Aino Kortelainen won two world championships in Kerava on Sunday 28 August 2016 in the first wall kicking world championships. The wins came in the Open stage series for under 18-year-olds and in the Freestyle business series, which is open to everyone.<\/p>\n

Wall kicking is a close contact sport developed by Kerava, where absolute respect for the opponent (i.e. the wall) is absolutely the most important element. References and connections have been found in the early twilight of the sport to the "Vinti\u00f6t" television series that gained popularity in the 1990s, especially its "Rane ja Kerava kollit" section. Wall kicking, Kerava's capoeira, is practiced by a small but passionate group of Central New Zealanders, mostly young men, who gather to practice the finesse of the sport during rooster crowing on Saturday and Sunday mornings, mostly at local nakki kiosks by the walls located a short distance away.<\/p>\n

The competition format of the sport is new, and the world championships held now were the first competitions of the sport to enjoy official status. The competitions were held in two sports, where in order to guarantee the safety of the walls, the competitors were obliged to follow the following rules: in the Open stage sport, the competitors had 30 seconds to show their skills to the music chosen by the competition organization, at least some kicks hitting the wall was desirable; In the freestyle, i.e. movement series section, the contestants prepare a choreography lasting no more than 90 seconds to the music of their choice, which includes at least six kicks that hit the wall as shown by the organizers.<\/p>\n

Konala's two-time world champion was prepared for the arrival of the last three intense weeks by a multidisciplinary coaching team, which included Taekwondo athletes Pauli Raivio and Christian Kamphuis, and Edla Niemi from Kipin\u00e4 Valmennus Oy from Kerava. Many thanks to the entire coaching staff!<\/p>\n

Our club congratulates the new world champion!<\/strong><\/p>\n
