7 August 2010. Olympic Sports Arena, OCM Indoor Sports Complex. Aaraf Eid Pahamin Armin registered alongside 10 other participants from the DDF Taekwondo Academy to compete in the 2nd Gewinn League Taekwondo Championship.

This was Aaraf's second Taekwondo competition. The first competition that Aaraf compete was during the 5th Koko Crunch Junior Taekwondo championship in April 2010. As we arrived, we met Aaraf's previous opponent Putra Danial. Putra age 11, although very young but was very polite. He came to us and shook our hand. Putra Danial is a good fighter and had won various medals in previous competition. We wish him well for today's competition.

PARTHIPAN LETCHMANON & RAJ KUMAR- A GANGSTER TAEKWONDO COACH: GEWINN 2ND LEAGUE DRAGON TAEKWONDO CHAMPIONSHIP 2010

.
UPDATES: Raj Kumar was actually the aide/friend to the main gangster coach PARTHIPAN LETCHMANON. The main gangster coach was Parthipan Letchmanon, a 3rd Dan Taekwondo Coach and Raj Kumar is a 4th Dan Taekwondo Coach. Pursuant to the gangster-act, a meeting amongst all Taewkondo instructors at their Academy was held and the two gangster was given a first warning and a pardon because both of them claim they were provoked. A Coach armed with martial-art knowledge of that nature is similar to a gun-license holder waving his gun when he is being provoke..  acceptable?

Both of them had extend their apology to Dato Ahmad Fadzil and me but it is not as simple as apologizing after a public humiliation. My verdict: their Coaching license should be revoked for at least 6 months! being a Coach especially to children must portray an example akin of any other public figure.

7 August 2010. OCM Indoor Sports Complex, Gewinn 2nd league Dragon Taekwondo Championship 2010. COACH RAJ KUMAR (picture on the left) had portrayed a despicable behavior that is not just unbecoming of a coach but an embarrassment to the reputable Taekwondo institution & its fraternity.

A Coach or an individual that is involved in the training, guiding and directing sports people should portray a good example especially when he himself is a weapon trained in martial art. The way parent was humiliated by the Gangster-Coach should not be repeated (to anybody) especially when they paid and enrolled (the children) having believed in the Taekwondo institution.
