TU athletes at camp in Madrid

The days between Christmas were spent by Emmi, Aino, Eddie, Sara and Luca in training. There was also Jenna Partanen, who is preparing for the Olympic qualifiers, and Toni Lahtinen, who trains regularly at our club's gym, but represents Loviisa. Jesus Ramal organized an international training camp with participants from California and Brazil. A gym competition was also organized at the event, where especially Eddie's 7 match wins attracted attention. Other athletes also received good feedback about their skills.

A new perspective on training was brought by Eva Calvo's coach father XIxo, who emphasized the role of creativity in training. In other exercises, the focus was on getting around the defense of the front foot and on the other hand, protection and defense.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Taekwondo athletes thank you for the past year

Even the hardest trainers need a rest now and then, and Christmas is perfect for this purpose. Right after the Christmas holidays, however, you can train again in the form of a training camp in the middle of the day. You can read a more detailed news about this from here. Some of our athletes will go to Madrid right after Christmas for the traditional winter camp of Jesus Ramal and Suvi Mikkonen. A more detailed report on their trip is expected later.

Thank you to all enthusiasts and supporters for the past year! Without your contribution, the rise to Finland's largest taekwondo club with a great finish in 2015 would not have been possible.

New belt values from the December exams

Hard work and careful work in the belt tests

In the last week of the autumn season, belt values were increased for all groups. The work was started on Tuesday by the 7-14-year-old junnu enthusiasts who started their hobby in the fall. The examiner and one of the group's coaches, Pauli Raivio, was very satisfied with the group's performance and attitude in the exam. Even the techniques and skills that were more difficult than the required level went well, and 19 new yellow belt owners deservedly walked away from the belt exam. The evening continued with the test for green ribbons and after that with the test for even higher belt values. The upper ones in particular showed great stretching in a versatile test, which, in addition to the techniques of the belt values, tested the ability to adapt to new types of training situations and applications of techniques. In general, Paul had a very positive impression of the evening. On Wednesday, Jenna Aalto took the test for 3-6 year olds, and Jenna also reported on the test in a positive tone. The belt competition culminated on Thursday in the adult test held by Teemu and Juho, where the upper belts went without sparing their speed. There was also good feedback from these tests, although a little accuracy was missed in terms of the movement sequences. The same can be signed for trains as well. In the spring, however, the opportunity to train movement sets increases rapidly, as a new group of hobbyists starts as early as January on Wednesday evenings. Taekwondo athletes recommend this group to all enthusiasts.

On behalf of the club, congratulations to those who completed the new belt rank!

Spring training calendar for taekwondo athletes

Some changes to spring practice times

As the autumn season is still coming to an end, we are already looking to the future. Konala's spring training calendar has been edited. Due to the characteristics of our sport, the size of the groups, the age distribution and the distribution of belts live constantly, which forces us to check the training calendar again every time the season ends. Some of the changes are due, for example, to the fact that during the fall two groups practicing at the same time have grown so big that the gym is starting to get small for both. Some, on the other hand, have their roots in the instructors' scheduling issues. For the sake of clarity, the group in which the enthusiast should train at any given time is listed below.

 

Group Level Hobbyists
0-3 Babies, toddlers and toddlers See the descriptions in more detail on the groups' own pages
3-6 Rudiments Beginners, one sleeve label owners
Sequel Two sleeve badges and from the yellow belt upwards
7-14 Rudiments White and yellow belts
Sequel Yellow belts with one or two green ribbons
Advanced Green belts and higher belt values
14+ Rudiments White and yellow belts
Sequel Green and blue belts
Advanced Red and black belts
Match All Everyone from yellow upwards who are interested in the match
Elite A competitive team striving for international success
Business series Buff Everyone who is interested in practicing movement sequences
Race group Business series competitions are attended by enthusiasts and athletes
