Yup TKD in NCC and Unarmed Combat in NS

If you have TKD black belt prior to serving ns, they will likely request you to help out during unarmed combat session

As you can see, SAF even have a taekwondo badge for it while no such badge cater to other forms of martial arts.

Why ah? Why don't have MMA badge, muay thai badge or Krav Maga badge?
That’s unarmed combat you noob
Never serve NS is it?
must be fake sinkie

Chen Tian Wen used to be my sec school NCC TKD instructor prior to him joining mediacorp

Back then he's super fit & muscular, other than showing us how to spar, he and his instructor too perform kicking and hitting bricks and wood

Dun believe, ask him if you chance upon him

Different between TKD & Unarmed Combat, though both also have similar sparring session & both also require to take test but the latter empathise more on how to disarm someone with weapon say knife or Baton/Stick
