You can also try match training during exceptional times
When the taekwondo hobby takes you along, competitive training is a great way to increase the amount of training and find new challenges. Even though the idea of participating may seem scary, it's worth jumping in boldly!
Normally, competition training starts with amateur competition groups. During the exception period, training starts directly by participating in the competition group. You can train in a group once a week without a competition contract. The exercises take into account the level and skills of the new group members.

A new strategy for taekwondo athletes
In 2013, we defined the strategy and goals until 2021. As the season came to a close, the board reviewed the implementation of the strategy and vision. In general, the board stated that even though not all goals were achieved, one must be satisfied with the first ten-year period.
The new strategy was formulated on the basis of the old one. The vision was renewed and the formulations of the mission and values were refined to better match the goals of the operation.
Strategy
Vision 2031
In 2031, TU11 is the largest Finnish taekwondo organization with several offices and cooperative clubs.
In 2031, TU11 will be the best environment in Finland to practice taekwondo. TU11 implements its values and the operation is socially, economically and environmentally sustainable.
In 2031, TU11 will be the best national taekwondo club in all official forms of taekwondo competition, and internationally its adult athletes are at the level of prestigious competition medals.
TU11 is at the forefront of technical and athletic development.
Mission
The mission of taekwondo athletes is:
Ethically, in a sustainable way, to raise international level top athletes and people who live a sporty lifestyle, and to improve the recognition and status of taekwondo as a sport in Finland.
Set of values

The four basic values and cornerstones of the activities of taekwondo athletes are ENTHUSIASM FOR, KNOWLEDGE, PLANNING and MEDIATION. For taekwondo athletes, values are an essential part of activities and also guide everyday decision-making and practices. When the mission and vision tell why things are done and where we would like to reach, the values tell how we act and implement the mission and our journey towards the vision.

Old and new
The other day, I was talking to a few coaches I know, and a medalist from the 2003 World Championships came up. The athlete I was referring to didn't ring any bells and the explanation was ready. It was old taekwondo, without the electric armor and new tactics. The conversation continued to bother me.
Old
What was the "old" taekwondo like? It is very difficult to define, because at the same time you should indicate a clear time point for when the new one started. The taekwondo of the 1980s differed from the taekwondo of the 1990s, the taekwondo of the 1990s differed from the taekwondo of the 21st century, the taekwondo of the 21st century differed from the taekwondo of the 2010s, and the taekwondo of the 2020s will differ from the taekwondo of the 2010s and especially from the 1970s.
Taekwondo as a sport is defined by change. Most of it is the evolution of techniques, tactics and athletes, which international sports federations have tried to guide by changing the rules. Pressures from outside the sport have also affected taekwondo. The pace of development has accelerated in 2010 with the transition to electronic scoring introduced on both sides of the fold, which can be seen in the number of rule changes.
-70s 2 pcs
-80s 4 pcs
-90s 3 pcs
-00s 4 pcs
- 10th chapter 13 pcs
However, it's worth noting that even before, the longest period without rule changes was only about 5 years (1977-1982). When the World Championships are held every 2 years, only a few consecutive races have been held with exactly the same rules as the previous races.
The skyrocketing of the athletic level began at the beginning of the millennium, when taekwondo became an official Olympic sport. The number of competitors and the investment of different countries have grown significantly and there is no end in sight to the development. The earlier age of starting the sport, competing already as a child, and choosing the sport at an early age certainly have an effect.
The general development of sports and coaching is reflected in taekwondo and athletes. The top players in the world are full-time professionals, supported by a strong multidisciplinary team of experts and they train in excellent conditions. General sports coaching and sports coaching, as well as the skills of those doing coaching work, have also developed significantly. The understanding of sport, sports coaching and their relationship has taken giant leaps around the world.
Change is therefore the defining factor of the species. Without the readiness and ability to change, an athlete's career in the sport will be very short.

New
So what have you come to? WT has announced goals for a more showy match, where a lot happens and the referees' role is smaller. We have gone in this direction.
With electric armor, the hit force requirements have been eased. However, strength is a key training characteristic in the sport, especially due to the development of speed. Thinking about the requirements for power properties through slightly reduced hit forces is a clear error of thought. The number of performances has increased and speed endurance properties are increasingly required. Speed is still a key physical attribute.
In terms of skill, the requirements are higher, mainly because the hits must be more accurate than before, because the hit is not registered if the sensor does not touch the point area. In addition, armors require a certain type of hit (hit angle, direction, etc...). The extra points for techniques performed through the back have also increased the importance of the skill, although perhaps not as much as the rule junkies would have hoped.
New rules and scoring devices have enabled new techniques, and the emphasis between techniques has changed. In addition, new techniques and tactics have required solutions from the opponents, in which case new operating models have been created and thus the development of the sport has been moved forward.
The importance of mobility is also greater than before, e.g. because a main hit gives you three points instead of the previous one. In addition, with the advanced skill level of the athletes, the more difficult techniques used require more mobility. The increased importance of main points is also reflected in skillful requirements, because making main hits also requires a considerable amount of skill characteristics.
Especially for large-sized matches, the business space has decreased significantly. However, the role of the movement is still central, although the movement is more finely divided than before. In terms of movement, the skill is also emphasized with the sanctioning of falls. The smaller exercise area has also contributed to the shortening of match distances.
A significant development is also the acceleration of the rhythm of the match. Passivity is sanctioned and more happens in the match. Situations are built more and more with a combination of movement and technique, instead of movement alone.
Underneath
Although on the surface it may appear that the match is very different, the changes are only limited. The core of the sport is still the same. Taekwondo is a combat sport that requires skill and speed.
There are still plenty of options in tactics. The athlete's different physical and psychological characteristics, skills and opponent define the chosen tactic. The fundamentals of the demands placed on the athlete haven't changed much either. The key is to have a strong physique and the ability to perform difficult tasks under heavy physical and mental pressure, as well as enormous skill.
The best athletes and coaches are constantly creating new taekwondo. In the background, however, the basic factors that define the species are constantly influencing. Although the talk about new and old taekwondo is not completely without grounds, it is, at least in part, in my opinion, a kind of fogging to cover up a lack of understanding of the basics of the sport.
We would like to thank all our enthusiasts, instructors and other friends from 2020 and wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year 2021!
We will return to training virtually on 30.12. Read more about the virtual training sessions >>
