3rd Negeri Sembilan Invitational Taekwondo Championship 2014

All the winners show off their medals.

On Saturday the 5th of April 2014, KDU UC competed in the Poomsae event at the 3rd Negeri Sembilan Invitational Taekwondo Championship 2014.

From this event, we have learnt that competing in a tournament is not easy. I placed well overall but I felt that I was not as good as the rest because I was missing out on one fundamental secret. Sir Jacky, from another club explained it to me, calling it the “Secret of Poomsae in Taekwondo.” The secret is training.

NO FEAR - WE KDU BOLEH!!

I never expected myself to win as I felt that all the other players were very strong, well prepared and had trained hard. Because I was given the opportunity to represent KDU University College, my sole mission was to win the challenge. Progressing to the finals was a steep journey, but the will to win and zeal to succeed moved me forward no matter how tired and exhausted I was. I was very focused and determined to move on.
