NEWBIES and summer clinic campers get the feel of excitement and thrill in a competitive setting as the Philippine Taekwondo Association hosts the 2022 Smart/MVP Sports Foundation National New Face of the Year Taekwondo Championships on Oct. 22-23 at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
The event highlights the progress and development of young taekwondo practitioners as they trade styles and techniques against unfamiliar sparring opponents in the two-day competition supported by the Philippine Sports Commission, Philippine Olympic Committee, and Milo.
Just like in any other sports program, taekwondo thrives on the development of the athletes’ drive, skills, confidence and discipline, while elevates human spirit to greater heights of achievements.
As the championships is confined to newcomers, it gives them the right exposure and experience of actual competition.
The championships will be participated in by all affiliated chapters and branches of PTA throughout Metro Manila and nearby provinces, including the military.
About 1,500 participants are participating in “Kyorugi” that features action in the Senior, Junior Cadet, Grade School and Toddler events for both male and female categories, while “Poomsae” is an individual event for colored and blackbelt holders.
The competition will highlight the PTA’s commitment and endeavor for the development of sports, while ultimately help the government’s grass root program.
Action starts at 9 a.m.
