SIBU (July 23): The Sibu Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan (TSDMDK) Association will be sending seven exponents to compete in the 6th Tang Soo Do Championship in Kuching from July 26-27.
Organised by the Samarahan Tang Soo Do Association, the event aims to provide a platform for participants to showcase their skills and raise their standards in martial arts.
The seven Sibu representatives are Karen Liu, Ng Mei Siang, Dylan Soo, Eileen Soo, Carson Soo, Aaron Wong, and Lai Neng Jie.
In a speech delivered by his representative Derek Kong during the TSDMDK handing-over ceremony yesterday, Sibu MP Oscar Ling highlighted the increasing challenges faced by youth today.
He said they are growing up fast, but their mental maturity often lags behind the content they are exposed to.
'We need more training programs more than ever to help children regain discipline, regain direction, and rediscover themselves,' he added.
Ling also thanked the instructors, not just for teaching martial arts techniques, but for nurturing the values and character of young practitioners.
He expressed appreciation to parents for encouraging their children to learn martial arts, saying it has 'planted the seeds of hope for their future'.
Ling also expressed hope that the spirit of Tang Soo Do would continue to grow in the community and guide more youth towards the right path in life.
Meanwhile, TSDMDK Sibu president and Grand Master Teng Tiong Kee extended his gratitude to Ling for his financial support.
'Your contribution has significantly bolstered our association's confidence and motivation to move forward,' said Teng. championship Kuching lead Sibu Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan
