Deepen your skills - book a private lesson

In addition to basic exercises and additional exercises, Taekwondo athletes offer private lessons for enthusiasts who want to deepen their skills in a specific area effectively.

In a private lesson, the enthusiast and the coach focus closely on the training of a single area, and the enthusiast receives immediate and continuous feedback on their performance. Because of this, a lot of progress is made in just one hour. Private lessons are also held for two enthusiasts or small groups.

Advantages of private lessons:

You can practice exactly the area in which you want to improve. E.g:
- Match technique
- A new range of motion or refining of range of motion
- Basic technique and steps
- Self-defense and step fights
- Preparing for the belt exam
- Physical training
- Weight training
You will receive immediate and continuous feedback on your performance
You can arrange an hour flexibly according to your own schedule
Affordable price
- See the price list >>

This is how you book a private lesson

See the training time that suits you from the training calendar >>

We have set the times in the calendar when our coaches are available for private lessons, but you can suggest a time outside of these as well.

Send an email to info@tu11.fi.main.hoste.fi and book an hour. At the same time, tell us what subject you would like to practice and we will book a coach accordingly. You can also book a lesson directly from the trainers in the gym. Race team members can use Slack to book an hour.

You can still agree with the coach about the details. We will send the invoice an hour after that. Get a training mark for the belt tests.

Note! Please remember that we offer all children's competition group members a free private lesson in the summer, if the training contract was valid when the gym was closed in late spring.

Rehearsals continue on June 1.

Taekwondo can also be started in the summer

The Covid-19 epidemic has shown signs of abating in Finland, and restrictions are gradually being eased and lifted. Taekwondo athletes will also return to the training activities organized in the gym right from the beginning of June.

We are all jointly responsible for ensuring that the epidemic does not start accelerating again in Finland. Precautions and anticipation are at the center of all training and activities in the gym.

For a couple of months now, we have been training with the help of video workouts and live broadcasts. It's nice to be able to start the actual exercises in the gym again.

Beginner groups and advanced groups train in the same groups during the summer, but the age group division remains unchanged. The workouts are designed so that new enthusiasts can easily join in, but there is also a challenge level for the more experienced. In addition, many types of additional training are available for enthusiasts who have more time.

For new enthusiasts:

Check the training times for your age group from the training calendar
Pack clothes suitable for indoor exercise and a water bottle in a training bag and head out to the gym
The coach will give you a registration form to fill out and give you practical instructions for getting started.
Come along to your first training sessions. The exercises are designed so that even beginners can keep up with the pace.
Feel free to try the hobby for two weeks before you decide to continue.

For old enthusiasts:

Check the summer practice times.
In addition to the basic workouts, choose at least an additional workout / week aimed at your age group. The hardest trainers go through all possible exercises.
Also take a friend with you to the training!
If you paid the training fees for the time the gym is closed, you will get additional services free of charge this summer. Ask your coach for more information.
Please note that some of the training sessions are held outside in the summer
- Children's outdoor training: meeting in the hall's lower hall. Equipment according to the weather. You don't have to be a dobok.
- Hill training for adults: gathering at Malminkartano's waste hill at the bottom of the stairs. Equipment suitable for running.
- Athletes' outdoor training will be announced separately Slack through.

It is completely understandable that during the last few months the training may have been less and especially the movement sets may need reminiscing. Some of the enthusiasts who have time to pay for the March belt exams also have a replacement exam in the second week of June, which may also cause a few extra spots in terms of movement sets.

We promised to organize free events in the summer for enthusiasts who paid their training fees even when the gym was closed. This poomsa camp is the first of these camps and more will follow later.

Hands are washed carefully with soap before and after training.
A safety distance of two meters is always kept from other enthusiasts when not doing pair exercises.

Summer practice times

The summer practice times have been published on the practice times page! and they enter into force on June 1.

When the gathering restrictions are relaxed, 50 people can return to relatively normal training. Of course, it is clear that precautions must still be taken into account in all activities and planning of exercises. We publish detailed instructions for all enthusiasts before the start of summer training, and they are also reviewed with each group in the gym.

There is plenty of training in the summer, so now is an excellent opportunity to make up if your own training has fallen short since the end of spring. For example, there are 9 weekly classes for adults to choose from. The hardest trainers certainly make use of all the training!

Some of the exercises are carried out outside.

See you at the gym!

Situation overview of taekwondo athletes 11.5.

Read here the latest information regarding the corona situation

The corona epidemic in Finland has progressed to the stage where restrictions are starting to be loosened to the extent that it is safe and justified from the point of view of the functioning of society. For example, starting in June, gatherings will be allowed for a maximum of 50 people, sports facilities will be opened and close-to-school teaching in schools will continue on May 14.

The authorities have yet to provide more detailed instructions regarding sports activities, but it goes without saying that continuing activities as quickly as possible is especially important for children and young people. Taekwondo athletes also strive to quickly return to normal training activities.

Of course, we follow the instructions of the authorities in all activities, and the safety of enthusiasts, coaches and other team members is at the center of our operations. This means that e.g. exercises and general movement and being in the gym are planned so that the probability of the virus spreading is as low as possible. In addition, live exercises online will continue at least until May.

Preliminary plan for returning to gym training

18.5. from, small group exercises are held for a maximum of 10 people

With the start of schools, we have decided that in the last two weeks of May, we will organize one practice a week in the gym for all age groups at the same time as the live practices are still running. You must register for the exercises in the gym in advance on May 17. by, so that we can form equal groups. Practice times depend on the final number of registered participants and they will be notified to registered participants separately. No group accepts more than ten enthusiasts, but enough groups are established that everyone who wants to can practice.

May's exercises and being in the gym are planned so that there is no close contact in any of the exercises and a distance of more than a meter is kept from training buddies. Hands are always washed before and after exercises and training equipment is used as little as possible. Used equipment is always disinfected after use. You must not come to the exercises if you have even minor symptoms. The coach has the right to immediately remove the enthusiasts he interprets as sick from training based on his own judgment.

Escorts are not allowed to enter the hall. If you bring and take children to practice, please wait outside the front door in a shed or in the car.

Sign up for the gym exercises in May by sending an email to info@tu11.fi. When registering, mention the hobbyist's name, age, belt rank and whether he practices in a basic group or a competition group.

Live workouts online will continue at least for the whole of May, so enthusiasts can still train from home.

The summer training calendar enters into force on June 1.

In June, when the gathering restrictions are relaxed, we will start more intensive training in the gym, but still with the same considerations as in the training at the end of May. We give even more detailed instructions to all enthusiasts regarding the procedures, and these are also reviewed with all groups in the gym.

In the summer, at least three exercises are organized for all age groups, of which at least one per week is carried out outside.

The professional athletes had a great success in the 1st Daedo Open European Poomsae Championships

Christian, Aino, Alex, and Sofia showed their skills in the online business series competition organized by Daedo, which gathered more than 1000 participants from different parts of the world. The judges had a full job to evaluate the performances for no less than 7 days.

All Taekwondo athletes advanced in their series to the semi-finals, which is a hard performance in itself considering that, for example, there were well over a hundred participants in the cadet girls.

Aino finished in tenth place, being the best European in his series. The final place was a few hundredths of a point away. Sofia's final ranking in the series is 47, but it's especially worth looking at the points of the first round, where Sofia stylishly won more than seven, advancing to the semifinals in sixth place in her group. In cadet boys, Alex finished 24th.

In the men's under-30 series, Christian also progressed stylishly from the preliminary rounds to the next round, but the road was cut off in a tough series in the semifinals and the final ranking was 28th.

On Sunday, we can still be excited by the performances of Budokwa's Frans Salme and Wondo's Johanna Nukar and Juho Metsälä, who advanced to the finals.

In February, the same power team competed in Sweden.

Congratulations to everyone for their wonderful performances and good luck to the Finns until the final day!
