All About Taekwondo

[cloud7]

my P1 child started lessons at hyun taekwondo school. gained more confidence from it. also, lots of running, kicking and punching…so she lost a considerable weight for one hour, two times a week schedule.


i think they also have classes for younger kids starting from 3 yrs.

Hi cloud7,


Can share how yr gal learn TKD in Hyun Academy? Where is it located by the way?

[cloud7]

my child took just a month or so lessons (twice a week) from this academy. we love this school as it seems to make learning taekwondo in a fun way. unfortunately, my gal needs to go back to swim class for health reasons so needed to give up taekwondo for now.


the school is at prinsep st., just across lasalle college of the arts.

they have a branch in katong. give them a call. its great if your kid takes an interest. my son has been in JH Kim since he was 4.5 or 5. he will be getting his red belt this month and probably black by mid year. it has done wonders for his fitness and confidence levels.

Can care to share the TKD your child had with JH Kim? I'm trying to put both kid (Age 4 & 7) to learn TKD either in TKD schools or CC. I notice some CC don't accept small age like age 4.

There is a new TKD school at Bukit Timah Plaza and they have children's class from 3 yrs.

It is called \"Kyung Hee Taekwondo\". Credentials for the principal seemed impressive.

Our principal, Master Eom Seoungsoo, has more than 25 years of experience as Taekwondo practitioner in Korea before he came to Singapore. He has a degree in Taekwondo and Physical Education from the prestigious Kyung Hee University in Korea, and holds a Kukkiwon*-certified Black Belt 6th dan in Taekwondo and a Black Belt 2nd Dan in Judo.

Mater Eom represented Kyung Hee University in numerous national and inter-varsity competitions and was a member of the Kyung Hee Demonstration Team. Kyung Hee University is a well-known in South Korea as having one of the oldest and finest Taekwondo departments in the world.

Prior to coming to Singapore, Master Eom ran his own Taekwondo school in Metropolitan Seoul area.

Known as a passionate and patient educator, Master Eom personally overseas all classes.

Seem like the Principal came out from JH kim Taekwondo Institute from the Katong Branch. Can check as follow:

My son goes to Induk at Mountbatten. He likes it there. The teachers are attentive and the premises are new.

word of advice. check with singapore tkd federation if the school(s) you pick are affiliated with them - there have been several cases of kids not being able to grade for official STF/WTF belts because their schools were not members of STF.
