Taekwondo Selamatkan Kontingen Indonesia di Ajang World Military Games
28 Okt 2019 Written by HendraCabor taekwondo Indonesia menyelamatkan Indonesia sekaligus menjadi pelipur lara kontingen Indonesia yang ikut serta dalam Olimpiade militer '7th CISM (Conseille International du Sport Militaire) Military World Games 2019' atau Olimpiade Militer Tingkat Dunia ke-7 tahun 2019 yang berlangsung di Wuhan, Cina 17-29 Oktober 2019.
kontingen Indonesia sendiri mengirimkan 44 atlet dari 9 cabor di multi event olimpaide khusus militer yang diikuti oleh 45 negara ini. 9 cabor tersebut adalah yakni anggar, atletik, Layar, Judo, menembak, panahan, terjun payung dan Triathlon. Dari keikutsertaan atlet Indonesia tersebut, seluruh cabor semua gagal meraih medali. Hanya cabor taekwondo yang berhasil meraih medali perunggu atas nama Ibrahim Zarman. Selain Ibrahim, atlet taekwondo yang turun di event ini adalah Glorya Rinni, dan Marstio Embrian. Keduanya juga belum berhasil meraih medali karena kalah dibabak-babak awal. Sukses Ibrahim Zarman meraih medali perunggu yang turun di kategori Kyorugi tidaklah mudah. Diikuti oleh atlet-atlet kelas dunia yang semuanya berperingkat olimpic, Ibrahim bersusah payah menembus hingga semifinal sebelum akhirnya dikalahkan oleh atlet asal Korea. Sebelumnya Ibrahim sukses mengalahkan taekwondoin asal Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Brazil dan Mongolia. Ibrahim Zarman adalah anggota Bintara TNI yang juga atlet nasional Taekwondo Indonesia. Atlet pelatnas andalan Indonesia yang akan dipersiapkan di Sea Games Manila Filipina, Desember mendatang tersebut adalah peraih medali emas Indonesia di SEA Games, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 2017 dua tahun lalu. Atlet asal Riau kelahiran, Pekanbaru, 24 Maret 1997 tersebut turun di nomor Kyorugi (tarung) kelas 63 Kg.
Menurut manajer tim sekaligus pelatih taekwondo Djunaedi Tanjung, secara umum penampilan tim taekwondo Indonesia sebenarnya secara teknis sangat kompetitif bersaing.
“Tidak ada masalah dari segi teknis dai penampilan tim taekwondo Indonesia” Terang Djunaedi Tanjung yang biasa disapa Coki oleh kalangan praktisi taekwondo.
Namun demikian, Djunaedi Tanjung menegaskan bahwa faktor fisik dan mental menjadi catatan penting evaluasi atlet kita. Setelah tim ini kembali ke tanah air, dirinya akan memberikan penjelasan lebih detail terkait evaluasi tim.
“Intinya mereka, para atlet, khususnya dari cabor taekwondo ini memang selain faktor technical skill, mental & psychology training harus dibenahi. Harus ada terobosan yang efektif terkait bagaimana membentuk karakter atlet yang bermental baik, yang memiliki keyakinan dan optimisme menang ketika akan bertanding.”. Ujar Djunaedi Tanjung yang juga merupakan Kabid Binpres Taekwondo Indonesia DKI Jakarta itu.
Dirinya meyakini persoalan mental atlet ini bisa di konstruksi melalui suatu metode kepelatihan yang lebih terukur dan sistematis dengan parameter yang berbasis akademis. Ini penting untuk para atlet pelatnas taekwondo lainnya. Menurutnya, pengalaman di kejuaraan dunia militer ini sangat berharga untuk kita, karena yang tampil di kejuaraan ini adalah sebagian besar atlet dunia, para olimpian yang sudah berpengalaman, termasuk cabor taekwondo yang hampir seluruhnya diisi oleh mereka yang sudah malang melintang di berbagai kejuaraan-kejuaraan dunia taekwondo.
“walaupun kita prihatin terhadap pencapaian hasil di kejuaraan dunia militer ini, namun raihan perunggu Ibrahim Zarman adalah suatu keberhasilan. Ini menunjukkan sebenarnya Ibrahim sudah masuk kategori atlet kelas dunia yang layak tampil di olimpiade.
Sementara itu, ketika dihubungi terkait hasil yang dicapai oleh atlet pelatnas Ibrahim Zarman di kejuaran ini, Ketua Umum Pengurus Besar Taekwondo Indonesia (PBTI) Bapak Letjen TNI (Purn) H, Thamrin Marzuki mengucapkan apresiasi dan ucapan selamat atas kerja keras semua atlet dan seluruh official team yang telah berjuang maksimal di pesta olahraga militer dunia atau world military games ini. Khusus kepada Ibrahim Zarman, Ketua Umum PBTI juga mengucapkan selamat atas keberhasilannya meraih perunggu. Hasil ini menurutnya, selain menjadi catatan postif untuk bahan evaluasi, juga menjadikan hasil ini tolok ukur akan optimisme prediksi medali yang akan diraih oleh timnas taekwondo Indonesia di Sea Games Manila nanti.
SEOUL, Korea (June 26, 2018) – World Taekwondo (WT) announced a major structural change and personnel reshuffle, designed to further strengthen the efficiencies within the Federation.
The overall organisation of the Federation will be re-organised under three departments: Sport & Event Management; Member Relations & Development; and Administration & Finance. New policies will also be implemented alongside the restructure, including strengthening good governance within World Taekwondo.
A new Strategic Planning office has been established which will plan World Taekwondo’s strategic roadmap and oversee the implementation of this roadmap across the Federation’s three departments. It will also oversee compliance across the organization, monitor key deliverables within the three departments, and ensure maximum integration between World Taekwondo’s two offices in Seoul and Lausanne. Jerry Ling from Singapore, who was the former Sport Services Director at the organizing committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018, and had organized the athletics world championships in Daegu 2011, will return to head the Strategic Planning office. Ling was a member of World Taekwondo from November 2004 to February 2009.
The President’s Office will continue to oversee the president’s activities and related administrative matters. It will also coordinate the Federation’s communications functions. Heesoo Noh will serve as chief of staff for this office.
Led by Eilchul Kim, Administration & Finance department will oversee World Taekwondo’s finances, accounting, HR and domestic relations in Korea.
Led by Jay Lee, Sport & Event Management department will manage all taekwondo and para taekwondo related sporting functions. The department will also be responsible for event operations, medical and anti-doping as well as broadcasting.
Member Relations & Development department will coordinate with the Member National Associations (MNAs) and Continental Unions to oversee development, education and sport-for-all programs and activities. It will be led by Jeongkang Seo.
World Taekwondo President Chungwon Choue said:
“We are constantly looking at ways of streamlining our organization to ensure that we are operating as effectively as possible and can provide the best possible service to our athletes, our members and our fans. After undertaking extensive consultation, we are confident that the new structure and reprofiling of roles will best serve the World Taekwondo family going forward. By implementing evaluation criteria and new policies into our systems, we expect to deliver even better outcomes and perform our responsibilities more efficiently.”
The World Taekwondo General Assembly today unanimously approved a series of changes to its Competition Rules as part of its ongoing commitment to ensure taekwondo is as exciting and engaging as possible for its global fan base.
The General Assembly took place in Hammamet, Tunisia ahead of the World Taekwondo Qualification Tournament for the Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic Games and the Hammamet 2018 World Taekwondo Junior Championships. The approved rule changes, devised to increase the intensity of the competition and ensure athlete safety, include:
- The valid turning kick to the trunk protector is now four points and valid turning kick to the head is now five points.
- A gamjeom can now be issued if an athlete has one leg outside of the boundary line and referees will now only wait for five seconds before issuing a gamjeom to athletes who are not engaging in the fight. Using an alternative foot technique will also result in a gamjeom.
- A weigh-in for randomly selected athletes will take place two hours before the competition. Athletes must be within 5% of their body weight category to be approved. This new weigh-in will take place in addition to the universal weigh-in the day before the competition and will protect athletes from dangerously losing weight to fit into the category.
- The Golden Point Round has been renamed Golden Round. Athletes are now required to get two points in the Golden Round to win as opposed to one point under the previous rules.
- In the event there is no winner of the Golden Round, the winner will be declared in the order of: who succeeded in making a body punch, who made the most registered hits, the athlete who won the most rounds in the previous three rounds, and the athlete who got less gamjeoms in the four rounds.
The rule changes will be first implemented at the World Taekwondo Grand Prix Series 1 in Rome on June 1, 2018.
Speaking following the General Assembly, World Taekwondo President Chungwon Choue said:
“Today’s General Assembly was very successful. It is always a pleasure to meet with our Member National Associations (MNAs) from around the world and look back at the great work we have achieved and look forward to the ways we can improve our sport. This year will be focused on development and youth. We will focus on helping our MNAs to grow taekwondo at grassroots level and enhance their elite level athletes. Appealing to youth is a priority as if we do not attract the young generation to practice taekwondo, there will be no future for taekwondo. The rule changes we have approved today are an important step in the constant evolution of taekwondo to make sure it is as appealing as possible.
“I would like to thank our hosts, the Tunisian Taekwondo Federation, the city of Hammamet and the government of Tunisia for their organisation and support. I have no doubt that the Qualification Tournament and World Junior Championships will be fantastic events and showcase Tunisia and Africa’s excellent hosting credentials.”
In addition to the changes to the competition rules, it was approved to change the terms “Full Member” and “Demoted Member” in relation to MNAs to “Level I” and “Level II” members respectively. Level I members have voting rights at the General Assembly and have the right to participate in all official World Taekwondo events. Level I MNAs will be demoted to Level II if they do not fulfil their financial or Championship participation requirements. Level II members shall not have voting rights in official meetings, such as at the General Assembly, but they still retain the right to participate in all official WT events.
During the General Assembly, there was a moment of remembrance for the founding President of World Taekwondo, Dr. Unyong Kim, who passed away on October 3, 2017 at the age of 86.

Iran, Azerbaijan, USA & Chinese Taipei claim gold on day 3 of World Taekwondo Junior Championships
12 Apr 2018 Written by HendraHAMMAMET, Tunisia (April 12, 2018) – Iran today added a fourth gold medal to their haul, whilst Azerbaijan, USA and Chinese Taipei won their first golds in an exhilarating third day of action at the World Taekwondo Junior Championships in Hammamet, Tunisia.
The gold medals were won by Anastasija Zolotic of USA in the junior women’s -52kg, Hamed Asghari Mahiabadi from Iran in the junior men’s -59kg, Chia-Ling Lo of Chinese Taipei in the junior women’s -55kg and Javad Aghayev of Azerbaijan in the junior men’s -63kg.
Today’s results mean that the overall medal table is unchanged as Iran remains in the lead with four gold and two bronze medals overall. South Korea remain in second with two golds and two bronze medals and Russia sit in third with one silver and five bronze medals.
Juniors Women -52kg
The first final of the day saw Anastasija Zolotic of the United States of America and Ozoda Sobirjonova of Uzbekistan fight in the junior female -52kg. The first round exploded into action with Zolotic landing a front kick to the trunk within the first two seconds. However, Sobirjonova responded quickly by landing a front kick to the trunk and then to the head to put her 2-5 up. Zolotic made the scores level once more with an incredible reverse hook kick to the head. The American then began to stamp her authority by landing a series of kicks and ended the round 14-5 up. If possible the second round was even more exciting with both athletes landing a series of kicks on one another, many of which were to the head. But it was Zolotic who took a narrow 24-20 lead into the third round. Zolotic looked to secure the gold medal by landing an early front kick to the trunk. Sobirjonova fought back valiantly by first landing a front kick to the head and then forcing her opponent out of the boundaries on a number of occasions to make the score 27-26. Zolotic looked to have landed the killer blow with a kick to the trunk, but Sobirjonova responded seconds later by kicking her opponent in the trunk and then forcing Zolotic into conceding a gam-jeom. Subsequently, the fight was taken to a golden point round. Both athletes deserved to win the gold in what was probably the most exciting and closely contested final of the tournament so far. However, it was Zolotic who claimed the gold with an emphatic front kick to the head.
The bronze medals were won by Vanessa Beckstein of Germany and Gabriela Briskarova of Slovakia.
Juniors Men -59kg
The junior male -59 final was contested by Hamed Asghari Mahiabadi from Iran and Arslan Demir of Turkey. Mahiabadi took an early 6-0 lead with a series of kicks to the trunk, but was then forced into conceding three gam-jeoms. However, Mahiabadi managed to close out the first round with the score at 9-5. In the second round Mahiabadi extended his lead emphatically by landing a punch and two kicks to the trunk of his opponent. In the third round, Demir tried to fight back courageously, but Mahiabadi was too strong defensively. In the last 30 seconds, Mahiabadi made sure of his gold by landing a combination of kicks to the trunk and head. The fight ended 29-9, with Mahiabadi securing Iran’s fourth gold medal of the tournament. That gold meant Mahiabadi added to his gold he won at the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing 2014.
Young-Jun Lee of Korea and Gabriel Ramos of Brazil claimed the bronze medals.
Juniors Women -55kg
Anastasiia Nosova of Russia and Chia-Ling Lo of Chinese Taipei fought in the junior female -55kg final. Both showed strong defensive work in the opening round, with neither willing to give any early points away. It wasn’t until the second round that the first points were registered by Lo with a side kick to the head. She then followed this up with another impressive kick to the head, only for it to be cancelled out by Nosova. Lo ended the round by landing a front kick to the trunk to take an 8-3 lead into round three. Nosova tried to respond in the last round and quickly forced her opponent into conceding two gam-jeoms in a row. However, Lo wouldn’t let this faze her. She landed three consecutive kicks to the trunk to secure her second World Taekwondo Junior Championships gold medal. The fight ended 15-6 in Lo’s favour.
Fani Tzeli of Greece and Junli Yang of China won bronze for their respective countries.
Juniors Men -63kg
The last final of the day saw Gabriele Caulo of Italy and Javad Aghayev of Azerbaijan battle for gold in the junior male -63kg. Aghayev landed the first blow after 30 seconds with a kick to the head and then forced his opponent to concede a gam-jeom by knocking him over. Caulo then forced two gam-jeoms of his own, but Aghayev responded with a front kick to the trunk to end round one 6-2 up. Both fighters landed punches to their opponent in the opening stages of the second round. Caulo started to close the gap by landing consecutive kicks to the trunk. However, it was Aghayev who landed the last blow of round two to take a narrow 9-8 lead into the last. Caulo attacked his opponent aggressively in the opening stages of round three and got his reward by forcing Aghayev into conceding a gam-jeom. The fight was tied at 9-9 at the half way mark of the last round. Both fighters looked to claim the gold late on, but it was Aghayev who landed the killer blow with a punch to the trunk in the dying seconds. The fight ended 14-13 and Aghayev claimed Azerbaijan’s first gold of the tournament.
The bronze medals were claimed by Erfan Moradi of Iran and Nedzad Husic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
AMMAN, Jordan (April 1, 2018) – On Sunday April 1st, 2018, the Azraq Taekwondo Academy training facility was officially inaugurated by Taekwondo Humanitarian Foundation (THF) Chairman and World Taekwondo (WT) President Dr. Chungwon Choue, just short of two years after the launch of the Foundation’s first pilot project in the camp.
His Royal Highness, Prince Rashid Bin El Hassan, President of Jordan Taekwondo Federation, attended this historic event, along with representatives from Jordan authorities, including Vice-President of Jordan Olympic Committee, Amman Mayor Office and SRAD, as well as delegates from UNHCR and CARE Jordan and friends of the Foundation who travelled specially from overseas to attend.
The Azraq Taekwondo Academy began operations on April 27, 2016, as one of the first projects set up in a refugee camp by THF and its mother organisation, World Taekwondo. Azraq refugee camp is located 90 kilometers away from the Jordanian-Syrian border and currently hosts more than 32’000 refugees, victim of the Syrian civil war, of whom a great proportion are children. THF’s Academy trains children from the camp in taekwondo, providing them with important self-defence skills and key universal values imbedded within the philosophy of taekwondo. Currently, more than 80 students train at the Academy, with taekwondo sessions offered three times a week.
At the end of 2017, THF and World Taekwondo took the decision to construct a dedicated taekwondo training facility for the Academy inside to camp. This purpose-built facility will make a huge difference to the lives of hundreds of children today and in the future. It will allow the Academy to host more students and provide a better training experience with more classes and diversified activities. Students will be able to practice in comfort and safety. The facility also has a classroom, which will allow THF to implement its education programme that teaches Olympics values and the universal values of World Citizenship and World Peace.
Speaking following the opening ceremony, President Choue said:
“It was with great pride and humility that I was able to open the new taekwondo facility at the Azraq Taekwondo Academy. The Academy has been a great success and has even already produced its first black belt. But, we knew there was even more that we could do to maximize opportunities for these deserving young people.
This new facility will make a huge difference and allow students to practise in comfort and safety. We have seen over the last two years how taekwondo has the power to bring hope and joy to people who need it most and help them live healthier and more fulfilling lifestyles. With this new facility we can reach even more young people and help teach them values which will help them in the future. This wonderful new facility will provide a benchmark for future THF projects around the world.”
And also, Dr. Choue thanked to Mr. Lu Dezhi, Chairman of China’s Huamin Charity Foundation and Crown Prince Fujaira who donated for taekwondo programs, and Mr. Bian Zhiliang, Chairman of Taishan Sports Industry Group Co, LTD.
THF and World Taekwondo hope to align their efforts with other Olympic Federations and invite other sports that need a physical facility to offer classes in this new Academy in Azraq. The Academy will provide a benchmark for future projects by THF.
Azraq will be used as a model for THF academies across the world – in Rwanda, in Djibouti and elsewhere.
