Hi J1s! Welcome to the HCTKD family! Here are some information about our club and stuff to look out for in the upcoming weeks!

1. Training Details
Our official trainings are on Wednesdays [3.30pm-6pm] and Fridays [3.30pm(J2s) / 4pm(J1s)- 6.30pm] at the Area Otuside Auditorium.
In preparation for competition, we will also have training on selected Saturday mornings for the next two months.
We also have optional self-trainings on non-official training days outside the TKD room (located outside Jing Xian Library) whereby juniors can ask the seniors for help in poomsae, kicks (or even schoolwork). :)
You will get to learn Poomsae, various kicks and sparring techniques. (The black belters will get a chance to go for courses conducted by STF such as unarmed combat/ self-defense, poomsae coach/referee course and more.)

Our grandseniors are really nice and come back quite often to guide us, so that's what makes training enjoyable too!


2. Upcoming Events
a. Orientation
Look forward to our J1 Orientation which comprises exciting games spanning over 2 days!

b. Selections

More information would be provided soon.


4. Club Bonding, Others
-Feel free to ask the seniors whenever you have any doubts as we would be more than willing to help you!:)
-Do also take the initiative to acquaint yourselves with your batchmates as soon as possible!
-Discipline is key. Please observe the club rules, such as placing your shoes behind the stone bench during training.
-Lastly, we would really appreciate it if you could help to bring the mats down from the TKD room before training and keep them after training. Thank you very much!
