The ETU President's Cup 2017 G-2 competition will be held for the second time this spring and is also the largest taekwondo competition ever organized. 2182 athletes from 51 countries are aiming for medals, fame and glory, among them e.g. 14 Olympic medalists. Not a single match win comes for free in this tournament, and a medal is already an extremely hard achievement. The top team of taekwondo athletes accepts the challenge with joy. For club representatives, the four-day competition looks like this:

Body control and acrobatics training will be left for the early summer vacation from the training calendar for Thursday evenings. Training coach Christian Kamphuis just started his conscript service at Santahamina Sports School, and despite his best efforts, a new instructor could not be found. The popular exercise will certainly make a comeback when a suitable instructor and time is found.
Participation is free for everyone, and you do not need to register separately. Competitors from outside the club are also warmly welcome.
17:00-19:00 – E, D, and C2 (9-12-year-olds and 12-14-year-old beginners)
18:00-19:00 5-6 year olds have their own skills competition
19:00-21:00 – C1, B1, B2, R1 and H (12-14-year-old cadets, +15-year-olds)
If you are not sure which group you should join, feel free to contact the coaches. In particular, larger C2 boats and those planning to transfer to cadet series should ask if more suitable resistors can be found in a later shift. We encourage all new enthusiasts to participate in the games, even if they don't even know what competing means. The first time you can look at the moods or even try it yourself if you feel like it.
In the shift starting at 19:00, E-armors are used on at least one field. Your own E-socks are therefore highly recommended if you want to fight with electric armor. There are also a few loaner socks in different sizes.
You can borrow the missing protectors from the club, but we encourage everyone to buy their own training protectors, which are regularly needed in training as well. Ask more from the gym's equipment store and coaches.
Note! No other exercises will be organized on the day of the Salika competition.
The club's traditional spring day is getting more and more traditional. Spring Day will be celebrated on May 6, 2017 at the Konala hall, at Ruosilankuja 3C. All enthusiasts and their close circle are welcome.

Very nice Easter holidays everyone!
The long distance didn't hurt when the strike group of poomsae minions went south all the way from Kuopio to get the medals. In the Kuopi Open 2017 tournament, 50 business series competitors measured themselves against each other, most of whom, however, participated in more than one series. The team of taekwondo athletes was able to carry medals home with their backs wrong, as there were enough representatives for the whole day. Coach Essi can once again be satisfied with the team's performance, and we are allowed to expect a lot from Korso's upcoming competition. Let's go there with the biggest team ever to take home the wins!

The taekwondo athletes were on the move with a 24-person team in the Nurtzi Open competitions held in Nurmijärvi, where this year no less than 449 kickers competed against each other. There were no free medals when there were teams from Finland, Spain, Estonia, Sweden, Latvia, Iceland and Israel. The success of the taekwondo athletes is indicated by the fact that they went home in third place with the best club standing under their arms.
The competitive spirit of the league contenders is clearly starting to be on point. There were enough top moments for everyone, but the series victories of Emmi, Tuiku, Sara, Bardia and Eddie were especially memorable. The nationalities of the opponents did not weigh much when Emmi and Tuikku's opponents fell one after the other with clear numbers. Bardia's tactics changed on the fly against the Icelandic opponent in the final when the opponent's warning account started to fill up. Bardia ran forward with speed, forcing his opponent to make repeated mistakes and finally got him to be discus. Sara and Eddie once again showed how to score points with a high percentage. Lauri, Luca and Plum also got international competition experience, but this time they lost in the opening rounds. Sam's flu froze his legs after the first round that started well. Aino won his first match, but after a long stretch in the second match, the Estonian resistance pulled a longer one. Similarly, Jenny's long Swedish resistance took the win, but Jenny's movement and swagger were amazing to watch. Unfortunately, Juri was drawn directly to the final against Eddie and took home the silver from the mutual struggle of the teammates. 
Iine's point mill started once again in the first match and did not stop grinding until a fair point win in the final. A hard kick combined with reasonable use promises good things in the future. Janika also won the series with a mature and accurate match. Especially Janika's business worked perfectly. The same exact and careful search for scoring positions was also shown by Aleksi, who had to stop in the middle of his second match due to a leg injury. Venne, Henri and Joonas each won their opening matches, but had to admit defeat in others. Opening losses for Risto, Frans, Kaisla, Teemu and Markus.
Juho, Pauli, Riina were the coaches in the games and Alberto Celestrin was the guest star. A big thank you to Alberto and the other coaches, as well as the whole team and the maintenance crew!
See you at the gym!
