The last indoor competitions of the fall on Friday 9.12.

Post date 25.11.2016

Indoor competitions in September

The last indoor competitions of the autumn season are held on Friday 9.12.

Participation is free for everyone, and you do not need to register separately. Competitors from outside the club are also warmly welcome.

17:00-19:00 – E, D, and C2

19:00-21:00 – C1, B1, A1 and H (can be started on a rolling basis even earlier at the end of the junnum races)

If you are not sure which group you should join, feel free to contact the coaches. In particular, it is worth asking for the larger C2 shunts if more suitable resistors could be found in a later shift. We encourage all new enthusiasts to participate in the games, even if they don't even know what competing means. The first time you can look at the moods or even try it yourself if you feel like it.

You can borrow the missing protectors from the club, but we recommend everyone to buy their own training protectors. Ask more from the gym's equipment store and coaches.

Note! No other exercises will be organized on the day of the Salika competition.

A huge haul of trophies from the Ambassador's Cup

Post date 12.11.2016

The Ambassador's Cup, organized for the second time, gathered taekwondo people to compete both in movement series and in a match in Vantaa's Tikkurila on November 12, 2016. Taekwondo athletes had a strong representation in both forms of competition, and we can be very satisfied with the day's performances.

Competitors at a good pace

The taekwondo athletes had no fewer than 29 representatives in the match series, so there was enough excitement for the whole day. The huge trophy haul shows that there were enough top moments and successes. A busy coach doesn't quite notice all the tricks, but at least Paul remembered Venne's gutsy three-win fight for a series win, Lauri's accurate spot-kicks, Iines' ferocious kicking power, Jenny's tremendous self-confidence, Janika's tactical skills, Plum's solid work ethic, Aleksi's will to win, Bardia's struggle against the Estonian hurray, and Jaden's , Markus and Kaisla's brave first contact on the national competition mats. Many other things also fell into place, and as said, one coach's eye is not enough to see everyone.

Sampo, Pauli, Juho, Riina, Petteri and Teemu were responsible for the coaching on the match side. The exchange of words between the coaches after the games was very positive. As the season draws to a close, many goals can already be considered fulfilled for the fall. Another big thank you from the coaching team to all the competitors and congratulations on your success!

An efficient and stylish team in the business series

The team of taekwondo athletes got in shape for competition under the treatment of the team's official stylist, Somporn Kopisto. The team was easily the most stylish of the games and there was no doubt about their efficiency. The coaches are Juho Ranta and Essi Labart. Of course, Essi managed to grab gold in both of his series before this. In general, the upswing of business series athletes that continued throughout the fall continued again at the Ambassador's Cup. Essi was satisfied and proud of the team's performance, and Juhokaa did not spare hyperbole in his later report.

The club and the coaching team congratulate the winners!

Special thanks to Subaru, who provided the team with subs at the end of the race! #hankssubaru

Bronze for Jenna and Sara and gold for Eddie from Riga

Post date 9.10.2016

Jenna Partanen and Eddie Quinones were responsible for TU11's medals at the G1 tournament held in Riga on October 8 and 9. In addition, Sara took bronze in the children's tournament organized in connection with the competition.

Jenna competed on Saturday and initially faced the Russian Nadezha Glyshko. The match went under Jenna's control and ended 7-4. Next in the round, the familiar Polish Ulfig Jagoda met. With the new match concept, the result of an even match was 7-1 for the Pole, but Jenna was able to do the right things nicely. When the system can be run in completely, the Pole is also in trouble.

Eddie Quinones competed in the cadet boys' -61 kg category. He had a straight final that might not have been Eddie's best but was enough for a 3-2 win. The medal cabinet is handsome, because within a year Eddie has won 2 G1 races and was once silver.

Luca, Sara, Severi, Teemu and Tuikku missed the first round this time.
