J H Kim Taekwondo Institute - North

After all the overseas excitement, it was back to Singapore for the Singapore Open Taekwondo Championships 2026! 🥋🇸🇬

The Singapore Open 2026 brought together athletes aged 12 years and above for an exciting showcase of Poomsae and Kyorugi competition.

The Poomsae events featured Individual, Pair, and Team categories in a knockout format, adding another level of excitement as every round counted. In Kyorugi, our athletes battled through three rounds of two minutes, demonstrating resilience, strategy, and fighting spirit against strong opponents. 💪

Beyond the main competition, our athletes also took part in the Virtual Taekwondo Carnival event; continuing to explore this growing discipline. We are equally proud of our dedicated students who volunteered to help manage the Virtual Taekwondo court, once again reflecting our belief that Taekwondo is not just about competing, but also about serving and contributing to the community. 🙏

Congratulations to all our athletes, volunteers, coaches, officials, and organisers for another memorable Singapore Open. We look forward to the next challenge! 🌟

1st Virtual Taekwondo Championships & SEA Virtual Taekwondo Series – Malaysia Leg 🇲🇾🥋

Our team travelled to Malaysia for the 1st Virtual Taekwondo Championships, held alongside the SEA Virtual Taekwondo Series – Malaysia Leg, where six of our athletes took on a highly competitive international field. 💪

For some, this was another opportunity to test themselves on the international stage, while for others it was a valuable new experience. Every match was an opportunity to learn, improve, and grow.

Beyond competing, Team J H Kim also continued to support the development of Virtual Taekwondo, contributing both on and off the competition arena as we work together to grow this exciting new discipline.

Congratulations to all our athletes for representing Team J H Kim with courage, discipline, and sportsmanship. We look forward to the next stop on the SEA Virtual Taekwondo Series! 🌟

TIRAK Taekwondo International Championship 2026 & VTKD SEA Series - Thailand Leg 🇹🇭🥋🔥

Our athletes competed across Poomsae, Kyorugi, and Virtual Taekwondo, gaining valuable experience against strong competitors from Thailand and the region. For many of our students, this was their first overseas championship, and we are proud of the courage, determination, and sportsmanship they displayed throughout the event. 💪

Beyond competing, Team J H Kim also played a role in supporting and managing the Virtual Taekwondo competition — reflecting our belief that Taekwondo is not just about participation and achievement, but also about service, leadership, and giving back to the community that helps our sport grow. 🙏

A special congratulations to Master Lai Han Seng, who achieved two Gold Medals in Poomsae, including the Pair Poomsae event with Ms Joanne Teo. 🥇🥇

Congratulations to all athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, and organisers for a successful championship. We look forward to the next event and the opportunities and challenges it will bring. 🌟

National School Games 2026 — Kyorugi 🥋🔥

Held on 11–13 May 2026, the Kyorugi events brought together many strong Primary and Secondary School athletes from across Singapore for three intense days of competition. 💪

With the body-kick-only competition format adding an extra tactical challenge, our athletes had to adapt quickly while maintaining control, speed, and fighting spirit throughout their matches — especially with any kick or hand technique to the face resulting in immediate disqualification. Moreover, for a number of our students, this was also their very first NSG Kyorugi experience, and they stepped onto the competition floor with courage and determination, delivering performances to be proud of. 👏

Congratulations as well to Team SJI, whose overall placings — based on the combined results of both Poomsae and Kyorugi — reflected the tremendous effort put in throughout the season. The team maintained their 3rd Overall Placing in the C Division for the 2nd consecutive year, and achieved a historic 4th Overall Placing in the B Division. 🏆🌟

Well done to all athletes for your hard work, perseverance, and sportsmanship throughout the NSG season.

National School Games 2026 — A Division Poomsae 🥋🔥

Held on 8 May 2026, our A Division athletes delivered strong performances after months of hard work, preparation, and consistent training. Their composure, teamwork, and determination were clearly reflected on the competition floor. 💪

Beyond Team J H Kim, we are also proud of Team HCI, whom Ms Joanne — supported by Master Lai — has been coaching three times a week in the lead-up to the National School Games. HCI once again demonstrated their strength in Poomsae, retaining both the Boys’ and Girls’ Division Championship titles for the 8th consecutive year. 🏆🏆

Congratulations to all athletes for representing your schools and teams with discipline, perseverance, and spirit. Our team will next be travelling to Thailand for another exciting experience. 🌟

National School Games 2026 — Secondary School Poomsae 🥋🔥

Held on 6–7 May 2026, our students from the B and C Division Poomsae events delivered strong performances both individually and in the team categories. Beyond Team J H Kim, we are also proud of Team SJI, whom Master Lai has been coaching three times a week in the lead-up to the National School Games. 💪

The hard work, discipline, and consistency shown by the students throughout the season were clearly reflected on the competition floor. Well done to all students for representing your schools and teams with courage, perseverance, and spirit. 🌟

National School Games 2026 — Primary School Poomsae 🥋🔥

Held on 4–5 May 2026, our Primary School students stepped onto the NSG stage once again, showing courage, focus, and determination despite their young age.

With large and highly competitive categories, our students rose to the challenge and delivered outstanding performances — giving their best for themselves, their schools, and their teammates. 💪

Beyond the results, NSG continues to be an important platform for growth, resilience, and learning through competition.

A big thank you to the organisers, referees, volunteers, parents, and supporters who helped make the event possible. 🙏

Congratulations to all our students — let’s continue to work hard as the NSG season continues! 🌟
