Season opening camp 19.8. (timetable revised)

Post date 5.8.2017

Start the fall season with a bang at the Taekwondo athletes' camp!

For most people, August means a return to everyday routines, whether it's spending time at school or resuming hobbies. For taekwondo athletes, it means a return to a tight training calendar, and for some enthusiasts a return to training from summer vacations. The best way to start training for the fall season is to kick yourself off at the Taekwondo athletes' season opening camp at the Konala hall.

Place: Konala hall, Ruosilankuja 3C

Schedule: Saturday 19 August 2017

10:00-11:15 – Workout 1 – Acrobatics and body control

11:30-12:45 – Workout 2 – Spinning kicking techniques

12:45-14:30 – Lunch break (bring your own snacks)

14:30-15:30 – Jumping and special kicks

Price: €20/participant. Free for everyone who has had a continuous contract for Taekwondo athletes valid for the summer.

Note! At the same time as the camp, the national team camp of the Taekwondo League and an open match camp will be organized. So be prepared for the fact that the gym is sometimes crowded.

Right now is a great time to start practicing taekwondo. The open day for taekwondo athletes is here again, and anyone can get to know the sport by watching, trying and asking questions.

In our club, there are many families, where both children of different ages and parents enthusiastically pursue their own goals, or together in family groups. So don't worry, start taekwondo!

Autumn training times start on Monday 14.8.

The training times for autumn have been decided, and there will be no major changes to the spring calendar. A few changes are due to the resourcing of instructors and the effort to clarify the calendar even more. In addition, efforts have been made to organize more practice space for the largest groups.

As new exercises, the group of young athletes will have a third weekly class and body control/acrobatics will return from their break on Sunday. Feel free to try different additional exercises in addition to the basic exercises. Ask your instructor in more detail where you should start.

Essi's good racing spirit was not enough to win the EUC races

Post date 26.7.2017

Essi represented Finland at the European University Games organized in Portugal in the women's individual series of the movement series. The competition took place with an elimination system, where both contestants do their performance at the same time and at the end the judges evaluate the winner with a blue and a red flag. Essi showed two good race performances, but unfortunately did not get a further place. However, it is good to continue from this to the Universiade in Taipei in August.

Christian, Olli Siltanen (Budokwai) and Frans Salmi (Budokwai) did quite a trick by grabbing a bronze from the Beach Poomsae World Championships organized in Rhodes and immediately after that also a bronze from the European Championship for movement series organized in the same place. The level was extremely high in both value competitions, so the performances of the Finnish trio are worth admiring. In addition to this, Christian also took gold from Austria in the extremely tough G1 tournament, where e.g. the reigning European champion.

The club will have a coffee in Christian's honor on Sunday, July 2. from 14:00 at the Konala hall. The invitation applies to everyone who can nail, so come and enjoy the medal party and the summer day in good company. The event is very free and does not require pre-registration.

In the same connection, the club also gives a homework gift to the children's instructor Jenna Aalto, who is moving to Loviisa in the summer.

The adult belt test wraps up the spring season

Post date 15.6.2017

The belt test for the adult groups was held in the last week of the spring training period and thus served as a suitable conclusion to the hard training of the spring. In the test, new belt values were performed this time especially by high-strung enthusiasts. The test was received by Sampo Pajulampi, who had little to criticize about the performance of the group or individuals.

The club congratulates everyone on the new belt values!

Takamäki is calling again

Post date 6.6.2017

Brisk hill conquerors after training.

A sure sign of summer is that the dreaded "hill" appears in the training calendar of Taekwondo athletes. In hill training, as the name suggests, you run repeatedly up the full hill of Malminkartano using either stairs or paths. Training emphasis changes during the summer and as fitness increases. We recommend the training to everyone who wants to increase their fitness, especially if hill training is still missing from the experience bank.

For the first time, we will go for hill training as a joint start in Salita on Wednesday, June 7. at 18:30 From now on, the exercises start directly on the hill at the bottom of the stairs.
