At the belt exams in May, a large number of enthusiasts earned their new belt rank. Pat on the back! Hard training was reflected in great performances in the exams themselves, and the bar didn't budge for anyone. 

Thanks also to Mati, Marita, Kirsimarja and Riku, who supervised the exam under the watchful eye of Paul as part of their own progress in the ranks of the black belt. Excellently planned and conducted tests by each. Of course, the same applies to Minna, who won the 3-6 year old exam with a strong routine. 

This is good to continue towards summer training! 

Coach training for taekwondo athletes was unfortunately interrupted at the end of autumn 2020 due to the corona situation. It has not been possible to continue the trainings in the spring either.

In June 2021, we will organize a level 1 training as an intensive course. The course applies to everyone whose Level 1 education was interrupted in the fall, as well as others interested in the subject. We encourage all enthusiasts over 16 years old with at least a red belt to participate. You can attend the training even if you have already completed a similar training, because the subject areas have changed.

Note! Training is mandatory for those participating in the DAN exam in June, if a similar performance has not been done before. 

Objectives and subject areas

• Learning the ways and practices of the society
• Identify ways to create a safe and stimulating training atmosphere
• Identify ways to intervene in problem situations and dangerous situations (e.g. injuries)
• Illustrates ways of practicing taekwondo skills through progressions and differentiated exercises
• Learn the basic model for planning a single exercise
• Learn the basics of different teaching styles and exercise implementation methods

Schedule

Thu 3.6. – 17:00-20:00
Thu 10.6. – 17:00-20:00

In addition to face-to-face teaching, examinees receive a few practice tasks. The location of the close episodes is the Taekwondo athletes' hall in Konala.

The summer practice times are published on the practice times page>>

We practice throughout the summer, except for the two middle weeks of July, July 12-25, when we take a summer break.

In the summer, there are plenty of training opportunities for all age groups, no matter what your goals are in terms of development. Summer is e.g. what a great time to practice your skills or try out what competitive training in racing teams feels like.

Points to note about summer training:

• Age and level groups have been combined a bit, because in the summer group sizes have traditionally been a little smaller. In addition, the training topics are designed so that there are challenges of a suitable level for all belt values.
• There are two feature exercises for the competition teams during the day when schools are on vacation. We provide more detailed instructions for athletes. In addition, Fridays are reserved for competition teams' independent training and extra training.
• Fitness circuit, core, stretching and hill training make the long-awaited return to the training offer
• For those over 13 years of age, there is also an amateur match and an amateur movement series workout. The popular kick workout can also be found again on Sunday.
• For children's groups, there are outdoor workouts on Thursdays in addition to the basic workouts. If you still want to increase the amount of training, you should ask about the possibilities of participating in the training of the racing group.
• The advanced 10-15 pass over the summer to train in the 10-12 and 13-15 age groups.
• In the summer, there is plenty of room in the calendar for private lessons or small group lessons. Book yours right away!

The next belt exams will be held at the end of May. Participants will receive an invitation to the exam by email.

Exams are organized following the same safety guidelines as in practice:

How do you get to the belt exams?

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. Participation in video training sessions must be reported separately as a compiled list to the address before the exams info@tu11.fi.main.hoste.fi.

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.

What is required in the 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. You can find the technical requirements in the training instructions on the hall wall.

We are currently updating the belt test requirements. After the update work, they will also be available in electronic form.

How should you prepare for the exams?

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. 

What does the exam cost and how is it billed
