The drive to build a house of champions continues as the Philippine Taekwondo Association (PTA) stages the PTA National Taekwondo Poomsae Championships on Sunday, July 5 at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium
The association, through the able leadership of Grandmaster Sung-Chon Hong, expressed confidence they can discover a new batch of talents from the more than 2,000 taekwondo jins who have confirmed participation in the one-day event.
Competitions will be in Recognized Poomsae and Freestyle Poomsae with Individual, Pair and Team events.
Poomsae, as in the past, has consistently attracted a large following for its well-choreographed patterns of movements – not to mention the practice of taekwondo’s well-respected principles.
Respected club teams, including Central Gymnasium, Meta Taekwondo, and Discovery Pluz are in for an exciting battle with top collegiate squads like Ateneo, Xavier School, UST, UP Diliman, and La Salle.
Also fancied to do well are teams from the Philippine National Police, Armed Forces of the Philippines, Pangasinan, Isabela, Pampanga, Cavite, Laguna, Bacolod, Iloilo, Cebu, Leyte, Cagayan De Oro, Davao, and Gensan.
