Versatile training pays off

In the basic groups of taekwondo athletes, all aspects of the sport are practiced comprehensively and physical qualities are developed in a variety of ways. In addition to these, the price of the basic contract includes a comprehensive package of various additional exercises with which you can deepen your skills in a certain area or raise your fitness to a new level.

We recommend to all our enthusiasts at least one additional exercise per week in addition to the basic exercises. The most enthusiastic, of course, choose workouts for almost every day.

An amateur match

In the amateur match, you get to know the basics of match taekwondo and, of course, you also have sparring matches with a calm attitude. In an amateur match, safety comes first and protection is always carried during training. The group is suitable for anyone over the age of 12 who is interested in the match. Also for 7-12-year-olds there is a dedicated amateur match class on Tuesdays. The amateur match is also a good starting point for the journey towards the competition groups of the match.

Hobby shop series

In the amateur movement series on Monday, the basics of movement series are practiced and, of course, new movement series are studied. In the training, we also dig deeper than basic training into the secrets of steps, hand techniques, kicks and power generation. A very good workout for all enthusiasts, for example as part of a belt test. All enthusiasts who have learned the first set of movements can join the exercise. Children aged 7-12 have their own amateur movement series training on Tuesdays. 

General physical skills, games and games

This exercise is intended for all enthusiasts aged 7-15. As the name suggests, the training involves practicing physical skills comprehensively, taking into account the requirements of children and young people's periods of sensitivity. We especially emphasize acrobatics, mobility, body control, coordination and speed training. The group is a successor to the previously held acrobatics group, so all enthusiasts interested in acrobatics can join. In the classes, we also play various physical games and play games that develop the aforementioned qualities.

Accompanying training for adults

Additional training for adults consists of three separate exercises, fitness circuit, core and stretching.

The fitness circuit is a high-performance muscle fitness and endurance exercise. Movements are performed either with the body's own weight or with small additional weights. The main focus in the exercises is on practicing basic strength and strength endurance with the help of changing themes. The fitness circuits are suitable for beginners as well as wash-resistant strongmen and women. The number of repetitions and intensity can be customized to suit everyone.

Core exercises focus on strengthening the muscles of the upper body. The goal is to build a strong core that supports other training, supports body control and mobility, and prevents back and joint problems.

In stretching exercises, several different methods are applied with the goal of a more mobile and healthier body overall. The stretches are not only limited to static and passive muscle stretches, but also joint movements and active stretching are taken into account. The stretching exercise is specially designed to support taekwondo training, but is suitable for everyone who is interested in a better moving and stretching body.

Free exercise

Enthusiasts over the age of 15 can also train independently at the gym on Saturdays from 13:00 to 14:00. There is an instructor there, from whom you can ask for tips for your own training if necessary.

Racing groups

Athletes with different goals train in competition groups, but all of them have in common a strong desire to improve and to put in the effort for results. The higher training fee for competition groups entitles you to attend all possible training sessions that can be found in the gym. In addition, athletes have the right to use the hall for their own training. Maybe you too will become an athlete in the competitive teams of Taekwondo athletes. Ask your coach for more information today!

We hope to see you in further training as soon as possible!

Bring a friend to training!

As soon as school starts, we spend friends' week at the gym.

During friend week, you can take a friend along to your own exercises, even if he has no previous experience in exercise.

During buddy week, the exercises are planned so that you can do the exercises with your friend, and the one who has practiced for longer advises and helps the other.

If a friend starts a hobby with Taekwondo athletes, the person who brought their friend will get a -20% discount for their next billing period! The friend offer is valid even after a week until the end of September, so all enthusiasts should bring their friends to work out.

We are having an open house on Sunday, August 30. from 12:00 to 16:00. Make sure that all your friends and acquaintances are at the gym at that time too!

Note! The friend week exercises concern basic groups. Competition exercises and additional exercises are initially unnecessarily challenging for a new experimenter.

Covid-19 is taken into account in the planning and implementation of exercises

The Covid-19 situation is better in Finland than in many other countries, but it is very important to continue to do everything we can to prevent the spread of the virus. During the summer, we have practiced according to separate instructions, which you can look at HERE >> 

For the fall season, we will give detailed instructions separately on how enthusiasts and coaches should take the instructions and guidelines into account. The most important thing is that you never come to the gym in the slightest pain and wash your hands carefully with soap before and after the exercises. 

We gained good experiences in the spring from the production of both video workouts and live workouts. In any case, more video trainings will be produced in the future and we are ready to move quickly to regularly holding live trainings again if the social situation so demands. 

We hope that the autumn term can be carried out as planned. Taking into account the virus situation is the responsibility of every enthusiast and coach.

Thank you for all the actions you have shown so far to support club activities!

    The racing season has started in Estonia.

    The competition season opened on 11.7. in Kunda, Estonia. The outdoor competition had to be moved indoors due to weather conditions, but the competition was successfully completed. There were first timers as well as more experienced conkers.

    The best performances of the day were seen from Noel Viitaniemi in the children's under 27 kg category, for which he brought home a gold medal. In addition, gold came from the business series competition.

    Luca Lonka (children -33 kg) jumped nicely despite the tough opposition. Silver from both the match and the business series.

    Tuure Silver (children 2, -36 kg) took part in his first competition and had an even, great match against a more experienced guy. In the match, attention is especially drawn to good distances and creative solutions in situations. This is good to continue.

    Egor Osadchiy (children 2, +40) brought home the bronze after a hard fight.

    Markus Liuko (cadets -37 kg) finished second in his only match. The match was good though. In addition, Markus did a creditable job helping the smaller ones warm up.

    Venne Viitaniemi (cadets -45 kg) also suffered a defeat despite an even fight.

    Plum Kopisto (junior -68 kg) and Juuli Mankonen (junior -44 kg) both had good matches, but both suffered defeat.

    Overall, the opening of the competition season was quite modest in terms of results. Almost half a year's break from proper couples training was visible in everyone's expressions. On the other hand, the basic level is still strong and with a little polishing, the result column will look completely different.

    Thanks to the whole team and especially to the parents, who took care of the travel arrangements creditably. Mari Lapinsalo coached creditably.
