Dear Members, Parents, Students and Officials,

Thank you to everyone who attended today’s Training Seminar. The event went extremely well. We covered both Poomsae Competitions and Kyorugi (Sparring) Competitions, and we hope all participants gained new knowledge, valuable experience, and meaningful takeaways from the day.

To our very supportive parents, we truly appreciate the 5–6 hours you dedicated to your children. To our coaches and officials, your time and commitment mean a great deal to us. Your support is always deeply appreciated.

As the host, we would also like to express our sincere thanks to all our officials who worked tirelessly throughout the day. Without your help, we would not have been able to run this event so smoothly.

A big well done to all participants — we hope you enjoyed today’s seminar.
Many congratulations to all medalists.

We look forward to seeing you again next year with even more energy. We will continue to improve and aim to make this event even better every year.

A special thank‑you to:
*Ocean Taekwondo and team, GEM Taekwondo and team, and Fighting Spirit Taekwondo and team.

Have a wonderful day.
