At Crown Taekwondo Federation, we believe that every grading is more than just a test—it's a celebration of hard work, discipline, and personal growth. That’s why we proudly present the CTF Gradings Student of the Day award. This special recognition is awarded to the student who, in the eyes of our black belt panel, demonstrated exceptional performance, outstanding spirit, and true martial arts attitude during their grading.

Whether through technical excellence, perseverance, or inspiring others with their energy and focus, this student stood out as a role model for all. Each recipient is honoured with a trophy to commemorate their achievement—a symbol of their dedication and the respect they’ve earned from their instructors and peers.
