In an exclusive interview with FrontPage Africa, Grand Master Jallah revealed that his organization was established in 2000 with the assistance of the Liberia Taekwondo Federation (LTF). He emphasized that since the establishment of the Taekwondo School on Bushrod Island, he has been collaborating with the Liberia Taekwondo Federation to develop Liberia’s next Taekwondo stars.
Master Jallah explained that his Taekwondo institution currently has 30 kids undergoing intensive training, aiming to develop their skills. They are currently at the Super White and Yellow Belt stages, which represent the first and second stages of CTI training.
“We usually train our athletes every Saturday in an area on the right side of the St. Paul Bridge Community in the Virginia community, and the usual turnout of our athletes and their responses to their training is a positive step forward,” Jallah said.
He extended thanks and appreciation to the parents of his athletes for the courage they continue to show in supporting their children’s training, which, he added, has helped enhance their skills.
“I always encourage my athletes not to be rude or violent against their friends or parents because they are undergoing taekwondo training. Instead, I urge them to continue to obey their parents and to always be friendly with their friends on and off their respective school campuses. I’m happy that they are responding positively to both their training and behavior,” Master Jallah stressed.
“I started this organization with my son Mohammed Z. Jallah Jr., who is one of the champions and recently won a gold medal in one of the LTC national tournaments. Another boy named Samuel King, along with several other athletes from my institute, are now on the national taekwondo team of Liberia. I hope to produce more athletes not only for my institute but also for the national taekwondo team of Liberia,” he narrated.
