What do Taekwondo athletes do when the gym is closed?

The hall's doors have been closed for a couple of weeks now, and it is still impossible to predict the opening at this point. We are still monitoring the effects of the corona epidemic and the Government's recommendations in this regard on a daily basis. Of course, the most important thing is the safety of enthusiasts, instructors and their close circle.

In spite of everything, the club members have not rested on their laurels, but the development of operations and quality improvement have started to be implemented in a big way now that day-to-day operations cannot be carried out. We want to make sure that when the hall opens again, the activities can be started from the same, if not better, starting points than when the break started. Correspondingly, we have worked hard on the video workouts and scrubbed the gym down to the last corner, so that the enthusiasts can get to a clean and well-ordered training space as soon as the workouts start again.

More video lessons are constantly being produced - by training along, you can collect training notes!

We shoot and produce new video workouts constantly, and if you haven't done them yet, I'll send you to the address:

https://tu11.fi/taekwondo/virtuaalitunnit/

The password has been sent to all enthusiasts by e-mail. If you haven't received yours yet, please contact us info@taekwondourheilijat.fi.

The video lessons are intended for our entire group of enthusiasts, and there is sure to be something suitable for everyone. There are also feature exercises, and all the workouts are designed so that they can be done at home even in a small space.

Home exercisers are also allowed to collect training marks for belt tests, just like when training at the gym. In order to earn a training label, the enthusiast must do at least half an hour of self-paced sport training or specialty training at home, with or without video guidance. Workouts are marked on a free-form list and parents' signatures are taken for each workout. Enthusiasts over the age of 16 do not need to get a parent's signature. :D

Post pictures or training videos of your home workouts on social media using #tu11 #taekwondo #tu11home workouts #tu11coronafight hashtags. Also take part in the home workout challenge and see how long you can do a workout tube. In the challenge, the training streak is maintained when you post a photo or video of your own home workouts every day (1 rest day per week is allowed.) The person who completes the longest training streak will be rewarded with a surprise prize!

Live workouts online will start as soon as possible

The good thing about the virtual lessons recorded on our website is that you can watch them according to your own schedule when it suits you best. However, a joint guided exercise has its own charm, even if there is a bit space between physically. Modern technology makes it possible to hold live exercises over the network, and we are going to develop and implement this idea as soon as possible. We hope to start the live broadcasts already next week, as long as we get the technology right first. We will announce the time of live training separately.

The self-paced training program of those training in competition groups is constantly updated

The members of the competition group have been sent a self-paced training program, the main focus of which is developing basic fitness. We are constantly updating this plan and sending updated versions to group members. There is also a sample weekly program to follow.

Other enthusiasts can also follow the program in question or get training tips from it. You can find the program at the same address as our video lessons.

A big thank you to the enthusiasts who took the offers and paid the training fees!

We published a campaign a couple of weeks ago, with the help of which we hope to keep the club's cash situation at a level that operations can be continued even after the epidemic subsides. Enthusiasts have seized the offers in impressive numbers. Big thanks to you! A reminder of the benefits we offer to all enthusiasts who continue their contract:

• By paying for your next contract period (3 months) by the end of April, you will receive one additional month of exercises free of charge
• By paying for two contract seasons at once (6 months), we add two extra months to the training contract

The campaigns automatically apply to all new 3-month payment periods that start in March or April. If your payment period does not start until after this time, you can take advantage of the campaign by paying for your training period in advance. Please also inform us separately if you want to take the 6-month offer instead of the 3-month one. In addition to this, we offer those who have paid:

• Virtual classes and live training will start soon when the gym is closed
• Training programs for competition groups
• Free camps as soon as the hall is opened
• No summer break this year, but the exercises will continue without a break throughout the summer, if the situation allows
• Update or additional services for all contract types:
  • Basic agreement for adults -> A month's training right for the weight room
  • Basic contract for children -> One month training right for the children's competition team
  • Adult athlete contract -> One month's training right at the weight room. Private lesson for those who already have a contract for the gym.
  • Children's athlete contract -> Free private lesson or lesson with a couple, depending on the age of the enthusiast.

What else can we offer you now that the hall is closed?

Do you have an idea what the club could offer you enthusiasts now that the gym is closed? Tell us your idea and we will make it happen if at all possible. We reward those who sent the best ideas with club-themed products!
