The first grading in this year was attended by TaekwonKids and junior belts attempting the test with enthusiasm and confidence. The grading was held by order of smaller belt groups to enable the little ones to perform their pattern and theory test with better concentration. At the end of each graded group, all children were so happy with their performance that they did not even asked if they pass the test. Here is the proof of Tam Taekwon-Do Mudokwan's quality of preparation for their students' promotion.
Congratulations and well done to all who passed. 9th Gup TaekwonKids White belt Yellow-tip Zayne Hage, Ahmad Hawli, Isla Blye, Albert Agsalda, Maeve Suwanto, Yau Zo Choi, Esava Roko, Jad Hamdan, Awn Hamdan, Evan Huang, Zaid Hamdan, Max Peng, Jacky Peng, Harrison Allan, Hussain Ibrahim, Mariam Ibrahim, Sarah Shaik, Sienna Allan, Zaynab Ibrahim, Jonathan Haklane and Daniella Haklane 9th Gup White belt yellow-tip Zaynab Ibrahim, Jonathan Haklane and Daniella Haklane 8th Gup TaekwonKids Yellow belt Kaiden Pham, Paris Youssef, Gracelyn Neville, Matthew Haddad, Tsubasa Uno, Misaki Uno, Nicholas Marcos, Joshua Mears and Eleni Dionisopoulos 8th Gup Yellow belt Amber Bi and Jakub Misar 6th Gup TaekwonKids Green belt jacko Deng, Richard Ni, Dylan Jovcevski, Bianca Bozinovski (probationary), Victoria Adioski (probationary), Elizabeth Le and Jordan Conwell 3rd Gup TaekwonKids Red-tip Austin Chan, Ryan Lee and River Hooper

8th November 2020 is the day our TTM jejanims will remember forever. This is the day they have been aiming, waiting and trained so hard for; their black belt grading. A lot of hours have been put in and the sacrifices made to gain the happy moment for the successful test. All Tam Taekwon-Do jejas know how serious TTM grading is and this encourages them to put more effort and continue to encourage their dojangmates to progress to the next level. It is through this camaraderie that our jejas are known to all martial artist that Tam Taekwon-Do Mudokwan is the best place to train together.
All candidates are fully tested in every aspect of their skill required to pass their grading. We have never ever heard of a single jeja who thought of graded elsewhere since what they have been through here. This tell how happy they are with their training and grading with us.

TTM held a grading on Sunday while many people were still in bed or having breakfast eyes glued to their screen.
The dojang door was opened nice and early for our enthusiastical and well prepared jejas that have one thing in their mind; that is to do their best in their belt grading. The standard of white belt jejas in the 7 years & under, certainly impressed the examiners. We also had 5 years old candidates attempting the colour belt grading in the morning session. Everyone did well and so did the adults that came well prepared. Congratulations to all successful students. The afternoon session was a black belt grading the jejas have been waiting for, however some have prefered to stay in their last black belt which was long overdue. 13th September 1pm marked the day they will remember forever in their life. This is the day they have been aiming, waiting and training so hard for; their black belt grading. Many hours have been put in to train for and sacrifices made to reach this moment and performed successfully on the day. All Tam Taekwon-Do jejas know how serious the TTM grading is, but this has never deterred them. Due to the Covid-19 restriction level limited number of black belt supporters were allowed to attend. They came with full support and gave plenty of encouragement for their dojangmates to progress to the next level. It is through this camaraderie that our jejas are known for, making Tam Taekwon-Do Mudokwan to be recognised as the best place to train together. Thank you to the black belts who helped on the day and well done to all who graded. 9th Gup White belt yellow-tip Kristjian Trajkoski, Paris Youssef, Gracelyn Neville, Matthew Haddad, Reilly Chan, Amber Bi, 8th Gup Yellow belt Ricky Lai, Shiv Patel, Catherine Ni, Eleni Dionisopoulos, Tarah Kaiou, Yi Ithiel Kwong(Probation), Bisnish Adhikari 7th Gup Yellow belt green-tip Richard Ni, Anh Vu Pham, Brandon Kidner 6th Gup Green belt Wendy Song 5th Gup Green belt blue-tip Rianne Chan 1st Dan Black belt Dr Michael Zhu (probation) pending power breaking test on 8-11-2020 2nd Dan Black belt Dr Grace Wee 3rd Dan Black belt Caroline Ting, Boosabum Mark Balfour (probation) pending power breaking test on 8-11-2020 For many people like myself, Taekwon-Do is not so much a hobby, as it is a guiding principle of morality, of self-improvement, and a way of understanding the limits of one’s physical and mental capabilities. It is an artform and a lifestyle that I have dedicated myself to for over 43 years. To honour the 65th year of the naming of Taekwon-Do, like many of my fellow instructors and practitioners of this long enduring art, I would like to reflect on my ITF journey. The globalisation of Taekwon-Do was spearheaded by the late General Choi Hong Hi, and Malaysia happened to be the 2nd country to which he brought the art outside of Korea in 1965 to be introduced to the public. As a young boy, I was inspired by my own father, a professional boxer, to take up martial arts and looked to Taekwon-Do at age 14. At the time, Grand Master Low Koon Lin was the Malaysian pioneer of the art, under the tutelage of General Choi, as well as my first instructor; this made me part of the 2nd generation of students in the lineage of General Choi’s international spread of ITF. Along with GM Low Koon Lin, I was privileged to learn under the coaching of Master Tan Eng Kiat and GM Yeow Ching Wat. Their teaching structure was extremely innovative, with each instructor teaching 3 different aspects of training – sparring, pattern and self-defence. Importantly, they did not forget to instil in their students the true meaning of Taekwon-Do which was the moral culture. With the guidance of these inspirational figures, I accelerated in my learnings and was promoted to assistant instructor 1979 and became instructor in June 1980. I had the privilege of being graded by General Choi himself, for my promotion to 5th Dan in Maroochydore, Queensland before his sad passing. I began participating in tournaments since attaining yellow-tip. My tournament career endured until I was 6th Dan, with a highly successful rate of achievement. The competitors I have had the privilege to fight have come far and wide across the globe. Some of my notable achievements include gold medals in sparring, pattern and power breaking, silver in team sparring in ITF World Championships. As a veteran tournament participant, I also have had great success and was the first person to be awarded the Overall World Champion title in ITF’s 1st Veteran World Championships. I retired from tournaments in 2005 when I was promoted to 7th Dan. On top of partaking in tournaments, I have also coached and trained a number of students to successfully win national and international championships. Among other cherished achievements, I was awarded the prestigious ITF Outstanding Instructor Medal and ITF Order Medal in 2017 and 2018 respectively. My post-tournament life saw myself heavily involved in the expanding and publicising of ITF to the world. With the help and support of ITF officials, I have organised and run national tournaments, with the goal of building friendships, exchanging ideas and promoting the art to the general public. I have also been involved in running seminars as a part of the ITF Technical and Education Committee, to aid the constant progress and evolution of Taekwon-Do. Sasung Tam Fook Chee 22-5-2020 A small group of jejas were fortunate to be graded on this very special day in conjunction with the commemoration of the founding of International Taekwon-Do Federation by Taekwon-Do Founder General Choi Hong Hi. It is also a memorable grading due to the Covid-19 restriction level imposed by the government the day after the grading where all classes were closed until further notice. We look forward to the day we return to dojangs to celebrate the presentation of colour, black belt and international instructor certificates. In the meantime stay home, stay safe, do the right thing and keep training with the pre-recorded home training videos on the Member page. Video grading will be conducted for those that eligible and qualified. So, all jejas are encouraged to be training at home during this unprecedented time. Train Hard Train Smart Congratulations to all jejas who passed the grading. 9th Gup White belt yellow-tip Eleni Dionisopoulos 8th Gup Yellow belt Isaac Lin, Hugo Bergman, Arthur Gray, Frederick Gray, Vu Pham 7th Gup Yellow belt green-tip Evelyn Huynh, Clarke Huynh, Anthony Abouhanna, Wendy Song 5th Gup Green belt blue-tip Camille Lin, Bianka Lee, Kyan Aung, Danny Hu(Probation) 3rd Gup Blue belt red-tip Kaloyan Vasilev, Henry Bergman, Annette Fallon 2nd Gup Red belt Rayden Chan, Jessica Dang 1st Gup Red belt black-tip Zack Fallon |
