Master Daniel Sng

President of ITF Singapore

“Bringing up your child should not be painful when you have good teachers” as quoted by Master Daniel Sng, President of ITF Singapore and Founder of Island Taekwon-Do Centre.

Being an instructor of over thirty-five years, he understands the importance of positive personal growth in individuals as well as the need for a healthy lifestyle.

“In the hectic society in which we live in, many children spend most of their time in school; and peers as well as teachers play huge roles in the childs’ life. Therefore, it is vital to lead by example, as teachers, as well as instructors are the leading influences and role models for our young.”

Master Daniel Sng continues to be a role model for his students, by training, researching and reading up on the latest aspects of health and martial arts in order to benefit his students with the knowledge he passes on.
