The popular family courses of taekwondo athletes start in September

You can also exercise with a small child. Family groups are a joint exercise moment for child and parent. Neither of them needs to have previous experience in the sport or even exercise in general, so the course is suitable as a first introduction to sports. Of course, there is some kind of additional challenge for more experienced goers.

Our slogan Taekwondo from baby to adult is completely true, because you can already do the training with the baby. Welcome aboard!

Opening loss for Sara, but plenty of experience in big competitions

The World Cup competitions for cadets, i.e. under 15-year-olds, took place in Uzbekistan on August 7-10. Sara had earned her place in the team and fought for medals in the +58kg girls' category. In response, Sara received Taipei's I-Chin Chun, who eventually advanced to the medals in the competition. Sara opened the match well, but in a fast-paced match, the points eventually turned in Taipei's favor.

However, Sara gained valuable experience and good speed towards the upcoming European Championships!

Bring a friend to training!

As soon as school starts, we spend friends' week at the gym. During friend week, you can take a friend along to your own exercises, even if he has no previous experience in sports.

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! The friend offer is valid even after a week until the end of September, so all enthusiasts should bring their friends to work out.

We are having an open house on Sunday 11.8. from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and on Saturday 24.8. from 12:00 to 16:00. Make sure that all your friends and acquaintances are at the gym at that time too!

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

Note There may be changes to the calendar.

The taekwondo athletes' hall is closed for the middle two weeks of July while coaches and enthusiasts enjoy the Finnish summer. For those enthusiasts who have a continuous contract valid during the summer break, we will organize a replacement camp day in early autumn.
