New teacher values for taekwondo athletes

On December 3, 2015, the values of the black belt were increased in the TU11 gym. Pauli Raivio and Hannu Vikström completed their 4th dan and are now TU11's newest teacher-worthy black belts. In the same exam, Tanja Raivio increased her belt rank to 2nd dan. The test started with the basic technique section, after which Hannu and Tanja held a yellow belt test for the Kalajärvi group as part of their own belt test performance. From Kalajärvi, we returned to the Konala gym for the wrestling part of the belt test, where sweat and contact were not spared.

Teemu Heino, the holder of the belt test, was very satisfied with the test takers' performance and hard work in the tests. Big thanks also to Petteri Kauppinen, who we will hear more about very soon, as well as Emilia Lahte and Jan-Erik Wargelin, who helped in the struggle part of the test.
