The 1st indoor competition of taekwondo athletes took place

Post date 4.12.2011

On December 4, 2011, indoor competitions with Daedo's electric armor were held in the hall of taekwondo athletes. The competitors were mainly juniors, but there were also some older ones participating to test their match fitness. The juniors diligently played an average of 2-3 matches per nose, with the most enthusiastic taking on up to five matches within three hours.

The taekwondo athletes would like to thank all the participants and welcome them again to the next indoor competitions in early 2012. The exact date will be announced around the turn of the year.

Teemu and Juho K. in Burgos

Post date 27.11.2011

ESP, FIN, FRA — Heavy category medal trio of the Burgos competition

Teemu and Juho started their Spanish camp weekend with a small competition in the beautiful city of Burgos, a couple of hundred kilometers north of Madrid. Teemu beat both his Spanish and French opponents. Juho cleared his first challenge with a routine, but in the second match travel fatigue was visible, and Juho was not able to perform at his sharpest. So the training buddy from Madrid grabbed Juho's place in the finals and Juho won a bronze medal from the Games. The races dragged on late, and after a long car ride, we didn't get to the hotel in Madrid until a little before three in the morning.
