawing of lots which will be held on Saturday 18 February 2017 from 6.30pm at the STF National Training Centre.
Club officials are reminded that the following is strictly not allowed.
– Employ coaches from other clubs to coach their members during the competition.
– Field their members under other clubs.
Participants will be disqualified if coaches from their clubs are not available to accompany them to the arena. It will not be acceptable to use the excuse that the participant’s coach is at another court as the competition cannot be delayed.
Please bring along a copy of the blank fixtures. All amendments or corrections must be made before the commencement of the draws.
Participating clubs that have not submitted the referees’ names must do so before the commencement of the meeting.
In the past, participants in the National Inter-School Taekwondo Championships are required to obtain the grading cards from their respective clubs for their schools to scan when they register for the competition. This has resulted in a lot of inconvenience for the schools and the participants.
After a review of the procedure, clubs will now collect all the entry forms from their members and verify their grades. This process will make it easier for the schools and at the same time provide safe guard against missing grading cards.
Sending parents with the grading cards and entry forms to STF office is easy but it certainly does not reflect well on the quality of service. Going the extra mile for your members is the taekwondo way.
We encourage all clubs to support their members in their participation. As the saying goes: ‘If you do not take care of your members, other people will.’
