Start taekwondo now, open doors on August 31 and September 7, 2013

Post date 6.8.2013

In English >> по-русски>>

Come and learn about versatile taekwondo!

Right now is a great time to start practicing taekwondo. Finland's top association, Taekwondourheilijat 2011 ry organizes two open days, where anyone can get to know the sport by watching, trying and asking questions. The club's instructors are there to talk about the sport, the club and training, so the answers to mind-boggling questions can be found in Helsinki's Konala, Ruosilankuja 3 C in a row on Saturday 31 August 2013 and 7 September 2013. The doors open at 10:00 and are open until four, longer if there are enough people interested. In the future, e.g. introductory training opportunities, competitions, raffle for training months, etc. And serving coffee and juice - of course!

There is no bad age to start taekwondo, the sport is suitable for everyone. Small children learn general physical skills, and with seniors we go at a calm, but still developing pace. For the young and enthusiastic, our club offers fast-paced training and learning to compete under the leadership of our country's most successful taekwondo athletes. In our club, there are many families, where both children of different ages and parents enthusiastically pursue their own goals. So don't worry, start taekwondo now!

Autumn practice times from August 10, 2013

Post date 24.7.2013

New training groups will start in the fall.

Invictus starts from the beginning of September. It is a group aimed at talented young people, where they train for competitions. There is a separate additional fee for Invictus training and you can only join the group through entrance exams.

For 7-15-year-olds who have achieved green belt, special exercises are organized on Friday, where movement sequences and other more advanced techniques are reviewed.

On Sunday, there will be a free shift in the program, when enthusiasts who have paid the season fee can practice their own stuff. There is a black-faced instructor or assistant instructor who you can ask for tips and who will take care of order.

Teemu at the World Championships - defeat in the second match

Post date 19.7.2013

Teemu Heino started his competitive career nicely by beating the young Serbian Relja Prosenicka with a score of 5-0.

In the second round, the silver medalist of the London Olympics, Gabon's Anthony Obame, was stronger 0-1. The judges reeled for a long time about the back spin hit of the 3rd set, but did not accept it as a point performance. Teemu's career ended with this match.

Obame continued to the final and became world champion.

Teemu's performance can be considered good. Returning from a serious injury to the top of the world has been successful. It will be interesting to see if Heino will also represent Finland in the spring European Championships.

Master Games camp on 27 July 2013 for adults

Post date 18.7.2013

The Master Games are approaching, and they will be held in Italy in approx. 3 weeks. The team from Finland has been invited to the TU11 hall for the finishing camp, and now others also have the opportunity to participate in the mood of the competition team by participating in the preparatory training and at the same time supporting the team financially.

The minimum age limit for the camp is 30 years and the level of training corresponds to national team training, which means that the package is quite fast. The exercises are directed by Ari Nevalainen, who also coaches the team in the games. There you can see e.g. Joonas Soila and Kirsimarja Kuutschin, both of whom have brought more than welcome chocolates from the prize competitions.

Program

10.00 – 11.30, technique / patterns

14:00 – 15:30, sparring

The price of the camp is 20 euros for those who are not part of the competition team. The entire amount will be used to support the team's race trip! You can also come to the camp to follow the exercises, in which case the participation fee of 20 euros is optional, but of course expected.

You do not need to register for the camp in advance.

Teemu Heino represents Finland at the World Championships

Post date 9.7.2013

Teemu represents Finland and TU11

Taekwondo athletes 2011 are strongly represented at the World Championships. Finland's second representative is Teemu Heino in the men's +87 kg category. Another representative is Budokwa's Suvi Mikkonen.

Teemu has a tough race ahead of him, especially since the recovery from the surgery after the injury dragged out the decision to participate until the end. However, the finishing has gone reasonably well and the match style has also found new elements. At least success is not dependent on experience, as Teemu is the competitor with the longest career in value competitions in one tournament with Lopez from the USA.

Juho Ranta takes care of the athletes' well-being

The technical team includes Juho Ranta, who in his capacity as a physiotherapist treats both athletes to peak condition before the competition. Since the Finnish team is small, there are many tasks and the title of physiotherapist is quite broad.

Teemu will fight on Friday 19.7.

Every Taekwondo athlete naturally has their thumbs and big toes up when Teemu grapples. You can probably also follow the matches online, although the time difference presents its own challenges.

CONGRATULATIONS TO TEEMUS ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE CLUB!
