Spring practice times

The corona situation has still remained bad in the capital region, and the city plans to continue the restrictions and recommendations given in December also in January. All hobby activities taking place in the city premises have been suspended and this is also recommended for those operating in other premises. 

In December, we adapted our own activities so that all groups of children have 2 exercises in the hall and 1 online. The exercises for adults were completely moved online. In this way, we were able to create enough flexibility in the training calendar so that we can always take a half-hour break between groups. In addition, the exercises are held completely non-contact, maintaining safety distances and in small groups. The training group always remains the same. 

In light of the current situation, we decided that the exceptional schedule will also be extended in January 7.1. from However, two indoor training sessions per week are also organized for adult enthusiasts.

    A simple and flexible punching program for a taekwondo enthusiast

    Before implementing the program, learn the following movements: squat (deep, normal, half squat), parallel pull, deadlift (with a cage) and bench press.

    The training program is supposed to adapt to your sport training and other schedule. Its idea is to be easily flexible according to different needs.

    You can download a training card that you can use to easily track your training, from here>>

    Punttisali.com offers a 6-month contract for all enthusiasts and their family members for €20/month and for athletes training in competition teams for €15/month. Order your card at www.punttisali.com. Enter the hobbyist's name in the additional information.

    Basic series

    The idea of the basic set is to serve as the body of the exercise. Its measure determines the nature of the exercise.

    Basic sets are done 2-6 times per exercise. The first 2 are done as a warm-up and the next 2-4 with target weights. The last set can be shortened if the technique does not hold together or the performance freezes. If this does not happen, the weights should be increased. The target weights are therefore determined according to the size of the basic set and your own performance.

    The returns are made so that they are at least 3 minutes between sets. They can be longer, so that the heart rate recovers (Polar area 2).

    The rhythm

    The rhythm is based on periods of 4 or 5 weeks or a calendar month. There are 4 of these episodes.

    Each episode has its own so-called basic set that specifies the number of repetitions. The power is adjusted by changing the number of basic sets. The exercise lasts approx. 45 min. – 1 h. + stretching to the end, but this too can be adjusted by the number of support movements.

    The main movement is done in 2+2-4 basic sets, depending on the desired power of the exercise. The power is adjusted weekly always in the same rhythm or according to other training. An experienced trainee uses his own knowledge in power regulation.

    The power of weeks

    These rhythms are exemplary.

    5 week rhythm

    Week 1: Light, Week 2: Medium, Week 3 Hard, Week 4: Light, Week 5: Hard

    4 week rhythm

    Week 1: Light, Week 2: hard Week 3 light, Week 4: hard

     

    The rhythm of episodes

    The period is always one calendar month or 5 weeks

    Episode 1: Basic Series 10

    Episode 2: Basic Series 8

    Episode 3: Basic Set 6

    Episode 4: Basic Series 4

    Rubber bands punch

    Editing

    Your schedules, other training and injuries may require modifying the week. If you only have time to do one workout a week, do no. 1. If two, then numbers 1&2. If a single workout is too long, drop rubber bands first and then boxes/deadlifts. So, at minimum, a week's training consists of warm-up, squats and stretches. Don't shorten your training stretches!

    Various modifications of the basic set are also possible. As an example, strength endurance weighting, the returns are shortened (Polar region 3), but the weights are correspondingly lighter:

    Episode 1: Basic Series 20

    Episode 2: Basic Series 15

    Episode 3: Basic Series 10

    Episode 4: Basic Series 5

     

    A 4-month set emphasizing explosive strength and speed. Weights are lightened, recoveries are extended (up to resting heart rate/5 min, Polar zone 5) and performances at maximum speed:

     

    Episode 1: Basic Series 8

    Episode 2: Basic Set 6

    Episode 3: Basic Series 4

    Episode 4: Basic Series 2

     

    Notes on movements

    • Always do warm-up sets (first with a barbell and then with light weights) and try to listen to the condition of the day, if you feel that you are going with bolder weights.
    • The squat is done at a normal depth, although warm-up sets can be done deep. In the last period, you can increase weights and do half squats. In all squats, aim for maximum movement speed when coming up and control when coming down.
    • The parallel pull-up is preferably done as a normal performance rather than raw.
    • Flat foot for the box: Take hand movement with you. Do it either from a static position (squat with hands behind) or with lightening. Do individual performances and always step down from the box, don't jump down. Start the jump near the box and jump upwards, not forwards. Try to raise the center of gravity as much as possible.
    • When jumping with one leg, start with the easier version and use the knee lift and step only when the basic jump feels under control.

    Mobility

    Additional weight training is not meant to reduce mobility, on the contrary. To get the most out of your workout, take enough time to finish stretching and warm up. After the warm-up, different pumping of the buttocks and dynamic swinging of the leg are in order. Finally, you should do reasonably long (+10 sec.) static stretches in sets of 3, taking care to shake well between bends. Due to the demands of the sport, you should focus on this carefully and go through the big muscles of the lower body. In addition, bending of the middle and upper body must be done every single time. Set aside at least 15 minutes for stretching. but I prefer a little more, always 30 min. until. Shorten the actual strength training rather than stretching.

    Porvoo Open 2020 successful for Taekwondo athletes

    Porvoo Open 2020 was organized on October 3, 2020 at Porvoo Liikuntahalli. Corona overshadowed the arrangements and all athletes from the children's series (E/D) were excluded from the Taekwondo athletes. Because the race was small, several of our athletes also missed the series. However, the small team was capable of striking and, apart from a couple of annoying bumps, the day was a top performance.

    Cadets

    Markus Liuko

    Markus Liuko (C -37 kg) took silver in his series. Two matches and a narrow final loss were a good indication of the development in the right direction.

    Teemu Takala

    Teemu Takala (C -48 kg) faced Frans Frangen and the tight match turned into Teemu's victory. Unfortunately, Teemu injured his leg in the match and did not make it to the second match of the pool. Silver for Teemu as well.

    Juniors

    Honey La

    Honey La (B -68 kg) fought two matches and a gold medal was hung around her neck. The matches were exciting and Honey was able to improve her performance during the matches.

    Lauri Hulikkala and Plum Kopisto

    Plum and Lauri were drawn in their own series (B -68 kg) on the same side of the chart. At first, Plum took a clear victory over tall Miro Ulkuniemi. In the semifinals, Plum and Lauri met and the battle was quite intense. However, Plum was slightly better and the match was one of the best of the day. Unfortunately, the winner just injured his ankle and missed the final. Bronze for Lauri and silver for Plum.

    Adults

    Sara Quinones

    Sara Quinos had no objection to the cadets or juniors. Thus, cadet-aged Sara fought amazingly in the adult heavyweight division (R +73). Even though Sara is an exceptionally talented and skilled fighter for her age, the age difference to women in her twenties is quite large in terms of physics.

    Sara's grips were convincing and the opponents of course did their best, but Sara finally showed the place of the locker. Although the result was perhaps not surprising, the performance was still confusingly hard.

    Summary

    The race was completed with honor. However, some corona measures seemed excessive, even unreasonable. In the case of small children in particular, it would be important to take into account the security provided by your own carers in the future.

    The long competition break was visible both in the arrangements and in the sports performances. However, our own judges Lex and Ali Lahti were remarkably sharp and deserve praise for their judging.

    Valmentajan toiminut Sampo Pajulampi totesi: ”Tiivistetysti: hyvin meni. Saran voitto aikuisten sarjassa oli kyllä uskomaton veto noin yleisesti ottaen. Jos ois ollu järkevä arvonta Plumin ja Laurin sarjassa, ois siitäkin kulta ja hopea. Muuten kaikilla taso siellä missä pitääkin, eli kärjessä tai kärjen edellä.”

    Mari Lapinsalo and Eddy Quinones also worked as coaches and things went smoothly throughout the day.

    For the parents following behind the window, the situation was e.g. frustrating due to data flow problems. However, guardians play an important role in the Games from many points of view, and it will not do to be underestimated in the future.
