Situation overview of taekwondo athletes 11.5.

Read here the latest information regarding the corona situation

The corona epidemic in Finland has progressed to the stage where restrictions are starting to be loosened to the extent that it is safe and justified from the point of view of the functioning of society. For example, starting in June, gatherings will be allowed for a maximum of 50 people, sports facilities will be opened and close-to-school teaching in schools will continue on May 14.

The authorities have yet to provide more detailed instructions regarding sports activities, but it goes without saying that continuing activities as quickly as possible is especially important for children and young people. Taekwondo athletes also strive to quickly return to normal training activities.

Of course, we follow the instructions of the authorities in all activities, and the safety of enthusiasts, coaches and other team members is at the center of our operations. This means that e.g. exercises and general movement and being in the gym are planned so that the probability of the virus spreading is as low as possible. In addition, live exercises online will continue at least until May.

This week's live workouts

You can find live lessons and links to participate:

https://tu11.fi/taekwondo/live/

If the page does not show the hours correctly, refresh it by pressing (f5) or from the menu of your device.

You don't need to register for live lessons in advance, it's enough to participate via the website. The link guides you to the implementation of the Zoom service, no matter what your device is. To participate, you need a smart device with a camera, such as a computer, mobile phone or tablet. You can also participate without your own video, but in that case the instructor will not be able to give you feedback.

It's worth clicking on the coach's video after the workout has started, so that it is permanently attached to your screen as an active, i.e. large, video (pin video). You should also turn the sounds off (mute) in your own video, but remember to turn them back on if you want to talk to the coach.

Please remember that you can collect training notes for the belt tests from all the video workouts and live workouts you complete. Younger enthusiasts must get their parents' signature for the completed training. Return your training entries to the gym after opening.

The age divisions are indicative and you can participate in any exercise. For young children, adult exercises may seem difficult, but that does not prevent participation.

So you can join our website's Live! from the section.

Preliminary plan for returning to gym training

18.5. from, small group exercises are held for a maximum of 10 people

With the start of schools, we have decided that in the last two weeks of May, we will organize one practice a week in the gym for all age groups at the same time as the live practices are still running. You must register for the exercises in the gym in advance on May 17. by, so that we can form equal groups. Practice times depend on the final number of registered participants and they will be notified to registered participants separately. No group accepts more than ten enthusiasts, but enough groups are established that everyone who wants to can practice.

May's exercises and being in the gym are planned so that there is no close contact in any of the exercises and a distance of more than a meter is kept from training buddies. Hands are always washed before and after exercises and training equipment is used as little as possible. Used equipment is always disinfected after use. You must not come to the exercises if you have even minor symptoms. The coach has the right to immediately remove the enthusiasts he interprets as sick from training based on his own judgment.

Escorts are not allowed to enter the hall. If you bring and take children to practice, please wait outside the front door in a shed or in the car.

Sign up for the gym exercises in May by sending an email to info@taekwondourheilijat.fi. When registering, mention the hobbyist's name, age, belt rank and whether he practices in a basic group or a competition group.

Live workouts online will continue at least for the whole of May, so enthusiasts can still train from home. 

The summer training calendar enters into force on June 1.

In June, when the gathering restrictions are relaxed, we will start more intensive training in the gym, but still with the same considerations as in the training at the end of May. We give even more detailed instructions to all enthusiasts regarding the procedures, and these are also reviewed with all groups in the gym.

In the summer, at least three exercises are organized for all age groups, of which at least one per week is carried out outside.

The summer training calendar will be published on the club's website in the next few weeks.

NOTE! In all our activities, we take into account the regulations and instructions of the authorities, so the club's policies can change quickly.

The belt exams canceled in March will be held right at the beginning of June

A large part of those invited to the March belt exam had time to pay for the exam already in March. Many thanks for this! Enthusiasts who have already paid will have priority when we organize replacement trials at the beginning of June. An invitation to the exam will be sent separately to these enthusiasts.

We will organize more belt test events later in the summer, to which enthusiasts who have diligently collected training marks from live training will be invited, for example.

For all those who paid for their training taste in March-April, a free training month will be added to their current contract

In March and April, we organized a campaign in which we offered a free training month to everyone who paid for their next payment period, and two months if you paid for two training periods at once. We can only humbly thank you for the great support you have shown to the club in a challenging situation!

Free months are added to training contracts automatically, and the next invoice appears in the email as usual only when the entire paid period and the free month have passed.

In addition to this, paid enthusiasts are offered or have been offered:

• Virtual workouts of the growing library
• Live training several times a week
• Self-paced exercise program for home training
• Possibility to borrow the club's fire mats for your own home training
• 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.

Please remember to actively follow our announcements in the future. Our most important information channel is the news section of your website, which you should read regularly.
