📣Public awareness statement for parents and aspiring athletes:

We encourage all parents and future athletes to be careful when choosing a Taekwondo gym or training program. With many gyms suddenly appearing and offering classes, “Olympic training programs,” or “elite training,” it is important to verify first if they are officially accredited by the Philippine Taekwondo Association (PTA).

Before enrolling, check if the gym, school, or instructors have legitimate PTA accreditation, recognized certifications, and proper coaching credentials. Accreditation helps ensure that instructors have undergone valid training, follow proper standards, and provide safe, quality instruction for athletes.

Parents and athletes should not be misled by big claims, titles, or marketing promises. Not all programs promoting advanced or Olympic-level training are genuine or recognized. Always do your research, ask for proof of accreditation, and confirm credentials directly with the proper governing body.

Be diligent, stay informed, and choose training environments that prioritize athlete development, safety, discipline, and legitimacy.
