Come and learn about the versatile hobby of taekwondo!

Right now is a great time to start practicing taekwondo. Finland's top association, the Taekwondourheilijat 2011 ry organizes an open day where anyone can get to know the sport by watching, trying and asking questions. The club's instructors will be there to talk about the sport, the club and the training, so the answers to mind-boggling questions can be found at Helsinki's Konala, Ruosilankuja 3 C on Sunday, August 23 .2015. The doors open at 11:00 and are open until four, even 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 or condition 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!

Today's program

Doors open at 11:00.

Every hour, a short taekwondo demonstration followed by a 15-minute familiarization exercise.

Autumn is coming and people are choosing their hobbies for the coming autumn and winter. We want the activities offered by Taekwondo athletes to be known to people when making a choice. That is why we ask our enthusiasts to participate in the distribution of advertisements. Ads are available at the counter from Monday.

Practices start in week 35, 27.8.

Taekwondo athletes' match training will be renewed during the fall of 2015. Match action is divided into two groups. The reason is that some of the athletes train at such a hard level that the content of the exercises becomes very demanding. In addition, the training of elite athletes cannot always take into account the needs of developing athletes, as coaches focus on the elite.

The needs of talented and amateur athletes are taken care of within the framework of the Invictus program. In addition, an Elite group will be established for athletes of the international competition level of their own age group. The limit is not absolute and athletes can move flexibly from one group to another according to the coaches' instructions.

Invictus

Developing talents and amateur athletes train at Invictus. The instructors of our own basic enthusiast group actively guide enthusiasts to the Invictus group. The goal is to learn the basic skills of the match and deepen their control. Tactics and maneuvering also play an important role in training.

The final goal of the group is individual for everyone. The first step is to participate in competitions and then raise the competition series all the way to domestic league competitions and international competitions.

Invictus group participants pay the race group fee. The club wants to inspire people to join the competition in such a way that every time they complete the color belt (8th, 4th, 6th and 2nd kup) they get a free coupon for Invictus training.

Pauli and Sampo are responsible for the group's activities, and you can ask them for more information.

Elite

The elite athletes are those who already have evidence from competitions in their own age group and goals in prestigious competitions in their own age group. Exercise programs are individual and commitment to them is essential. Invited athletes can participate in the group's exercises.

Talks improve the comfort of the hall
