Children under 16 17.00-19.00
Over 16 years old 19.00-21.00
Taekwondo athletes organize indoor competitions on Tuesday 19 June 2012. In indoor competitions, everyone can agree on their match partner and possible main contact with each other, so there is no participation threshold. There is a central referee in the matches and the points are counted as in real competitions.
The competitions start with children's (under 16) matches at 17:00 and around 19:00 we move on to the adult matches. Indoor competitions are free for TU11 members and Coaching Center athletes, the price for others is 10 euros. Indoor competitions replace the normal exercises on Tuesday.
In the indoor competition, you can order the necessary protections for the competition (not mandatory, except for mouth guards / €6 and bottom guards / €22). If you don't have protectors, the club will lend them to the race.

Hilla Palviainen took gold in the girls' under 63 kg category at the PM Games held in Malmö, Sweden, on Saturday. In their first match, Hilla defeated Riihimäki's Roosa Torttila with a score of 11-1. In the final, Hilla was met by a training friend from the training center and a fierce competitor, Jenna Partanen (Tapiola Taekwondo Hwang). In her semi-final, Jenna had defeated the tall Swede, Natalie Fogelberg, with a wonderful performance. In the final, the situations varied, but at the end of the game, the score was 8-5 for Hilla. I saw Hilla win the Nordic championship.
Juho Ranta (men -87 kg) took bronze in his series after defeating Aki Tiihonen from Lahti in the quarter-finals. In the semifinals, the score line of the main hits favored Dennis Zorko from Sweden, who won the series, who went on to win the series, defeating Joonas Rynö of Helsinki Taekwondo in the final.
Teemu Heino (men +87 kg) also did not find the right kind of hits in his semi-final match against Sweden's Mustafa Jukovic. Despite Teemu's hard effort, the match ended in favor of the Swede 2-1. In the final, Jukovic defeated Tero Kuorikoski from Lahti and took the series victory.
Taekwondo athletes throw a summer challenge to their enthusiasts and the staff of the training center!
The name of the challenge is side splits, and the most important thing is not the end result, but your own relative improvement during the summer. Initial measurements are taken until the transition to summer training times (beginning of June, more detailed information about summer training times in the next few days), and the development is checked after the summer when moving to autumn training times. The sooner you measure your initial level, the more time you have to improve your result. All developers will be rewarded with even more spectacular kicking techniques, but the best developer will also receive an extra prize.
In practice, we measure with a tape measure how far apart a person can place their heels in the initial measurement and after the summer in the final measurement. The achieved centimeter improvement is compared to the person's own height, and the person with the highest ratio is the winner of the challenge competition.
Many thanks to everyone who participated in the studio work and filming, without you these things would not have progressed! There was a good number of enthusiastic people at the gym from morning to afternoon, and a lot of food was also obtained. Unfortunately, in the midst of promo shootings and other work, I completely forgot to take atmospheric photos. However, the attached picture shows a small piece of the final result.
