Taekwondo athletes are disciplined by the same financial challenges as the rest of society. The uncontrollable rise in prices, especially energy, and the increased costs of the new hall force TU11 to make difficult decisions. We have already started decisive measures to cut costs. However, according to our calculations, they are not enough, and without an increase in fees, we will not survive the coming winter. 

The increases take place so that the current contracts are valid until the end of the payment period at the old price. If the payment period changes or the new contract starts on 1.11. or after that, the new prices will be used.

New training fees and belt exam prices from 1 November 2022:

4-6 year olds €59/month
6-15 year olds 69 €/month
Over 15 years old €79/month
Racing groups €94/month

All family groups (2 pers.) €150/10 times.

Belt tests

White and yellow belts and badge exams 40 €
Green belts 50 €
Blue belts 60 €
Red belts 70 €
1st Dan 170 €
2nd Dan 200 €
3rd Dan 240 €

When we've settled into the new gym, it's time to turn our attention to the most important thing, i.e. the exercises and their quality. Unfortunately, during and after the move, our provider's support has been rather modest. We will start to fix the issue first with a meeting for instructors in connection with Christmas and with instructor trainings starting right after the turn of the year. The belt test seminars also provide good guidance for guidance.

Director's meeting 12.11.

In connection with Christmas, we go through common issues, especially customer service and sales. In addition, we sweat a little on the carpet. So bring a suit! Official program from 10:00 to 14:00, followed by a little Christmas, for younger people from 14:00 to 16:00 and for adults from 18:00. We hope all instructors and assistant instructors will participate.
