FUTURE taekwondo fighters are expected to be developed with the nationwide launching of the SMART/MVP Sports Foundation summer program early next month.
Organized by the Philippine Taekwondo Association, the much-awaited martial art classes will be held on April 2 to June 2 in all PTA branches and affiliates in Metro Manila, Regions 1 to 12, CAR, ARMM, CARAGA, PNP and AFP.
No less than former multi-titled international campaigner and now Makati Congressman Monsour del Rosario is endorsing taekwondo hopefuls to sign up, saying a few months they spare in learning the country’s most popular martial art event can improve and develop their personality and skills.
Congressman Del Rosario is one of the most successful products of the program crafted by the PTA, a member of the World Taekwondo Federation and Philippine Olympic Committee and recognized by the Philippine Sorts Commission.
Taekwondo is considered the best training to achieve top physical condition, alertness and self-protection, aside from preparing one for possible participation in international competitions like the Olympics, world championships, Asian Games, Asian championsjips and Southeast Asian Games. Knowledge in this unarmed defense is far better than acquiring a deadly weapon.

The summer program is also supported by PLDT, Meralco, Philippine Sports Commission and Philippine Olympic Committee.
