Zakaria Asidah is the recent winner of the Trelleborg Open and a multiple prize medalist. He is training at our gym this week with Teemu, as both are going to represent their countries at the World Championships in Mexico in July.
In training, match technique and match drills are reviewed. The exercises are primarily aimed at adults, but younger people can join as well, because TU's own boys are there to help the juniors.
The workouts are part of the training fee for our own enthusiasts, for others we charge 10 euros/participant.
Matti Sairanen, who represents our team, is leaving on June 8. going to the Para-Taekwondo World Championships to seriously pursue a medal. The silver medalist of the previous games in the category A6 under 68 kg, is now seriously aiming for the world championship.
"In the end, the final ended 2-1 in Azer's favor, the match was extremely even", says Matti.
"Anything is possible with a good performance, but everything has to go right," says Sampo Pajulampi, who works as a coach in the competition.
In the same context, a high-level tournament will be held, when the world's top players will complete the WTF GI-ranking tournament. From Finland, the recent Nordic Champion and Olympic visitor Suvi Mikkonen is participating.

Sophia Vassilaki took gold, Teemu Heino and Tanja Lovikka silver and Aleksi Väyrynen Bronze.
Internationally, the hardest match was the meeting between Teemu and Zakharias Asidah, where Teemu Taipui lost 6-4. Even though this time there was a loss, Teemu stayed on the ride of the WC medalist, who is in great shape.
