Baby taekwondo starts!

Baby Taekwondo

Baby aekwondo offers adults and babies a nice joint exercise moment. Participation does not require previous experience in self-defense and martial arts, but everyone is welcome to get to know baby taekwondo. During the lessons, we practice e.g. basic taekwondo kicks, punches and defenses, as well as exercises to strengthen muscle condition. The classes are designed so that all mothers and fathers, regardless of age, size and fitness, can participate.

The class consists of a light warm-up, technique and muscle fitness sections, and a stretching session. Although baby taekwondo is mainly aimed at adults, the baby is closely involved in almost all sections. When warming up and exercising, the baby is in the adult's lap and at the same time acts as a nice additional weight. When practicing taekwondo techniques, the baby can be placed next to the blanket for part of the time to follow the adult's exercises.

The class is best suited for babies older than 3 months who already know how to support their heads.

Baby taekwondo starts on September 17. Classes are held on Tuesdays at 2:00 PM at the Taekwondo athletes' hall in Konala at Ruosilankuja 3, Helsinki. The exercises will continue until December 17, 2013.
