The fall season started quickly with belt exams
Those who trained hard in the summer were able to increase their belt value right at the beginning of the autumn season, adults on Thursday 24.8 and juniors on Friday 25.8. Pauli oversaw the test for adults, and Petteri made sure on Friday that everyone who tried really earned their belt.
In both tests, the technical competence was excellent. A few yellow and green belt enthusiasts showed amazingly advanced technical skills, and the multi-talents who completed the upper belt grades passed section after section with commendable marks. Maybe a little more of that rumored attitude and spirit would have been needed in the belt test. The best way to dig out the last shreds of yourself in every technique and scream is to practice hard even in the basic exercises. So nothing but training and KIHAP!
Big congratulations from taekwondo athletes to those who have completed their new belt values!
