On Saturday, October 1, 2011, Petteri Kauppinen increased his belt rank, and is now, along with Teemu Heino, the second 4th dan black belt of Taekwondo athletes. This increase in belt rank also formally raises Petter to the rank of teacher.
The increase in Petter's belt value is proof not only of Petter's own technical and methodological taekwondo skills, but also that the instructors of taekwondo athletes want to constantly develop their own skills as well, so that they can teach better and better taekwondo in their gyms. The purpose of the club is to offer the best taekwondo teaching in Helsinki and the whole of Finland, and the instructors' own development is necessary to fulfill this goal.
