Together with Olli Siltanen and Frans Salme, Christian Kamphuis took gold from the ranking games in Paris in the series group U-30. Christian and Essi's season opening in the individual series was good, but not quite enough for the final rounds.
The race gave a good impression of the starting season, as there were more than 500 participants.
Taekwondo athletes' first wave newsletter
It's time to get back to training routines again. There have been some small schedule changes for spring, which you should check practice times –from the side. In the newsletter below, you will find the most important information and dates that you should mark in your calendar.
Unfortunately, due to the quiet autumn and low number of registrations, no taekwondo course will be held at Kalajärvi school in spring 2017. Kalajärvi enthusiasts are warmly welcome to practice in Konala. The autumn 2017 course will be mapped separately at the end of the summer.

New taekwondo dans to Konala
20.12.2016 in the 1st dan exams held at the taekwondo athletes' gym successfully fought for their belts Jannet Wargelin and Trap. The roughly four-hour exam began Essi Labartin in connection with movement series training with warm-up and kicking technique, from which the test continued in a private lodge with basic technique and movement series. The basic techniques were quite comprehensively reviewed one by one, after which the technique was done while moving in the form. The basic technique was followed by the business series part. After that, the trainees were able to show their steering skills by pulling the warm-ups of adult enthusiasts' training, after which they moved on to the fast-paced step fight and self-defense section. During the small physical Huil, the written part of the exam was completed.
Three hours from the start of the test, we got to measure the mental and physical edge for the match technique part, the warm-ups of which were again handled by the belt coilers. Petteri Kauppinen oli tullut paikalle varta vasten pitämään huolen siitä, ettei kokelaiden otteluosuus olisi aivan piikittömillä ruusuilla tanssimista. Otteluosuudessa käytiin läpi niin old school kuin new age -tekniikkaakin ja lopuksi tietysti sparrattiin – vyökokelaat myös kaksi yhtä vastaan moodissa. Neljän tunnin jälkeen päästiin vielä taistelemaan väsymystä ja kramppeja vastaan hyppypotkuosuuteen, ja kokeen päätteeksi tehtiin vielä ”murskaukset”, jotka tällä kertaa olivat materiaalin puutteen vuoksi soveltavia, mutta osaamista ja voimantuottoa riittävällä tasolla mittaavia.
After the hall had already quieted down for the night, cramps were massaged, test feedback was given, a beautiful but manly barren belt ceremony was held, and the accompanying portrait was taken with a self-timer. The examiner congratulates the new black belts, Jan-Eric Wargelinia and Janne Ritaa, mahtavalla tsempillä läpi vedetystä dan-kokeesta. Osaamisen taso ylitti mustan vyön kriteerit kirkkaasti, vaikka muutamaan osa-alueeseen jäi vielä reilusti parannettavaakin. Toimenpiteet ”heikkouksien” korjaamiseksi käytiin alustavasti läpi ja seuraavassa kokeessa herroilta on lupa odottaa vielä entistä eheämpää kokonaisuutta ja jämäkämpää tekemistä.

The final scores of the 2016 match league have been published
The 2016 match league was wrapped up in the Parainen league finals at the end of November. The association published the final total points and series points now, although of course the winners already received their trophies in connection with the league finals. Taekwondo athletes was the third most successful match club. The second place could not have been closer, with Turku Budokwai Taekwondo only one point ahead in the total points. Euran Yong taekwondo won the combined points competition with a clear difference to the following.
Taekwondo athletes were particularly strongly represented in the cadet series. Plum won no less than two league championships from the cadets' -41 and -45 series. Hannes won the -49 series by solving a tight and even tighter twist to his name in the league finals. Eddie, on the other hand, easily won the -57 kg category. In the girls, Aino won the -33 series with a clear point difference and came second in the -29 series. Emmi's victory in the girls' -51 series was also clear. There were no wins in B-junnu and adults, but there were places. As the younger age group grows, even those series start to fill up with Taekwondo athletes and first placers.
Congratulations again to all the league medalists!

The December belt exams were held
41 new belt values from the December belt exams
The tension was palpable in the gym on Wednesday 14.12. when all junnu groups had a belt test day. As usual, the excitement turned from the first crab walks into a good cheer and hard concentration. On the children's side, Jenna and Riina awarded tiger badges to four hard-working trainers and a dragon badge to one. In the belt test, the children showed their best skills, and the badges were certainly earned at the end of an intensive hour. On the other side of the curtain, Pauli supervised first the test for yellow and green ribbons and then the test for upper belt grades. Pauli was very satisfied with the skills of both groups. On Thursday, a small group of adults took their test under Sampo's supervision, and the bar was easily crossed by the whole group.
Congratulations to everyone on their new belt ranks!
