      Check with you, how come STF sparring dun use hands to defend or punch?

      Actually can use hands, in international competition hand block and punching is used quite a lot.
      STF follows the WTF rules so punching can only score if it hits a certain area on the hogu( on the chest ), not like ITF can hit the face.
      If accidentally hit the head or face is DQ, so quite risky for kids to punch as their control and accuracy is not there yet.

      Plus, leg is always longer than hand. More likely to land a kick before you get close enough to land a punch.
      Using hands to defend is a must. It will help you set up a combo-attack.

          See the Olympics:

          Around 28s mark. Scoring a point with a punch.

            Donwan lah, no eye see ler.Last Dec tourney, saw our Nat Jr team pitted against ASEAN country rep, just club level rep not even province rep.Lost quite badly, no chance at all.
            The way I see it, the strategy and techniques were outdated compared to current international standard.
            If our poorer ASEAN neighbors can afford to pay for quality training, why we cannot afford to do it?
            Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam TKD has gone on to world stage and won against other countries.
            Like with many sports in SG, more money and professionalism has to be put in before we can see any results.

              Spot on, esp looking at Thailand Muay Thai kids.

              Hey any competition coming up? I ask DD go cheer. Whoever the opponent, just whack.

                Yes you are right. High chance of getting in UG. Why didn't choose any? Your dd can also \"walk in judo\". Learn how to fend off unwanted physical advances, not much use in rgs though.
                Can I ask, what is “walk in judo”? As in it is a new cca that will take in anyone, so you just have to walk in? Judo is not in the list of CCAs on the school website.
