Opening of the Taekwondo competition at PMF

The Commissioner of Police Rusiate Tudravu this morning officiated the Taekwondo competition at the Police Mobile Force (PMF) for its officers and their children.

The competition was made possible through the partnership with Taekwondo Fiji Association and the Korean Embassy.

“We are now living in uncertain times and learning to protect ourselves is the way forward,” said Mr Tudravu.

He said the competition will equip them with essential self defense skills, to steer them away from negative influences such as violence and drugs,

He reminded the children that fitness and discipline were associated with Taekwondo, and he acknowledged their efforts in going through the training.

The Taekwondo Training will be implemented in the Fiji Police Force with PMF piloting the training for officers.

“After the training of trainers, your team will be going out to divisions to train Police Officers at station levels. If their individual families are interested, they too can join.”
