Korean MBC Cup International Taekwondo Championship – Pei Min Students Return Home Victorious

(Miri, 26th) Three Taekwondo athletes from Pei Min Middle School traveled to Korea to participate in the 10th MBC Cup International Taekwondo Open Championship, clinching 2 first prizes, 1 second prize, and 2 third prizes, making a name for themselves at the event.

This competition was held on August 11 at the Gyeryong City Civic Gymnasium in Korea, gathering athletes from around the world to compete, demonstrating exceptional sportsmanship and cultural exchange. The three Pei Min students competed fiercely against top competitors from other countries, winning big prizes and bringing glory to their nation.

The three Pei Min students are: Yu Enhao, Yu Enyao, and Mo Wenqi.
The following are their competition results:
Yu Enhao:
(1) Sparring Event (Kyurogi): First Place
(2) Individual Poomsae Event: Third Place
Yu Enyao:
(1) Individual Poomsae Event: Third Place
Mo Wenqi:
(1) Individual Poomsae Event: Second Place
(2) Team Poomsae Event: First Place

Principal Bei Meijiao of Pei Min expressed that it was no easy feat for these three students to have the courage to participate in an international competition and even come home with awards. This is the result of long-term diligent training and tireless effort, and it is also the best reflection of the school’s educational philosophy.

She said that the school has always adhered to the educational policy of all-around development in "virtue, intellect, physique, community, and aesthetics." As a traditional martial art, Taekwondo is not just a competitive sport but also a discipline for self-cultivation. Students learning Taekwondo not only train their bodies but also temper their willpower and learn self-discipline and self-improvement. This spirit will become their most precious asset in life.

She hopes that all students will bravely pursue excellence and persevere in any field they love, be it academics, sports, or the arts. Victory and achievement are not limited to the moment on the field but belong to the process of striving day after day.

She congratulates the students who have returned with honors and thanks all the parents who have supported Pei Min all along. She hopes this glory will become a driving force for the students and let Pei Min continue to be a cradle for nurturing dreams.
