Pauli Raivio and Sampo Pajulampi guide Bardia in on-the-job learning, and the theoretical side of the training is handled by Kisakallio sports college in cooperation with Stadin AO.
Bardia's private lessons are reduced by -5€/h for the duration of the training, and a new form of training, small group training, is also included.
In small group training, a group of 3-5 athletes decide on a common goal and train 2 times a week under Bardia's guidance. The group is always arranged for one calendar month at a time, when the exercises will be from 9 to 12. The monthly price is €38/month in addition to the competition contract. The athletes are required to be active and motivated in order to form the groups and manage the exercises. If a practice is missed, it will not be refunded.
Both private lessons are arranged directly with Bardia, although Sampo and Pauli help with the arrangements as needed.

You can get to the belt exams by collecting enough practice marks from the previous belt exam. We calculate training visits based on recorded workouts, so remember to log your exercise every time you go to the gym.
The prerequisite for entering the exam is also that you know the things required in the exam at a sufficient level and follow the rules of conduct in the gym during the exercises.
You do not need to register for the exam in advance. However, please let us know if you are not going to participate in the exam after receiving the invitation by email. Also let us know if you didn't receive an invitation, but you think you should have a belt test.
In the belt exam, you need to know the technical requirements of the exam and the sets of movements. The requirements of the previous exams also still have to be mastered.
Practice instructions for belt tests
The best preparation for the exam is to attend training actively and versatile. For example, enthusiasts who emphasize match training should also attend basic training from time to time, and correspondingly, those training in basic hobby groups should deepen their skills in the form of match training and movement sets.
Movement sets should be practiced especially well, because they gather almost all the techniques required in the exam and embody the ability of the enthusiast to rhythm the techniques and generate strength in them. After learning a new movement sequence, repeat it as much as possible.
In the weeks before the exam, movement sets are also repeated more than usual in training.

We will invoice you for the exam by email after the exam.
