The first steps of the competitor's path in Taekwondo athletes

Starting a hobby

In taekwondo athletes, everyone starts in basic groups, from which coaches guide them forward. Already experienced competitors who continue their previous hobby in Taekwondo athletes move directly to competition groups. You can move from the basic groups to a try-out amateur match after only a few weeks of practicing. Basic skills are practiced in basic groups, which provide a good foundation for competitive hobbies and sports in the future.

Amateur competition groups

After just a short hobby, the hobbyist can move to hobbyist racing groups. Their purpose is to familiarize the enthusiast with competitive taekwondo and the basic skills of sports. The threshold for the groups is low and participation in them is included in the basic hobby fee. In taekwondo, you compete both in a match and in movement series, and both have their own groups. In the beginning, it is possible and absolutely useful to familiarize yourself with both forms of competition.

Indoor competitions

You can participate in indoor competitions if you have practiced for about half a year in basic groups or have participated in amateur competition groups. Absolute beginners can also participate, but mastering the basic skills gives a better basis to benefit from indoor competitions. If the enthusiast does not yet want to try fighting or performing a set of moves, just coming and watching the event gives a good starting point for participating next time.

The idea of indoor competitions is to provide a way to get to know competitions in a familiar indoor environment. The rules are applied according to the experience level of the participants. At the beginning of the event, we warm up and go over the basics of the rules. The intricacies of the rules are clarified and how to act in a competitive situation is reviewed as the event progresses.

Competitions in children's and hobbyists' series

In the actual competition events, the athletes are divided into different series according to their experience level, and in the match, they are also divided into weight classes. The rules are applied to be suitable for beginners, e.g. head contact is not used in the beginner's series. At the competition event, the coaches help and support the enthusiast, trying to make the competition experience a positive one. Everyone is nervous about their first performances, but overcoming the tension and doing your own performance gives you the confidence to participate in more challenging tournaments.

Racing groups

After the athlete has tried his wings in amateur competition groups, indoor competitions and possibly also in real competitions, he can move on to competition groups. Commitment and training volumes increase as the hobbyist develops towards an athlete's lifestyle. Competition groups offer more and more training opportunities and the training fee is slightly higher. In addition, the members of the competition group have at their disposal e.g. free training sessions for independent training, support from a physio and occupational therapist and a gym at reduced prices.

Coaches support training and, especially for younger people, parental support becomes more and more important.

Competing in ranking series at home and tournaments abroad

Once the start has been reached, the athlete has an open path all the way to the World Championships (match and movement series) and the Olympics (match). However, success requires perseverance and success at the top is behind hard work. Competing at the top national and international level is rewarding, however, and the acquired experiences carry far into later civilian life!

TU11 strongly represented in the youth and cadet national teams

”Maajoukkuevalinnat osoittavat vastaansanomattomasti, että pitkäjänteinen pyrkimys kohti parempaa valmennusta ja olosuhteita kantaa hedelmää. Tietysti tärkein tekijä on nuorten urheilijoiden tinkimätön työ ja panostus urheilemiseen”, toteaa seuran valmennuksesta vastaava Sampo Pajulampi ja jatkaa: ”Saavutettu menestys haastaa myös seuran kehittämään toimintaansa edelleen, jotta menestymisen edellytykset voidaan taata aina aikuishuipulle asti.”

Now the selected athletes do not get to measure their level on international fields, because WT has canceled practically all value competitions for this year.

Taekwondo athletes 2011 warmly congratulates those selected for the national teams. In addition, the club would like to thank all the coaches, parents and others who supported us along the way. We express our special thanks To Autokeskus and To Pohjola Hospital for your support on the way to success.

The racing season has started in Estonia.

The competition season opened on 11.7. in Kunda, Estonia. The outdoor competition had to be moved indoors due to weather conditions, but the competition was successfully completed. There were first timers as well as more experienced conkers.

The best performances of the day were seen from Noel Viitaniemi in the children's under 27 kg category, for which he brought home a gold medal. In addition, gold came from the business series competition.

Luca Lonka (children -33 kg) jumped nicely despite the tough opposition. Silver from both the match and the business series.

Tuure Silver (children 2, -36 kg) took part in his first competition and had an even, great match against a more experienced guy. In the match, attention is especially drawn to good distances and creative solutions in situations. This is good to continue.

Egor Osadchiy (children 2, +40) brought home the bronze after a hard fight.

Markus Liuko (cadets -37 kg) finished second in his only match. The match was good though. In addition, Markus did a creditable job helping the smaller ones warm up.

Venne Viitaniemi (cadets -45 kg) also suffered a defeat despite an even fight.

Plum Kopisto (junior -68 kg) and Juuli Mankonen (junior -44 kg) both had good matches, but both suffered defeat.

Overall, the opening of the competition season was quite modest in terms of results. Almost half a year's break from proper couples training was visible in everyone's expressions. On the other hand, the basic level is still strong and with a little polishing, the result column will look completely different.

Thanks to the whole team and especially to the parents, who took care of the travel arrangements creditably. Mari Lapinsalo coached creditably.
