Come and learn about versatile taekwondo!

Right now is a great time to start practicing taekwondo. Finland's top association, Taekwondourheilijat 2011 ry organizes two open days, where anyone can get to know the sport by watching, trying and asking questions. The club's instructors are there to talk about the sport, the club and training, so the answers to mind-boggling questions can be found in Helsinki's Konala, Ruosilankuja 3 C in a row on Saturday 31 August 2013 and 7 September 2013. The doors open at 10:00 and are open until four, longer if there are enough people interested. In the future, e.g. introductory training opportunities, competitions, raffle for training months, etc. And serving coffee and juice - of course!

There is no bad age to start taekwondo, the sport is suitable for everyone. Small children learn general physical skills, and with seniors we go at a calm, but still developing pace. For the young and enthusiastic, our club offers fast-paced training and learning to compete under the leadership of our country's most successful taekwondo athletes. In our club, there are many families, where both children of different ages and parents enthusiastically pursue their own goals. So don't worry, start taekwondo now!

Teemu at the World Championships - defeat in the second match

Post date 19.7.2013

Teemu Heino started his competitive career nicely by beating the young Serbian Relja Prosenicka with a score of 5-0.

In the second round, the silver medalist of the London Olympics, Gabon's Anthony Obame, was stronger 0-1. The judges reeled for a long time about the back spin hit of the 3rd set, but did not accept it as a point performance. Teemu's career ended with this match.

Obame continued to the final and became world champion.

Teemu's performance can be considered good. Returning from a serious injury to the top of the world has been successful. It will be interesting to see if Heino will also represent Finland in the spring European Championships.
