Color straight medals from Sweden

The business series team of taekwondo athletes did not rest much on their laurels after the German race, when the trip continued directly to Helsingborg, Sweden for the President's Cup G1 race.

In the adult series, the competition was based on the elimination system, which means that in order to reach the next round, the competitor must always be better than his opponent. Christian Kamphuis won two singles matches and thus advanced to the final. Unfortunately, the final battle ended with a small margin in favor of the Danish opponent. Silver for Christian from a tough race.

In the U-15 series, Aino Kortelainen had quite a performance, which helped her win the entire series. On top of the great performance, Aino also took silver with Alex Jürgens in the U15 pairs. Also, Alex's strong hold continued in the individual series and the result was bronze, just like in Germany. Unfortunately, Sofia Sarala did not advance to the final round in the U15 series.

Congratulations to the medalists and happy training!

General physical skills, games and games

This exercise with a complicated name started in the fall of 2019 and 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 body care.

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 body care exercises several different stretching methods are applied with the goal of an overall more mobile and healthier body. The stretches are not only limited to static and passive muscle stretches, but also joint trajectories 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

In addition, athletes have the right to use the hall for their own training. 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 match team has a great competitive spirit

Taekwondo's Finnish championships were contested this year right at the beginning of the year as part of the multi-sport event of the SM week in winter Joensuu. The victory-hungry taekwondo team jumped on the bus from Helsinki on Friday and the long drive flew by in an instant, fueled by a great sense of togetherness. On the way back on Saturday, the bus was full of tired, but even more satisfied athletes. There was also cause for victory celebrations, as no fewer than 15 championships were won in the match and five in the business series.

A few of the adult series were televised For YLE's broadcast and not Chahrazed Boughraran the match and the amazing overtime win left no one cold on the spot and certainly not behind the screens either. Adding to the value of the championship was the fact that the competition was Chahra's first in the adult leagues, even though she is still officially a junior. The chairman of the club also took the championship Teemu Heino, who took his 21st championship. The last time a man was beaten in Finland was in 1996, and not a teammate Riku Kytömäki was able to break the chain. However, for Riku, the championship is represented by a man from one weight class lower in two series. He also reached the championship in adults Bardia Mirzaei. Severi Saralan was settling for bronze.

In juniors (15-17 years) power duo Lauri Hulikkala and Plum Duplicator have been able to fight each other in recent years, but after Plum moved to a higher weight class, both had a chance for the brightest medal. The boys did a great job, championships for both. Chaimaa Boughrara also continued to have complete control in his own weight class and took the championship with quite a lot of points. Competing in juniors for the first time Juuli Mankonen immediately got into the rhythm of the match and there was no doubt about the winner as Juuli took the championship. They also won the championship Eddie Quinones. Honey La's and Renad Almalkyn the active training approach was visible as a clear development in the performances, but still silver for both in this batch.

The cadet series (12-14 years old) also saw great performances. Iines Korhonen fought as if in ecstasy and the results were also in line with it: championship in two weight classes with clear point differences. Jenny Vettenniemi showed a strong will to fight by determinedly seeking winning points until the last set of the match. The hard work was rewarded and Jenny got gold to take home. Debuted in the cadet series Teemu Takala immediately fixed the entire pot by winning his own series. Venne Viitaniemi participated in two series, one of which won gold and the other silver. Sara Quinones took gold like his brother one age class below. Markus Liuko was, as usual, quite a firecracker on the field, but despite the tight competition, he was satisfied with the bronze.

For Christian, the triple championship in business series

On the business series side Christian Kamphuis won almost everything there is to win. Christian took the championship in the tough men's under-30 series. The level of the series is told by the fact that the top three were the same in the PM competitions a few weeks ago, but this time the order changed as Christian reached the highest podium. Christian also won the freestyle series and the under-30 group series together with Turku Budokwa's Frans Salme and Olli Siltanen. The individual series championship was also won Laura Kinnunen, who, in addition to his own competition, worked as a coach for the rest of the team. Laura found great focus and precision in what she was doing. Eero Halenius was in the adult series for the first time and immediately gave good displays. Rank fifth in this round. Elina Tikkanen participated only in the group series together with HIPKO's Linda Räkköläinen and Tampere Kumgang Taekwondo's Nea Säynäjoki. The team won silver.

On the junior side, they took the championship Aino Kortelainen and Alex Jurgens from the under-17 pairs series, and both won silver in their own under-15 individual series. On the girls side Bella Buri took bronze and Sofia Saralan and Victoria Hentunen was content with fourth and fifth instead. In the group series for girls under 17 years old, there was a tight battle for positions. Aino and Sara got silver together with Kuopio Taekwondo's Airada Heikkinen. Bella, Sofia and Victoria were right behind with bronze. Luca Leskinen continued his freestyle debut a few weeks ago by grabbing bronze in the series. With a few corrections, Lucas can be quite a factor in freestyle, because there is no lack of air or skill in the turns.

In both forms of competition, a high percentage of medals went to Helsinki. Congratulations to the champions and medalists.

Bring a friend to your workouts!

In the fall, we spent the first time having friends' week at the gym, and many of the enthusiasts brought their friends along to the workouts. The next buddy week will be held at the end of January 27.-31.1. During buddy week, you can include a friend in your own exercises, even if he has no previous experience in taekwondo or other physical activities.

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! Remember to mention at the time of the first contract, whose recommendation you have joined.

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