THE future of Philippine taekwondo takes center stage when the annual SMART/MVPSF National New Face of the Year Championships is staged on May 17-18 at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Manila.
The Philippine Taekwondo Association (PTA) is expecting another banner field in the two-day event designed for Kyorugi (free sparring) practitioners – all dreaming to be part of the national team in the near future.
According to PTA, the tournament highlights the progress of the sport in the country apart from giving the newcomers the opportunity to demonstrate their ability in effective techniques and styles.
Fully supported by the Philippine Olympic Committee, Milo and Philippine Sports Commission, the event will have competition in Senior, Junior Cadet, Grade School and Toddler for both male and female. Each category has novice and advance divisions, too.
All affiliated chapters and branches including those in the military service across the country are expected to field their top bets for the bragging rights.
Parents interested in enrolling their children and sports enthusiasts are cordially invited to witness this event. Competition will start at 9 a.m. onwards.
The event is in support of the association’s commitment and endeavor for the development of the sport.
