Seven-year-old Clarence Goh has made history by becoming the youngest Taekwondo black belt in Brunei. This achievement is a testament to his dedication, passion and pursuit of excellence.

Goh’s journey to this milestone has been inspiring. From enduring training sessions to overcoming challenges, he has consistently demonstrated a commitment that sets an example for young athletes across the nation.

His competitive record speaks volumes. At the tender age of five, he captured the silver medal for Individual Poomsae at the 2nd Korean Ambassador Cup 2022. At the 3rd Korean Ambassador Cup 2023, he further solidified his talent by securing gold medals in both Individual Poomsae and speed kicking. This year, at the 4th Ambassador Cup 2024, competing in the age 7-9 category, he demonstrated his versatility by winning the bronze medal for Individual Poomsae, the silver medal for Team Pair Poomsae and the bronze medal for high jump kick.

Goh also showcased his prowess in Kyorugi at the 2nd North Borneo Open Taekwondo Championship 2023 in Malaysia where he earned the silver medal.
