On October 24, 2015, Aino Kortelainen and Sofia Sarala took part in business series competitions. In the individual series, Aino got bronze and Sofa finished fourth. In the doubles series, the girls came fifth, missing fourth place by exactly one tenth.
Aino and Sofia were clearly the youngest participants of the games, but they were clearly awake in the stands: according to the girls' analysis, there were almost as many different poom styles and performances as there were participants. In the same event, there were also the itf matches and the crushers, which were fun and interesting to watch.
On Sunday, boom sailing continued at the camp organized by the Kuopio taekwondo club. At the camp, the girls got to know different mental exercises, in which their own inner view of different pooms was examined, e.g. by trying to embody the name of each pooms in the performance, i.e. 1. pooms making the sky, twisting the wind from a whip, etc... In addition, pooms were tested from different perspectives by doing movements, e.g. in reverse order, standing on their knees and sitting on the floor. The biggest laughs were heard in the anti-poomse exercises, where the opponents who performed the countermovement series were fully prepared to be punched by the boomers. The atmosphere at the camp was warm, and the joy of making pooms was transmitted to the heart of the guardian sitting in the audience.
In the belt exams in October, many new belt values were achieved again. There were tests during the week for all age groups and the belt values ranged from 9th cup (dragon mark) to 1st cup (red belt and black ribbon). The list below contains all completed belt values. Taekwondo athletes congratulates all those who have completed the new belt rank!
The team of taekwondo athletes collected medals of all colors from the match competitions in Porvoo on 10.10. In Porvoo, the junior and amateur series were played in the morning and the league series for all age groups in the afternoon.
In the morning, the Power Girls Aino, Sofia, Jenny and Sara cleaned the tables in their own sets. Aino played in three different series, taking a whopping eight matches, eight of which were victories. Thus, Aino has three gold medals and a well-deserved championship prize. Sofia and Jenny were superior in their own series, and the mutual battle was extremely tight until the end. However, Jenny took a longer stroke this time. Sara competed in two series, winning one and taking silver in the other.
The highlights of the afternoon's league series were Emmi's victories in both the cadet and junior series, as well as Eddie's dramatic battle with Nurmijärvi's Oskari Viinanen. Everyone seemed to be in the right mood for the match, and it's good to continue towards the Nurmijärvi Games.

You can take the belt test after collecting enough training marks and knowing belt-level techniques (techniques used in training). The instructors calculate the training times based on the enthusiasts' own training logs and check the candidates who pass the tests from their groups. These enthusiasts will be sent a separate e-mail and told during the exercises. You can check the price lists for belt tests from here.
We require a sports license from the Finnish Taekwondo Federation from all participants, which can be purchased from here.
