Months of drilling, honing, respectable self-discipline and the tireless guidance of the coaches’ made sure that Hwa Chong maintained her venerable standards in the local Taekwondo scene. At the end of the day, amidst overwhelming emotions and a solemn but nonetheless gripping atmosphere, Hwa Chong Taekwondo did not disappoint, clinching the championship title for the A Boys Division and the position of 2nd runners-up for the A Girls!

OVERALL 3RD POSITION

The preliminary rounds saw two contestants taking to the mat each time. It did not matter if they were from the same school. In any case, they served as each other’s benchmark in the heat of the moment as each sought to impress the judges with their best presentations of the category’s pattern.

As the semi finals and finals took the limelight, each finalist stepped up onto the mat, alone. There was to be no turning back as the individual dished out his or her moves with a personal touch of style. Sharpness, accuracy and footing made up a significant portion of the criteria.

Facing stiff competition from strong rivals TJC and JJC, our girls team did not falter and saw their efforts rewarded with commendable achievements.
