THE best and brightest taekwondo jins in the academic level take centerstage as the Philippine Taekwondo Association (PTA) on Tuesday announced the staging of the 2022 Smart/MVP Sports Foundation National Inter-School Taekwondo Championships on October 1-2 at the Ayala Malls, Manila Bay, Pasay City.
The competition has two categories — the novice and advanced — with five divisions under each category — seniors, juniors, cadet, grade school and toddler — to be played separately for male and female competitors. It also includes poomsae which is open for colored and blackbelt students for the individual, pair and team events.
Poomsae, which means form, is performed by a systematic time of movement in a consecutive sequence against an imaginary opponent or multiple opponents. It consists of movements using the hands and feet and interconnected techniques like blocking, punching, striking, thrusting and kicking.
About 2,000 students from schools affiliated with the PTA all over the country have confirmed participation in the biggest school-based tournament in the country supported by the Philippine Sports Commission, Philippine Olympics Committee and Milo.
