Recoletos Taekwondo in Action Again

June 28, 2008 (SSC-R Manila) - The regular training of the taekwondo team of San Sebastian College Recoletos Manila is now underway. Many thanks to the untiring effort of Coach Jec and Coach Roger. The kids are really starting to make their mark in their chosen sport. Most of them are already in the higher belt rank of the sport. The players have proven their skills and won as many medals as they can in the different tournaments that they joined.

In the first San Sebastian Open held in the SSC-R grounds last February of this year, our son Randell collected gold and bronze medals in the sparring and poomsae events respectively. And in the recently concluded New Face of the Year tournament last May 3, 2008 at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum. We take pride to announce the following medalists:

1. Raven Rosie Luna - Silver Medal
2. Daniell Kendrick Africa - Silver Medal
3. David Dean Panotes - Bronze Medal

Another honor was given to the school when these jins collected their medals in their respective category in the All Womens Taekwondo Championship held at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum last June 1, 2008. The medalists were as follows:

1. Raven Rosie Luna - Gold Medal
2. Ma. Beatriz Francesca Paguia - Bronze Medal

These are all because of the training efforts of Head Coach Jec Panotes, Asst. Coach Roger Arroyo and Rey Ngo. Under the training program, the kids undergo extensive individual and group trainings. They start of with a series of warm-ups, stretching and basics, and afterwards sparring training with their team mates. All these in preparation for the upcoming tournaments as we always want our team to excel and be prepared.
