"All you have to do is know where you're going. The answers will come to you of their own accord. Then bridge this gap with knowledge & experience"

JSTARC in the past few months has been escalating on the paths that bring us closer to our goals. The recent participation & wins of our talented team JSTARC at 3 major international events has proven to us that we can & will put India on a prominent position on the map of the world. This batch had some new rising stars from our other centers like Bengaluru along with the achievers of previous years. This has developed a larger & more promising team JSTARC. The win of 54 medals has been the highest that an Indian team has accomplished. With determination & the zeal that these young players have shown, I am sure that this win is just the beginning.  I am also pleased to inform that this Triple Bonanza fest was made available to the participants' at the most economical price ever offered.
 
Another step towards expanding the working scope of JSTARC's operations was inviting & appointing of Deputy / Associate - Regional Director Pan India. JSTARC has extended a cordial hand to all those martial arts enthusiasts who share our vision & dreams. This will help JSTARC not only broaden its centers but also fulfill its aim to unite true Taekwondo enthusiasts under a banner that promotes the sport in its right spirit & in a scientific manner. These directors will be appointed post a detail analysis of their applications. These new office bearers will assist JSTARC to revolutionize Taekwondo culture in India & aggressively to promote Modern Taekwondo in their regions.

JSTARC is noted for its concern for knowledge update & detailed analysis of the requirements of Indian audiences. It discovered that to elevate the status of martial arts in India there is a need to improvise on the techniques of self-defense. The foremost & the best known techniques of Self defense belong to a martial art known as Hapkido.

Hapkido has a wide spread application. It is a most effective self defense technique & practiced by players & common man alike. To make Hapkido available for its students & others in their Dojangs, a special team from JSTARC underwent a rigorous training in Hapkido.  Under the guidance of Master Sung Yeel Seo at the Hanminjok Hapkido Association (World Kido Federation). An MOU was signed between the association & JSTARC making JSTARC an affiliated member of Hanminjok Hapkido Association & World Kido Federation.

Hapkido is an excellent martial art & an effective self defense technique. It is a powerful art & has lesser limitations like age group etc. JSTARC will offer basic training levels, affiliations & Dan certifications.

JSTARC is slowly inching its way towards its goals & trying to bring genuine techniques & procedures to Indian students. This will surely bridge the knowledge gap between students of other countries & India. Actions like these will help give deserving & willing players a platform to recognize their field of interest & find a purpose in life.
