Kim Sinsialo as an instructor for the match camp

23.3. we train in top-level coaching, when Kim Sinisalo comes to direct the training of the match camp. During his taekwondo career, Kim has coached the Finnish national team and individuals, e.g. Teemu Heinoa, Juho Kostiai, Mari Lapinsaloa and many other top players in our country. In the Olympics, he represented our country as a coach twice. Today, he works as an advisor to our club and an independent taekwondo thinker in addition to his main job. Sinisalo is currently perhaps the most respected sports expert in our country and the most sought-after instructor at camps. Camp trips and coaching consultations accumulate almost every weekend around the country. So now there is real excellence available in our own gym!

The match camp is intended for everyone interested in matches. Of course, you can participate even if you don't have match experience yet. The emphasis is on basic things such as match position, movement and basic performances.

Loviisa's open success for Taekwondo athletes

A total of 11 taekwondo athletes took part in the Loviisa games. There were first timers as well as standard equipment.

Juniors

In the boys' D2 under 30kg series, Luca Leskinen suffered an opening loss to Hipko Team's Jopi Helle. In the same series, Joni Ståhl won the first match in style, but succumbed to Christmas in the semifinals. However, bronze for both boys.

In the boys' D2 under 34kg series, the first-timer Alireza Piraveisi showed convincing performances, winning both of his matches with clear numbers. So gold for Alireza with a great performance.

In the boys' D2 under 37kg series, there was a final between TU11 boys, when Megii Moullaev and Eddie Quinones both clear their way to the final. Megii was better this time and took the gold medal. Great matches from Eddie again and this time a silver medal.

In the boys' D1 under 34kg series, Sisu Salmenniemi lost in the semi-final round of a very tight and tough match in the overtime.

This time, Aaha Moullaev competed in a higher weight category, but fought nicely to a tie until the very end of the match, but had to give up in the last seconds for silver.

Sophia Vassilaki started with a win in the girls' C1 -44kg series. In the final, however, Sophia had to bow to Jyväskylä's Vilja Aalto.

Sara Quinones did not find an opponent this time in the E-jobs under 28kg series, but we hope that Sara will get to fight for the first time.

There were medals
There were medals
Adults

Among the adults, as usual, 2012's Jaakko Saha was included, for whom only one opposition was found this time. Jaakko dominated the match and took the job home in style, even though headers were forbidden in Jaakko's series this time.

Sami Leskinen was an unlucky warrior in the men's amateur series. Sami's hand was broken in the first match and the games stopped at that. Get well soon Sam!

In the women's under 49kg category, Tanja Lovikka won her first match by clear numbers, but had to admit that Jyväskylä's Lotta Linna was better in the final.

Support forces

Janne Rita represented Taekwondo athletes as a judge. The coaches are Juho Kostiainen, Juho Ranta and Petteri Kauppinen. In addition, a support group consisting of parents supported and cheered ours meritoriously.

See you at the camp!

Taekwondo competitors and the judge performed very well in the Loviisa Games and the team spirit was just right. The next competitions will be held in Nurmijärvi on 13 April, where we will hopefully see an even bigger team. Before that, you can compete in the indoor competitions on 2.4.

Score: Budo Nord Open 2013, results

Here are a couple of Eddie's father's videos of the Taekwondo athletes' warm-up, award distribution and Sara and Sophia's playful challenge match.

A handsome medal haul from Nurmijärvi for taekwondo athletes

taekwondo helsinki espo vantaa
Eddie, Megii and Luca in a group photo.

The team of taekwondo athletes mainly consisted of athletes representing our club for the first time. The tournament saw great openings from the representatives of our club. The more experienced Jaakko Saha and Megii Moullaev and the first-timer Eddie Quinones were the most successful. Especially Megii and Eddie progressed match by match. Jaakko only met his winner in the final. Jaako's rapid development and impressive main hits aroused wonder in the audience.

The Leskinen family consisted of father Sami and son Luca. Both were in their first matches and both fought well.

Sisu and Kasper moved to represent our club at the beginning of the year and competed in advanced D-juniors. Both have great physique and a lot of skill, but there is still work to be done in match performance. The bar should be set reasonably high, because both have prerequisites for anything. The coaches are Sampo Pajulampi, Teemu Heino and Juho Kostiainen.

This is good to continue to the spring league games.
