SL Army promote Taekwondo among Jaffna youth

The Sri Lanka Army with a view to providing more opportunities for the youth in North, are taking measures to set up a Taekwondo Club in Jaffna in the near future.

The Sri Lanka Army introduced Teakwondo to the young generation of Jaffna and a grand show of Teakwondo was organized at the Durayappah stadium to popularize the martial art among the youth and the school students.

Nearly 300 school boys and girls attended the programme organized by the Sri Lanka Army Teakwondo Association with guidance of its chairman and vice chairman of National Taekwondo Association Brigadier B.C. J.A.F. Rodrigo.

After the event, the students attended a one day Teakwondo training session conducted by the Sri Lanka Army and Korean instructors at the same venue.

Players of Sri Lanka Army Teakwondo Association and Korean Teakwondo instructors who volunteered to assist the local organizers to promote this martial art in Sri Lanka exhibited their talents in self defense, power breaking and other techniques of Teakwondo at the Teakwondo show.

Jaffna Security Forces Commander Major General Mahinda Hathurusinghe attended the inauguration ceremony as the Chief Guest while Jaffna Mayoress Mrs. Y. Pathgunarasa, Additional Provincial Director of Education V.T. Selvaratnam and a host of distinguished guests were also present.
