The search for spring coach training for taekwondo athletes is underway

Are you a coach for Taekwondo athletes?

Taekwondo athletes started a new type of coach training in the fall of 2019, where the main focus of the training is on practical guidance under the guidance of mentors who have coached for longer. The training went well and the next basic level training will start in the spring. If you have at least a red belt and are at least 16 years old, you are welcome to join the training. Ask more at the gym, send an email or read an older article about training from here. 

New coaches for Taekwondo athletes from fall training

A total of 7 coach trainees passed the autumn coaching training, a large part of which will be seen in real action as soon as the spring season begins. Congratulations to the new coaches and welcome to join the ranks of coaches!

Spring practice times

The spring practice times can be found now from the practice times page.

As a rule, practice times remain the same, but small changes are made to optimize coach resources and group sizes.

Please note that both the amateur match and the amateur sports series have been established for children as new enthusiasts on Thursdays, which are included in the price of the basic training. You shouldn't miss these workouts. The most enthusiastic trainers certainly join the competition teams.

There may still be changes to practice times.

Taekwondo athletes struck a golden vein in the match at the World Championships

The balance of the match team is 11 Finnish championships, 4 silver and 3 bronze

The Finnish championships of the match were decided in Eura on Saturday 23.11. and the Taekwondo athletes' Provincial trip turned into a real bandit trip. Precious metal could be carried home with two hands! The top atmosphere of the trip was emphasized by the shared transportation by bus. If the bus was still fairly calm in the early morning twilight of the outward journey, the other extreme was reached on the way back, with the contestants celebrating their championships and enjoying great company.

In the cadets, he played the most matches A boat which competed for championships in two series. Venne fought with concentration from one match to the next and didn't really give his opponents room to play. I think one of the opponent's baby teeth came out in the noise. Venne stylishly won the cadets' -37 kg category and also advanced to the finals in the -41 kg category. Unfortunately, the firecracker's left knee was so bad that there was no reason to go to the finals, even if Venne himself had been there.

There was no lack of concentration either From Jenny and from Iine, who managed to become champions in the cadet girls' -37kg and -41kg series. The opponents were familiar and the matches could have turned out any way. However, the girls followed the agreed tactics wonderfully, so the championships went on their way to Helsinki.

Sedge had to wait a long day for his only match. Her legs may not have been at their sharpest anymore, but Sara still took care of the match home with a hard routine. The opponent's protection was good, but Sara's foot found its way to the helmet with pinpoint accuracy. They were also accurate Janika's the hits that paved the way to the final. Also in the final, Janika's grips were excellent, but the opponent still pulled a longer stroke. Nicely silver and definitely left hungry for the next time.

As participants in the Finnish championships for the first time, they fought for the medals Markus, Honey and Renad and the trio won the medals in the straight line. The brightest medal was hung around Markus's neck after the heart-pounding action of the cadet boys -33 final. The thriller, which stretched all the way to extra time, finally ended when Markus sank his foot into the opponent's helmet after several near-miss attempts. Honey, on the other hand, was responsible for some kind of unofficial points record, managing to forge 75 points in two sets in her opening match before the point difference mercifully stopped the match. Unfortunately, the bangs ran out a bit in the final and Honey had to settle for silver. Renad suffered an opening defeat this time, but his will to fight did not stop. A couple of technical fixes and these will be turned into a win.

In junior leagues Plum and Lauri as usual, both represented in the boys' -63-kilogram category, but, contrary to tradition, there was no mutual final this time. Lauri's road ended sadly in the semi-finals, but there were no two words about the championship of the series as Plum forged his way to the championship in the final. If style points were collected in the match, Plum would have taken the championship all together. Eddie got to bow out the outright championship.

Junior girls Chaimaa and Alina dominated their respective series and both left the Euro as Finnish champions. In Chaimaa's opening match, it was not necessary to think long about the winner. In the final, it took Chaimaa a while to find her rhythm, but when she found it, quite a few fireworks started. In Alina's final, it was possible to get excited for a while, which way the match would turn, but when Alina increased her own power, the opponent could no longer stay on board.

In adults, il Maestro Teemu already collected his 20th or 21st Finnish championship, depending on the method of calculation. In the first match, he himself, who collected SM medals as a junkie, fell Rick, who set out without prejudice to challenge the giants of the heavyweight division, even though he doesn't have significant competition experience from recent years. Bard styled to win the series without leaving anything to chance. We even saw one of Bardia's iconic ventilation hoods in the middle of the match, anyway. Severus was in an excellent competitive mood and did his semares quite spectacularly. In the final, a swollen metatarsal hindered his work, but the championship was still not far from Sever.

In the competition, Koutseina had a blast Fatima, Juho, Pauli, Sampo and Teemu. It was easy for Koutsie to be the same smile as the athletes grabbed victories and showed great will to fight and team spirit. It is very good to package the autumn competition season for this race. Next, we will get to enjoy a fun time together right next week at the season-ending parties of the competition groups. That's where the preparation for the early spring competitions, such as the Nordic championships, begins little by little.

Judgments were handed out meritoriously Ali, Alex and Vlad.

Big congratulations to all the medalists!

Taekwondo athletes' buddy week is here again!

Bring a friend to your workouts!

In August, the first friends' week was held at the gym, and many of the enthusiasts brought their friends along to the workouts. The next friend week will be held at the end of November 25.-30.11. During buddy week, you can include a friend in your own exercises, even if he has no previous experience in taekwondo or other physical activities.

During buddy week, the exercises are planned so that you can do the exercises with your friend, and the one who has practiced for longer advises and helps the other.

If a friend starts a hobby with Taekwondo athletes, the person who brought their friend will get a -20% discount for their next billing period! Remember to mention at the time of the first contract, whose recommendation you have joined.

Note! The friend week exercises concern basic groups. Competition exercises and additional exercises are unnecessarily challenging for a new experimenter at first.

In cooperation with Taekwondo athletes – Pohjola Hospital

Pohjola Hospital has invested heavily in supporting Finnish sports and sports clubs. At the beginning of the summer, Taekwondo athletes also started cooperating with Pohjola Hospital, and those who spent time in the gym hardly missed the posters on the curtains and walls. Pohjola Hospital's sports manager Tero Sinisalo visited the venues and presented the opportunities offered by club cooperation. As one example, we will soon be able to organize training aimed at the prevention of injuries for our coaches and the active members of the competition teams. Reciprocally, Pohjola Hospital's staff went to celebrate a work well-being day in the summer as a sign of kicking.

Taekwondo is a relatively safe form of exercise and sport, but injury situations cannot be completely excluded. Pohjola Hospital's treatment path offers concrete and easy instructions for accident situations. In uncertain situations, an expert's judgment is always the best. The license insurance purchased in connection with the license of the Taekwondo Association is the best way to take care of the coverage of the sports insurance.

Enthusiastic testers achieved new belt values in the October exams

The October belt exams have been received in the package as the autumn season is approaching its second half. In addition to technical competence, the belt test tests skill, effort and willpower, and these were found in every group. A group of white-skinned children deserves a special mention in this regard, who pulled the test from start to finish with great energy. Pauli, who received the belt exams, was overall very satisfied with the level of the groups.

Most of the enthusiasts who started their hobby in the fall take their first yellow belt exam in December. Nice to see the energy with which these groups take up the challenge.

Big congratulations to everyone who completed the new belt rank!
