    Versatile training pays off

    Taekwondo athletes offers a comprehensive package of additional training for enthusiasts

    In the basic groups of taekwondo athletes, all aspects of the sport are practiced comprehensively and physical qualities are developed in a variety of ways. In addition to these, the price of the basic contract includes a comprehensive package of various additional exercises with which you can deepen your skills in a certain area or raise your fitness to a new level.

    We recommend to all our enthusiasts at least one additional exercise per week in addition to the basic exercises. The most enthusiastic, of course, choose workouts for almost every day.

    An amateur match

    In the amateur match, you get to know the basics of match taekwondo and, of course, you also have sparring matches with a calm attitude. In an amateur match, safety comes first and protection is always carried during training. The group is suitable for anyone over the age of 12 who is interested in the match. For enthusiasts younger than this, we recommend the Monday children's competition group, where you can visit without an athlete contract. The amateur match is also a good starting point for those who aim to train in competitive groups.

    Hobby shop series

    In the amateur movement series on Monday, the basics of movement series are practiced and, of course, new movement series are studied. In the training, we also dig deeper than basic training into the secrets of steps, hand techniques, kicks and power generation. A very good workout for all enthusiasts, for example as part of a belt test. All enthusiasts who have learned the first set of movements can join the exercise. 

    General physical skills, games and games

    This exercise with a complicated name started in the fall of 2019 and is intended for all enthusiasts aged 7-15. As the name suggests, the training involves practicing physical skills comprehensively, taking into account the requirements of children and young people's periods of sensitivity. We especially emphasize acrobatics, mobility, body control, coordination and speed training. The group is a successor to the previously held acrobatics group, so all enthusiasts interested in acrobatics can join. In the classes, we also play various physical games and play games that develop the aforementioned qualities.

    Accompanying training for adults

    Additional training for adults consists of three separate exercises, fitness circuit, core and body care.

    Fitness circuit is a high-performance muscle fitness and endurance exercise. Movements are performed either with the body's own weight or with small additional weights. The main focus in the exercises is on practicing basic strength and strength endurance with the help of changing themes. The fitness circuits are suitable for beginners as well as wash-resistant strongmen and women. The number of repetitions and intensity can be customized to suit everyone.

    Core-exercises focus on strengthening the muscles of the upper body. The goal is to build a strong core that supports other training, supports body control and mobility, and prevents back and joint problems.

    In body care exercises several different stretching methods are applied with the goal of an overall more mobile and healthier body. The stretches are not only limited to static and passive muscle stretches, but also joint trajectories and active stretching are taken into account. The stretching exercise is specially designed to support taekwondo training, but is suitable for everyone who is interested in a better moving and stretching body.

    Free exercise

    Enthusiasts over the age of 15 can also train independently at the gym on Saturdays from 13:00 to 14:00. There is an instructor there, from whom you can ask for tips for your own training if necessary.

    Racing groups

    Competition groups have a slightly more expensive fee than basic groups, but this fee entitles you to attend all possible exercises that can be found in the gym. In addition, athletes have the right to use the hall for their own training. Athletes with different goals train in competition groups, but all of them have in common a strong desire to improve and to put in the effort for results. Maybe you too will become an athlete in the competitive teams of Taekwondo athletes. Ask your coach for more information today!

    We hope to see you in further training as soon as possible!

    Taekwondo athletes' friend week 12.-16.8.

    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.
