Make a Difference


Someone sent this inspiring movie to  me a few days ago. I thought I should share it with all of you too. I was totally transfixed, with tears welling up my eyes as I watched the awesome story unfold…

Watch the movie now: Make a Diffference

Tenby International Secondary Schools


For the first time this semester the secondary boys and girls from the Tenby International Schools commenced their training without the primary students. Before this and for the past 3 years, both the secondary and primary were training together in the school auditorium. It was until recently, when the group got a little too big, and we have more secondary students that could come on Friday, that we decided to split up the group.

The primary remains training on Thursday, and the secondary on Friday. However, they are still given the option to attend either one, most convenient to them.

The Art of Forgiving


Some might consider it strange that I post this article here in a taekwondo blog like this. But the truths therein are so powerful and liberating that I would consider myself thoughtless if  I do not share.


Author Unknown

  1. The most creative power given to the human spirit is the power to heal the wounds of a past it cannot change.
  2. We do our forgiving alone inside our hearts and minds; what happens to the people we forgive depends on them.
  3. The first person to benefit from forgiving is the one who forgives.
  4. Forgiving happens in three stages: we rediscover the humanity of the person who wronged us; we surrender our right to get even; and we wish that person well.
  5. Forgiving is a journey; the deeper the wound, the longer the journey.
  6. Forgiving does not require us to reunite with the person who broke our trust.
  7. We do not forgive because we are supposed to; we forgive when we are ready to be healed.
  8. Waiting for someone to repent before we forgive is to surrender our future to the person who wronged us.
  9. Forgiving is not a way to avoid pain but to heal the pain.
  10. Forgiving someone who breaks a trust does not mean that we give him his job back.
  11. Forgiving is the only way to be fair to ourselves.
  12. Forgivers are not doormats; to forgive a person is not a signal that we are willing to put up with what he or she does.
  13. Forgiving is essential; talking about it is optional.
  14. When we forgive, we set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner we set free is ourselves.
  15. When we forgive we walk in stride with our forgiving God.

Intensive Poomsae Training


A few new faces joined in the poomsae training last Sunday. Muhammad Suhaiyl Hamdi, 11, a red belter, who hails from Shah Alam was one of them. It was really encouraging to see such a young one like him, training with the team with such great determination even though it was his first day.

It was already the 3rd week of intensive training for most of them under the watchful eye of the coach, Mr. Tan Kien Tat. Learning the basic executions the correct way through repetitive drills may seem monotonous to some, but not to them. They are bent on mastering the right moves in all the Taegueks, from 1 to 8, and later the senior patterns as well.

Power Sport Parents Support Team Hi-Tea Party


Submitted by : RAJA RAJESWARY SANDRA BOSE

The PSPST recently organized a hi-tea party for members on 12th of December 2011 at Port Klang Golf Club. And what a way to bade farewell to 2011! The event was attended by almost 50 guests including the Master, Mr. and Mrs. Leong Yong Wah themselves. Organizing chairman , Mr. Kim Dreyer said that the attendance was above expectations as the committee has targeted only 30 guests. The party started at 5.00p.m. and even a heavy downpour did not dampen the spirits of the guests. The children

enjoyed the most as there were many games organized and they even had a great time playing golf at the driving range.

During the party, the committee also discussed about their plans to organize ‘Adopt A Poor Child PER Family” program whereby each parent can sponsor a talented poor child for his/her Taekwondo training program. The idea was met with a tremendous response from the parents where about 12 families agreed for the sponsorship and more to follow.

The party also saw new faces elected to the committee for 2012.

  • Madam President 1st half year: Charmaine
  • Madam President 2nd half year: Vicky
  • Secretary: Rajes
  • T-shirt: Ropathy and Ali
  • Shop: Ms Patma
  • Accountant: Kim

Finally many thanks to those who made PSPST a success in 2011 namely, Kim, Vicky, Charmaine, Leong, Ropathy, Kala, Kumar, Rajes and the cool and talented children who also a played a great part to this committee. Adios 2011 and see you all in 2012!
