Taekwondo athletes 2011 condemns Russia's attack on the independent state and people of Ukraine. At the same time, we want to emphasize that people from many different backgrounds train at our gym. All people, regardless of background, ethnicity, religion, political views or sexual orientation, are welcome to train together, if they accept our value and the right of others to participate in the activity. That's why we emphasize that even in the prevailing situation, both our Ukrainian and Russian enthusiasts are equally welcome to train in our gym.

World Taekwondo announcement:

World Taekwondo strongly condemns the brutal attacks on innocent lives in Ukraine, which go against the World Taekwondo vision of "Peace is More Precious than Triumph" and the World Taekwondo values of respect and tolerance.

In this regard, World Taekwondo has decided to withdraw the Honorary 9th dan black belt conferred to Mr. Vladimir Putin in November 2013.

In solidarity with the International Olympic Committee, no Russian or Belarusian national flags or anthems will be displayed or played at World Taekwondo events. World Taekwondo and the European Taekwondo Union will not organize or recognize Taekwondo events in Russia and Belarus.

World Taekwondo's thoughts are with the people of Ukraine and we hope for a peaceful and immediate end to this war.

Now you can get Teemu Heino (6th dan), Petteri Kauppinen (5th dan), Juho Kostiainen (3rd dan) or Pauli Raivio (5th dan) to help you as you strive towards your goals. Whether it's a belt test, competitions, developing physical qualities or learning something new, you'll get the best possible support for your endeavors. You can also assemble a small group with a common goal.

When you sign up, you can make a request for an instructor. When registering, you also state your goals for the course. The counselors then evaluate the most suitable among them to help you achieve your goal. Once the instructor has been selected, he will contact you. You agreed on the schedule and other practical matters. The visits are scheduled for a relatively long period. The first time, the starting level is assessed and the goals are defined in more detail and ways to achieve them are considered. In the following visits, the necessary tools will be adopted and the development will be monitored.

After each meeting, you will receive short feedback and things to do between meetings. At the end, you will receive an assessment of the achievement of your goals and a diploma.

The course requires the participant to have basic knowledge and skills as well as a very strong personal motivation.

To work! campaign

TU11 will pilot the new Töihin! campaign in the spring of 2022. The goal is to develop the basic working life skills of young enthusiasts and at the same time offer the opportunity to earn a little of their own income. In the beginning, the work is done a couple of hours a week with the support of a supervisor, and with the development of skills, both the amount of work and the young person's own responsibility for the work increases.

The first authors have been hired and include e.g. Fresh EC gold medalists Aino Kortelainen and Sofia Sarala.
