Taekwondo license - permission to kick

The valid license period is 1.1.-31.12.2012

Everyone participating in the activities of the Finnish Taekwondo Association (camps, competitions, etc.) must have a license from the Finnish Taekwondo Association. All enthusiasts are also recommended to purchase Pohjola's accident insurance when acquiring a license. License insurance is a comprehensive and safe choice. In 2012, the insurance cover is more comprehensive than before, e.g. in terms of physical therapy.
Taekwondo athletes 2011 ry requires a sports license and insurance from all its enthusiasts who participate in events organized by the club, such as belt tests, indoor competitions, seminars, etc. The enthusiast must take care of his own insurance coverage, even if he does not obtain a license for some reason.

NOTE!

Budoleiri is a sports camp for 8-14 year olds who are interested in aikido, karate, kendo, taido and taekwondo, which is organized in Tampere, At Varala Sports College.

The camp is organized for the 14th time. Over the years, the composition of the participating sports has varied, and in addition to aikido, taido and WTF taekwondo, this year's camp also includes karate, kendo and ITF taekwon-do. That is why the camp is also organized in two parts.

The second camp will continue right after with a new sports lineup on Sunday, June 10, 2012 and will end on Tuesday, June 12, 2012. In the second camp, the sports are taido, karate and ITF taekwon-do.

In addition to fast-paced sport training and sport trials, the camps also have a surprise program. However, the content is still a secret.

Mahama Cho visited our training sessions

Mahama Cho, a heavyweight competitor of the English national team, trained in our gym the week before Christmas and helped Teemu prepare for the Olympic qualifiers. In the week before the camp, at the tournament in Paris, Cho took a clear victory over the reigning Olympic champion and has success from other tournaments as well.

At just 22, Cho is one of the most promising heavyweights in the world. He welcomed the opportunity to train with an experienced top. ”After these training experiences, Teemu is one of my favourites for the European qualification tournament. He definitely has a good chance to qualify for the Olympics” said Cho.

Juho and Teemu at the Paris Open

The Paris Open, which served as a general practice for the Olympic qualifiers, went moderately well for the Finns. Suvi Mikkonen won two matches and lost to Great Britain's Jade Jones, the series' reigning World Cup silver medalist. Juho Kostiannen also won two matches, but lost to Italy's Claudio Treviso in the third round. Teemu Heino's path to the first round against Croatia's Vedran Golec was already cut off with a 2-2 referee's decision, as even the Extra Set did not bring clarity about the winner.

The Paris Open was the last big tournament before the European Olympic Qualifying Tournament at the end of January.
