Taekwondo Kyung Hee

What is the best age to introduce Taekwondo to your kid ?

My boy started Taekwondo when he was 6 years old.
I personally think 6 to 7 years old is a good starting age.

Why learn Taekwondo ?

Self defense especially during the national service, you won't have a chance to get bullied? Do you dare to bully a BLACK belt Taekwondo man? Think twice.

To keep the body fit and leg's muscle strong? More disciplined? Be more man? More macho? Protect your girl? You name it.

We chose Taekwondo Kyung Hee. No specific reason.

We got 35% discount for 12 months lessons.

Usual price, monthly fee S$160 x 12 months = S$1,920.

With 35% discount, we paid S$1,248.

There are 4 classes (average) per month, hence S$26 per one hour session.

Once they are in GREEN belt, they will have additional one hour session of sparring. That's when they need to put on gears and do sparring.

The objective of sparring is not fighting.

It is to make both you and your partner better. You should be trying to work and flow with one another, while at the same time developing better reaction time and enhancing your skills.

We got the Adidas sparring set for S$330 (after S$20 discount). It is expensive.

You probably can get it cheaper buying at Shopee with different brand. It doesn't have to be Adidas brand.

The additional one hour session of sparring costs S$22.50.

So, one week 2 hours of Taekwondo session will cost you S$26 + 22.50 =S$48.50

S$48.50 x 4 weeks x 12 months = S$2,328

That's about the cost for a year of Taekwondo (when you start sparring), excluding some of the examination fees.

8+ years old boy with GREEN belt. : )

Primary 4 Mathematics: Modeling topic (14x questions from year 2018 SA1/SA2 papers)

Singapore MOE is very proud of their mathematics modeling , which I do not understand why. The modeling can be solved by algebra sometimes. I also heard many good primary school students in mathematics meet difficulties in secondary school as they could not understand the algebra logic. That is very dangerous. I think they probably did too many modeling questions in primary school until their brain cannot switch or comprehend the simple algebra. I teach both concepts to my boy. Don’t worry, it will not confuse them. He is going to finish all 32x test papers of Primary 4 (left 3x more papers). I hand-picked 14x nice modeling questions from the year 2018 SA1/SA2 test questions that he had completed. He got about 70% right. These 14x questions are very good questions for Primary 4 students. If you can get them all correct, your standard is, surely and definitely in the range of 95%-100%. You probably wonder why I only show the modeling questions of Primary 4 but...

Primary 5 Report Card

There is a saying, your Primary 5 "End-of-year Examination" result will be your PSLE results. If that's true, his PSLE Score will be AL 9. That's not good. He will not be able to get into his dream school, Anglo Chinese School (Independent) . Hence, he needs to work smart/hard towards his goal. I set a target for him. AL 6 (P) shall be. Nevertheless, I am pleased to know he was selected again for Higher Chinese class in Primary 6. Good job! Please at least get a "PASS" grade!

Completed Primary School Science

On July 9, 2022, I completed teaching him Primary School Science. I used My Pals series below and I strongly NOT recommend these. It is because they are actually the Science textbook used in his school ! 98% of the contents are the same as his Science textbook. My goodness, what a waste of money! I do love the chapters like, cell , human body systems and electrical systems . Pretty good science chapters covered in the primary school. These two My Pals XTRA Tests series are the best of all for primary school science subject. Definitely, a MUST BUY! You do not need to buy any other science assessment books than these two. In fact, these are the only two science assessment books I bought too. Do not rush to complete the questions. Do it slow and make sure you understand the entire concepts presented in the answer keys, especially the open-ended questions. You must know how to answer the questions with the right keywords too. His next 2 years tasks would be completing the 2 assessment b...
