The fall season for taekwondo athletes starts on August 17.

In autumn, plenty of exercises are available for all age groups

The training times for the autumn season come into force on Monday 17.8.

You can check the practice times in advance HERE >>

In the autumn calendar, there are groups for independent training starting from the age of 3, and in the family courses, even the younger ones can practice this together with their parents. 

The age groups are divided into level groups according to the completed belt value. If you are not sure in which level group you should train, feel free to ask your coach. However, the level groups always train at the same time, so switching between groups is easy. 

Getting Started in Taekwondo 

Starting Taekwondo at Taekwondo Athletes is very easy:

  1. Check your group's practice times and group description HERE >>
  2. Pack your training bag and head to the gym at Ristipellontie 1A
  3. Take part in your first exercises and fill out the registration form at the gym 
  4. Get to know the sport and follow me at your leisure for two weeks without commitment! 

Read more about getting started HERE >>

Family courses and school groups must be registered separately ON THE COURSE PAGE >>

Welcome aboard! 

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!

      Deepen your skills - book a private lesson

      In addition to basic exercises and additional exercises, Taekwondo athletes offer private lessons for enthusiasts who want to deepen their skills in a specific area effectively. 

      In a private lesson, the enthusiast and the coach focus closely on the training of a single area, and the enthusiast receives immediate and continuous feedback on their performance. Because of this, a lot of progress is made in just one hour. Private lessons are also held for two enthusiasts or small groups.

      Advantages of private lessons:

      • You can practice exactly the area in which you want to improve. E.g:
        • Match technique 
        • A new range of motion or refining of range of motion
        • Basic technique and steps
        • Self-defense and step fights
        • Preparing for the belt exam
        • Physical training 
        • Weight training
      • You will receive immediate and continuous feedback on your performance 
      • You can arrange an hour flexibly according to your own schedule
      • Affordable price 

      This is how you book a private lesson

      See the training time that suits you from the training calendar >>

      We have set the times in the calendar when our coaches are available for private lessons, but you can suggest a time outside of these as well. 

      Send an email to info@tu11.fi.main.hoste.fi and book an hour. At the same time, tell us what subject you would like to practice and we will book a coach accordingly. You can also book a lesson directly from the trainers in the gym. Race team members can use Slack to book an hour. 

      You can still agree with the coach about the details. We will send the invoice an hour after that. Get a training mark for the belt tests. 

      Note! Please remember that we offer all children's competition group members a free private lesson in the summer, if the training contract was valid when the gym was closed in late spring.

      Rehearsals continue on June 1.

      Taekwondo can also be started in the summer

      The Covid-19 epidemic has shown signs of abating in Finland, and restrictions are gradually being eased and lifted. Taekwondo athletes will also return to the training activities organized in the gym right from the beginning of June.

      We are all jointly responsible for ensuring that the epidemic does not start accelerating again in Finland. Precautions and anticipation are at the center of all training and activities in the gym.

      Read more about measures and changes in training methods >>

      For a couple of months now, we have been training with the help of video workouts and live broadcasts. It's nice to be able to start the actual exercises in the gym again.

      Beginner groups and advanced groups train in the same groups during the summer, but the age group division remains unchanged. The workouts are designed so that new enthusiasts can easily join in, but there is also a challenge level for the more experienced. In addition, many types of additional training are available for enthusiasts who have more time.

      For new enthusiasts:

      1. Check the training times for your age group from the training calendar 
      2. Pack clothes suitable for indoor exercise and a water bottle in a training bag and head out to the gym 
      3. The coach will give you a registration form to fill out and give you practical instructions for getting started. 
      4. Come along to your first training sessions. The exercises are designed so that even beginners can keep up with the pace. 
      5. Feel free to try the hobby for two weeks before you decide to continue. 

      For old enthusiasts:

      • Check the summer practice times.
      • In addition to the basic workouts, choose at least an additional workout / week aimed at your age group. The hardest trainers go through all possible exercises. 
      • Also take a friend with you to the training! 
      • If you paid the training fees for the time the gym is closed, you will get additional services free of charge this summer. Ask your coach for more information. 
      • Please note that some of the training sessions are held outside in the summer
        • Children's outdoor training: meeting in the hall's lower hall. Equipment according to the weather. You don't have to be a dobok. 
        • Hill training for adults: gathering at Malminkartano's waste hill at the bottom of the stairs. Equipment suitable for running. 
        • Athletes' outdoor training will be announced separately Slack through.

      It is completely understandable that during the last few months the training may have been less and especially the movement sets may need reminiscing. Some of the enthusiasts who have time to pay for the March belt exams also have a replacement exam in the second week of June, which may also cause a few extra spots in terms of movement sets. 

      We promised to organize free events in the summer for enthusiasts who paid their training fees even when the gym was closed. This poomsa camp is the first of these camps and more will follow later. 

      If your contract has not been valid, you can still participate in the camp for €25 or €10/practice.

      Timing:
      Saturday 6.6.

      Schedule:
      12:00-13:00 Poomsae 1-2
      13:00-13:30 Break
      13:30-14:30 Poomsae 3-4
      14:30-15:00 Break
      15:00-16:00 Poomsae 5-6

        Hey,

        The exercises will continue next week and we will train all summer! Have you already checked your training times on the website? In the summer training, we take the necessary precautions into account and part of the training is done outside with each group. In June, the benefits that we offer for all contracts to those who paid their training fee during the corona period will also start.

        Content of the situation review:

        • This week's live workouts
        • Summer practice times effective June 1.

The link guides you to the implementation of the Zoom service, no matter what your device is. To participate, you need a smart device with a camera, such as a computer, mobile phone or tablet. You can also participate without your own video, but in that case the instructor will not be able to give you feedback.

        It's worth clicking on the coach's video after the workout has started, so that it is permanently attached to your screen as an active, i.e. large, video (pin video). You should also turn the sound off (mute) in your own video, but remember to turn it back on if you want to talk to the coach.

        Please remember that you can collect training notes for the belt tests from all the video workouts and live workouts you complete. Younger enthusiasts must get their parents' signature for the completed training. Return your training entries to the gym after opening.

        The age divisions are indicative and you can participate in any exercise. For young children, adult exercises may seem difficult, but that does not prevent participation.

        • The exercises are designed so that close contact is taken as little as possible. In pair training, the same pair is kept throughout the training and the equipment used in the training is also not rotated from one pair to another. At the end of the day, the equipment used is disinfected.
        • Shouting (kihap) is avoided in training. 
        • The cleaning of the hall will be increased and made more efficient.
        • Hand sanitizer is available at the hall counter, but we recommend washing your hands with soap.

        Summer practice times

        The summer practice times have been published on the practice times page! and they enter into force on June 1.

        When the gathering restrictions are relaxed, 50 people can return to relatively normal training. Of course, it is clear that precautions must still be taken into account in all activities and planning of exercises. We publish detailed instructions for all enthusiasts before the start of summer training, and they are also reviewed with each group in the gym. 

        There is plenty of training in the summer, so now is an excellent opportunity to make up if your own training has fallen short since the end of spring. For example, there are 9 weekly classes for adults to choose from. The hardest trainers certainly make use of all the training!

        Some of the exercises are carried out outside.

        See you at the gym!

        The summer training calendar enters into force on June 1. and it will be published this week on the club's website at:

        https://tu11.fi/taekwondo/harjoitusajat/

        Summer training

        In June, when the gathering restrictions are relaxed, we will start training more closely in the gym, but still taking into account the necessary precautions and the prevailing restrictions and recommendations. We give even more detailed instructions to all enthusiasts regarding the procedures, and these are also reviewed with all groups in the gym.

        In the summer, at least three exercises are organized for all age groups, of which at least one per week is carried out outside.

        The exercises and being in the gym at the beginning of June are planned so that there is no close contact in any of the exercises and a distance of more than a meter is kept from the training buddies. Hands are always washed before and after exercises and training equipment is used as little as possible. The equipment used is always disinfected at the end of the day. You must not come to the exercises in pain, so stay home if you have even minor symptoms. The coach has the right to immediately remove the enthusiasts he interprets as sick from training based on his own judgment.

        The summer training calendar will be published this week on the club's website.

        NOTE! In all our actions, we take into account the regulations and guidelines of the authorities, so policies can change quickly.

        The belt exams canceled in March will be held right at the beginning of June

        A large part of those invited to the March belt exam had time to pay for the exam already in March. Many thanks for this! Enthusiasts who have already paid will have priority when we organize replacement trials at the beginning of June. An invitation to the exam will be sent separately to these enthusiasts.

        We will organize more belt test events later in the summer, to which enthusiasts who have diligently collected training marks from live training will be invited, for example.

        For all those who paid for their training taste in March-April, a free training month will be added to their current contract
