i heard in ns will learn some bcct,icct,acct thing.i was wondering how they choose.I heard from my fren need to go for interview and need to have martial art experiences.i tink im kinda interested in tis but feels tat it might be hard to get select.
i had a green tip belt in taekwondo,boxing,muaythai and some MMA experiences.will NS take all this as factor when they choose?

yes.. but most important factor is organisation needs…

Do highlight your interest to your PC during interview, I’m sure your PC will be able to help you out in some ways

will have interviews ah?can i tell them like i interested in martial arts,is it possible for me to be able to apply for some instructor thing or?

Har greentip nia ? Not high at all ley .

lol i noe not high,i realise tkd quite useless tats y i stop and proceed to muay thai,boxing etc.

saf only recognise taewondo as the medium of teaching unarmed combat. 1 year only have 2 intakes. taewondo standard is best black belt, then they take u in. highlight to ur bmt pc helps.

that time my bmt the bcct PTE instructor tell us they only draw service pay. no $100 combat allowance. then some cb ones bully ps, pc, oc in battalions unit training, as though they are only PTE/LCP/CPL, during the unarmed training, their Instructor appt is their appointment.

Need at least brown tip and above in TKD.
Any other martial art background also will do but it is up to the instructor to choose you.
You will need to take part in a sparr tkd style which is part of the interview.

tink got someone posted his days as UCI b4… can check with him…

oh i know about this!

basically its really up to demand. they need about 20 every 1 or 2 years. to replace instructors that ORD. and not every batch they conduct the selection. it just so happens that during my batch, they decide they'll scout for 20 new candidates.

im in this april's bmt batch and they were auditioning for instructors and i went for it too!

basically i dont think they need high qualifications of martial arts, though it'll really help.

in auditions, they dont ask for much in technique wise. i think all they want to see is aggressiveness which is really really dumb. all you have to do is shout at the top of your lungs and throw moves that are really aggressive. ie: you do 720 hook kick perfectly also they dont care. you not aggressive enough, you fail.

they also look out for more practical moves, instead of fancy taekwondo kicks which are more common in traditional styles of martial arts. in simple terms, street fight.

the camp is the same as the PTI. first 3 months of training, stay-in. whole day do martial arts training, which includes weapon training. end of day sure whole body bruise. after 3 months will be dispatched to camps to train people in bcct icct acct, 8-5 job, just like pti. rank will be corporal.

but hey, if you're trained in taekwondo like me, you wont like it cause they train and teach in no.4 pants and boots. and you'll soon realise how annoying it is to have 2 heavy boots and stuffy pants restricting your execution of kicks

hope that helps!

sorry to say that chances that they will hold another selection is virtually zero. cos they'll take in what they need from my batch, which will last for the next year. not every batch will have instructor selection. for example, the january batch didnt have combat instructor selection.

BUT, if somehow you get to have a selection, you dont have to be worried about the color of your. on the list, they only ask your martial art, your years of experience, and when was the last time you practiced it. and as i just said, what they are looking for, is very different from what is taught in traditional martial arts classes. unless what you go for is hardcore aggressive boxing and street fighting classes lar.

you should declare that you have martial arts background in the internet profile thing if you want to get called up for selection(if there is even any), or during the last bcct class, in instructors will call for selection while the rest carry on with their class.

anyway, 15 june! thats when my company is taking in a new batch of recruits! ptp enchanced one.

POP LOH!

training of course tough lar. imagine everyday long pants and boots training in martial arts, spar here spar there. not pain meh. lol! after 3 months not everyday teach bcct lar. still got go other places teach icct and acct stuff what.

ooo,sad to hear tat its low chance there will be any selection tis intake..

they are chee byes of the saf.

Who doesn't???

Any martial arts status is needed cuz app they ask for cert. Friend tried to go wifout 1... dunno whether he made it.

Plus during selections, must act SUPER GARANG. [e.g. Shout very loud n very sharp agressive movements]

Then ure pretty set to go as a CCI already
