Dear Taekwondo Athlete,
Spring is already far away and some of Espoo's sports shifts end this week. Below is information about Tapiola and Kalajärvi training and summer training opportunities.
As for Tapiola, the spring Monday, Thursday and Sunday practices ended on May 7. We still practice on Tuesdays throughout May and June. At Kalajärvi school, the club's training sessions ended on May 7, 2015. During the summer, Espoo enthusiasts are expected to actively participate in the training that takes place in Konala's main hall.
Indoor competitions will be held in the spring of 2015 for the last time on May 29, everyone is brave enough to compete in a playful manner together with agreed match pairs.
Practices in Konala will continue except for the two-week break in July (7/6-7/19). Tapiola's training fee includes one 10-card to the Konala gym. Tapiola trainees get the following 10-cards at half price. The 10-card is not included in the Kalajärvi training fee, but the residents of Kalajärvi can also buy ten-cards at half price, i.e. €39.90 / 10 training sessions.
Belt tests will also be organized for the Espoo enthusiasts in Konala mentioned at the end of this message as follows:
- Tue 19.5. 7-15 years
- Wed 20.5. 3-6 years
- Thu 21.5. Adults
Participating in the belt exams requires a certain number of accumulated practice times since the previous belt exam, and because of this, not everyone can take part in the exam this time. However, the next opportunity for a belt exam comes quickly with the dawn of autumn, which means that by practicing in the summer, everyone has the opportunity to increase their belt value by the end of the summer at the latest.
We remind you that the license of the Finnish Taekwondo Association is mandatory for those participating in the belt exams. You can obtain a license through the website of the Taekwondo Federation: http://www.taekwondo.fi/ —> On the left side you can find the "BUY SPECIES LICENSE" link
