The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - The two-month taekwondo summer classes have begun, but the registration of participants is still going on all over the country.

 The Philippine Taekwondo Association is the sponsor of the country’s most popular martial art, which is actually an Olympic sport.  The summer classes are being staged in all PTA regional chapters, including Metro Manila.

Those interested to enlist may contact the following regional coordinators:

Region 1 – Loreto Velasquez, cellphone No. 0921-5831636; R2 – Jaime Robianes (0919-3313106), R4 – Mario Frigillana (0919-4120680), R5 – Benjamin Custodio (0921-6857343), R6A – Antonio Lacson (0920-9046383), R6B – Jun Diasnes (0908-3054563), R7 – Tony del Prado (0939-9999777), R8A – Jed Lirios (0907-8293713), R8B – Val Villanueva (0939-1367177), R9 – Emmanuel Flores (0910-6120734), R10A – Vincent Orcales (0916-1980559), R10B – Crisanto Roldan – 0915-1812616), R11 – Jun Te (0922-8216018), R12A – Porferio M.

Those in Metro Manila may contact Philippine Taekwondo Association, tel. Nos. 522-0518, 522-0519, 524-0457 or email:  [email protected]/[email protected].

The taekwondo classes will be held until June 7, 2014.

 The sport is a good training for physical conditioning, alertness and self-protection against all odds.  Knowledge in unarmed defense is much better than acquiring a deadly weapon.  The sport can be mastered through continuous training, determination and perseverance.

 Some of the participants in the summer classes eventually go on to become regular competitors in local and international tournaments since PTA is a member of the World Taekwondo Federation and the Philippine Olympic Committee and recognized by the Philippine Sports Commission.
