Hi, anyone has any recommendations for tkd schools in Bukit Timah area? Looking for a place which has Korean instructors.

Bukit Timah quite long stretch, below are some sch with Korean instructors that you can check out

- Johan TKD Institute, Holland and Thomson
- Kyunghee TKD, Upper Bukit Timah
-GaonHae TKD, Balmoral Plaza

Thanks a lot! Do you know if any of these schcools have female instructors? Prefer my daughter to be in a school where there are female instructors.
- Lions TKD, Bukit Timah
- Taeseong TKD , Upper Bukit Timah

Best is arrange for trial classes and see which one suits your kid better.
Also if planning for competition, ask if the schools do participate.

Cheers

Wow! Thanks a lot! Do you have any idea if any of these schools have female instructors? Prefer my daughter to be in a school where there are female instructors as well.

Can Poom Belter register for KUKKIWON Certification? Or need to wait till Black belt conversation?

Yes, they can apply, but has to be through STF.

[quote=DavidFhu post_id=1947466 time=1574292826 user_id=127622]My son just earned his 1st Poom. Now is his journey to 2nd Poom within the next year. A lot of things to learn.

Poomsae:
Koryo
Taeguek Il to Pal-Jang
(2 patterns)



Sparring:
Free (4 rounds with a different blackbelt each round)

Others:
Defence against an unarmed assailant (Unarmed Combat)
(5 techniques)

Hello, just happen to saw this post by chance. I am a Taekwondo coach myself (volunteer) at a community club. Just for your info, for 1st to 2nd poom, the poomsae that your son just have to learn are actually Taeguek Yuk Jang to Koryo... (This is in accordance to STF's grading requirements found on their website)

Only when they take their 3rd Poom would they need to learn from Taegeuk Il Jang to Keum gang (2nd Poom pattern).
Although it is encouraged for them to know all their patterns... I understand from many of my students that it is difficult to learn all of them in a short span of time. Hope this helps and all the best for your son's grading.

Wow, can advise if I am holding black tip years back and wanted to go for black belt, what are the patterns and defence I have to go thru?[/quote]
First of all you will have to know blue belt (Oh-jang) to black tip (Pal-jang). Grading kick will be tornado kick followed by back thrust kick. Sparring will be 3 rounds, timing depends on the examiners on that day. Will be required to memorise and recite STF pledge. After that will be a round of interview, which is open ended for adults / those going for centralised grading. Hope it helps! And goodluck all the best
