Once September starts, we can already officially talk about the beginning of autumn. Really good stuff for everyone!
A lot of taekwondo-themed events will happen in the following months as usual. Read and internalize this information to stay on track. If you want seasonal bulletins directly to your e-mail, visit the subscription on the right side of the page.
The pumsen competition season opened today in Rauma. TU was represented by Sofia, Victoria, Bella, Tiitu, Alex, Aino and Plum. As a coach, it was a pleasure to watch the performances from the side of the mat, when all the competitors performed very good sets of moves. The results showed that even during the summer, there was also time to train in addition to vacations. As usual, Plum, Aino, Sofia, Victoria and Bella performed very well in all series. Tiitu and Alex also achieved similar top performances today.
At the same time, let's open up the world of business series a little for those who haven't had time to go to the competitions yet. Exercises for movement series proceed in a few stages. First of all, of course, you have to learn the techniques and positions of the movement sequences. After this, we learn to remember the movement sequence as a whole. Then the exact making of the comma begins, when the starting and ending places and trajectories of the techniques are put in place. After that, we move on to looking at the positions and finally we learn to produce force at exactly the right points. Written like this, it sounds very easy, but in practice it required a really large number of high-quality exercises to reach top performances.
The whole team exuded a good feeling and performance, which was complemented by cheers and applause from the stands.
Thanks to the athletes and supporters. This is very good to continue towards the coming autumn dawns.

Come and learn about the versatile hobby of taekwondo!
Right now is a great time to start practicing taekwondo. The open day for taekwondo athletes is here again, and anyone can get to know the sport by watching, trying and asking questions. The club's instructors are there to talk about the sport, the club and the training, so the answers to the mind-boggling questions can be found in Konala, Helsinki, Corduroy 3 Con Saturday 26.8.2017. The doors open at 12:00 and are open until five, even longer if there are enough people interested. In the future, e.g. introductory training opportunities, competitions, raffle for training months, etc. And serving coffee and juice - of course!
There is no bad age or condition to start taekwondo, the sport is suitable for everyone. Small children learn general physical skills, and with seniors we go at a calm, but still developing pace. For the young and enthusiastic, our club offers fast-paced training and learning competitive sports under the leadership of our country's most successful taekwondo athletes. In our club, there are many families, where both children of different ages and parents enthusiastically pursue their own goals, or together in family groups. So don't worry, start taekwondo!

As new exercises, the group of young athletes will have a third weekly class and body control/acrobatics will return from their break on Sunday. Feel free to try different additional exercises in addition to the basic exercises. Ask your instructor in more detail where you should start.

The taekwondo athletes were on the move with a 24-person team in the Nurtzi Open competitions held in Nurmijärvi, where this year no less than 449 kickers competed against each other. There were no free medals when there were teams from Finland, Spain, Estonia, Sweden, Latvia, Iceland and Israel. The success of the taekwondo athletes is indicated by the fact that they went home in third place with the best club standing under their arms.
Excellent performances in the league series
The competitive spirit of the league contenders is clearly starting to be on point. There were enough top moments for everyone, but the series victories of Emmi, Tuiku, Sara, Bardia and Eddie were especially memorable. The nationalities of the opponents did not weigh much when Emmi and Tuikku's opponents fell one after the other with clear numbers. Bardia's tactics changed on the fly against the Icelandic opponent in the final when the opponent's warning account started to fill up. Bardia ran forward with speed, forcing his opponent to make repeated mistakes and finally got him to be discus. Sara and Eddie once again showed how to score points with a high percentage. Lauri, Luca and Plum also got international competition experience, but this time they lost in the opening rounds. Sam's flu froze his legs after the first round that started well. Aino won his first match, but after a long stretch in the second match, the Estonian resistance pulled a longer one. Similarly, Jenny's long Swedish resistance took the win, but Jenny's movement and swagger were amazing to watch. Unfortunately, Juri was drawn directly to the final against Eddie and took home the silver from the mutual struggle of the teammates.
In the amateurs, cheerful performance and tight twists
Iine's point mill started once again in the first match and did not stop grinding until a fair point win in the final. A hard kick combined with reasonable use promises good things in the future. Janika also won the series with a mature and accurate match. Especially Janika's business worked perfectly. The same exact and careful search for scoring positions was also shown by Aleksi, who had to stop in the middle of his second match due to a leg injury. Venne, Henri and Joonas each won their opening matches, but had to admit defeat in others. Opening losses for Risto, Frans, Kaisla, Teemu and Markus.
Juho, Pauli, Riina were the coaches in the games and Alberto Celestrin was the guest star. A big thank you to Alberto and the other coaches, as well as the whole team and the maintenance crew!
16 medals from the first business series competitions of the season
Lohja Open 2017 opened the competition season of domestic business series on Saturday 11.3. The games had a record number of participants and a total of 32 series were played. Of these, Taekwondo athletes were represented in 13 series, 16 of which won a medal. Officially, the best team was not awarded, but it's hard to say better!
From the ranking series, Plum got bronze for cadet boys as well as under 17-parwith Mia from the Espoo Hwarang Team. Aino and Sara competed with a special permit in the cadet series much younger than the others, but it seemed that age doesn't matter much by grabbing a double win in the series. Gold for Aino and silver for Sara. Bronze for Aino, Sara and EHT's Mia from the under 17 group. Bronze for Christian in both the under 30 men and the elimination series.
In the yellow women, Maija took silver, a really great performance from a first-timer! The minion trio Bella, Victoria and Sofia roared both among amateur women and among the lynx in their own age group. Gold for Bella in green women, green lynxes, lynx couples with Victoria and amateur group with Victoria and Sofia. Victoria also took gold from blue ladies and blue lynxes. Sofia took her lynx series as a warm-up and saved the bangs for the amateurs, from which the silver came off right after Victoria's gold. Bella and Victoria disturbed even more in the pairs of upper belts by taking silver there as well. The wild results and the number of sets speak once again about the effectiveness of the coaching activities and the athletes' goal-oriented approach to training. So thank you to the poomsa coaches, athletes and supporters!
Essi and Petteri acted as coaches in the competition.
