Raja Zulfadli’s journey into the world of martial arts began in 2004, when a young and eager 11-year-old boy first stepped into a local community club. What started as a simple pursuit of self-defense soon blossomed into a lifelong passion. As he delved deeper into the art of Taekwondo, Zulfadli discovered a unique blend of physical and mental discipline that would shape his future.
Driven by an unwavering dedication, Zulfadli excelled in both sparring and poomsae. He represented Singapore at numerous international competitions, including Asian Championships, World Championships, and the Southeast Asian Games. His participation in the Rio 2016 Olympic Qualifiers showcased his commitment to achieving the highest level of athletic excellence.
Beyond the competitive arena, Zulfadli recognized the transformative power of martial arts. He established SwiftKick Taekwondo Academy, a platform to share his knowledge and inspire the next generation of martial artists. The academy emphasizes not only physical training but also character development, instilling values such as discipline, respect, and perseverance in its students.
While teaching taekwondo came naturally to Zul, administration was his biggest challenge. Initially, Swiftkicks operated in the traditional, old-school way—responding to inquiries individually and requiring in-person meetings for everything. That is, until Classcard came along to transform their operations.
"The app really helps ease our burden," shares Zul. “It's very easy for us to handle the administrative aspects—finances, bookings, and scheduling classes. I'm thankful to your very supportive staff—you always answer and you are always checking in on us. The reason we choose to work with you is because of the excellent customer service you're providing and your in-depth knowledge, that is what makes you different from the others.”
"Without Classcard, I'd probably have to sell SwiftKicks!" Zul jokes, as he emphasizes the vital role the platform has played in aiding his business to manage their day-to-day operations.
As an accomplished Taekwondo practitioner with numerous medals and championships under his belt, Zul wants to extend his expertise and passion to his students. "I envision our athletes becoming world champions, Asian champions—champions in whatever division they're competing in. We've already produced 10 world champions and 8 silver medalists, and we haven't even hit our one-year mark yet."
Zul also wishes to use Taekwondo as a means of helping people reach their full potential. “Whatever goals you want to achieve, we will help you achieve them. This is our goal."
A man of strong principles with a profound respect for core values, Raja Zulfadli's story inspires and empowers those seeking excellence in both martial arts and life.
