Anyone interested in a taekwondo match should spend the last Saturday of March in Konala, when Kim Sinisalo will be the guest of Taekwondo athletes to direct an open match camp. The camp is aimed at enthusiasts of all ages who are interested in match taekwondo, from beginners to veterans of the competition mats.

We hope that the clubs would announce their participants together, but you can join without registering separately. One in ten enthusiasts from clubs that have registered collectively can join free of charge. The price of the camp is 30€ to be paid on the spot in cash.

Welcome aboard!

The Nordic championships continued on Sunday, January 21. for motion sequences. The competition was at a very high level and there were big teams from all the participating countries.

Fresh from the taekwondo athletes are the Nordic champions Christian and Ville , who both captured the championships in two series. Christian was awarded for the freestyle victory with the best movement sequence performance of the Games. The second gold came together with Budokwa's Frans Salme and Olli Siltanen from the U30 men's group series. Ville's championships came from the U40 men's individual series and U40 pairs together with Budokwain Triin Saviauk.

Get yourself going!

Whether you are a beginner or a specialist in kicking technique, by 7.1 at the latest. it's time to kick yourself into the taekwondo exercises. There are groups for enthusiasts of all ages and levels, and you can join at any time!

Spring practice times

There have been small changes to the practice times since autumn:

• 4-6 year olds practice on Mondays from 18:00 to 19:00 and on Saturdays from 11:00 to 12:00.
• 7-9 year olds practice on Mondays from 17:00 to 18:00, but for Wednesday and Friday the practices are an hour later at 18:00 to 19:00. The reason for the change is that there are still many more people in the age group who ride with their parents, and it can be difficult to get five to the exercises. Accordingly, 10-12- and 13-15-year-olds train earlier on Wednesday and Friday.
• There is one more movement series competition practice for Wednesday
