TAEKWONDO has again reinforced its status as one of the most popular martial arts in the country with a heavy turnout in the ongoing Philippine Taekwondo Association-Smart/MVP Sports Foundation summer classes.
On Tuesday night, PTA’s headquarters inside the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex was packed with kids and teenagers all eager to embrace the most recognized Korean martial art.
PTA’s annual summer activities are supported by the Philippine Sports Commission, Philippine Olympic Committee and Milo.
Taekwondo’s popularity in the country continues to grow because aside from being a superior art of self defense, it also gives practitioners better and sound mind through intensive training.
More importantly, with its regiment of physical conditioning, it helps improve one’s concentration and alertness that’s why the PTA is inviting parents to encourage their children to take up the sport and train under PTA’s seasoned coaches.
An affiliate member of the World Taekwondo Federation, PTA is still accepting enrollees. For inquiries, call 8522-0518/8522-0519 or e-mail at philtkd@gmail.com/philippinetaekwondo@gmail.com.
Summer classes end on June 3.
