In the March belt tests, 42 new belt values were completed in five different tests. The level of performance was generally good, especially in terms of match skills, kicking techniques and movement sequences. As a new service, everyone from the green belt upwards has also received personal feedback on the belt test by email. With the help of feedback, you can advance your own development more and more easily by paying attention to the things that came to light from the feedback.
Congratulations to everyone on their new belt ranks!
The taekwondo athletes' movement series team hunted for medals with great success at the Lohja Open. What made the competition particularly interesting was that Bella, Vickan and Sofia, who had made a clear mark in the lynx series, made their debut in the cadet series against tougher opponents with an even wider menu of movement series. A little tension was visible e.g. in that, while still warming up, we thought about the sequences of the techniques of the recently learned movement sequences.
However, the tension was not reflected in the competition performance, but the work was sure and the team's overall mood was particularly positive. The team's mutual encouragement and team spirit garnered praise from the coaches Laura and Petter. Laura also competed herself and took bronze in the U40 women's category. In cadet boys, both second and third place went to taekwondo athletes, with Plum taking silver and Alex immediately following with bronze. Plum's silver streak was continued in the pairs series, where the medal was won with EHT's Mia Knutsson. Bella's cadet career got off to a great start when the day's performances were rewarded with a bronze medal. Similarly, the power trio of Bella, Vickan and Sofia was once again successful by coming second in the U17 groups. In the U30 groups, Elina took gold with Nea Säynäjoki (Tampere Kumgang) and Linda Räkköläinen (HIPKO). Maija also styled to victory in the green belt women's series.
As mentioned, the coaches were very satisfied with the team's performance and the development from the last games was again clearly visible. A few technical mistakes were also visible, and Laura reminded the importance of concentration in all techniques, including bows and shouts in every exercise.
Big congratulations to all the medalists!

The Finnish business league team was extremely successful on February 24-25. in the organized German Open competition. Medals were won, even though the series were quite big and the level was generally tough. Taekwondo athletes also took their share of this medal haul.
Aino's amazing performances brought gold from the girls' 8-11 year old series, as Aino left 11 other girls behind. Last year's EC bronze team of Christian, Olli (Budokwai) and Frans (Budokwai) has continued to perform hard in one race after another, and even now a strong synchro performance brought silver to their necks. The performance of the cadet trio of Sara, Helmi (Pori) and Mia (EHT) was also strong, and the bronze medal shows the excellent success of the day. Similarly, Ville and Triinin (Budokwai) took bronze in the U40 doubles series.
Big congratulations to all the medalists!

Loviisa's competition has held its place year after year as the season's opening league competition in Finland. As usual, the Taekwondo athletes were there with a big and enthusiastic team.
In the morning, illness basically taxed the bigger team and finally Kaisla, Nooa and Teresa were seen on the field. Kaisla played a good and even match, but this time the opponent was slightly better. Nooa, on the other hand, was completely superior in his match, but a peculiar line of judges took Nooa's gold medal when Nooa received warnings from situation after situation, in which there would have been no place for a warning in Kouts' eyes. Noa was therefore fully warned even though he was in an overwhelming lead. Teresa won her opening match with accurate headers and thus cleared her way to the final. Unfortunately, the opponent was a few points better and Teresa had to settle for silver.
In the afternoon, Taekwondo athletes were seen on all the fields at a steady pace, and Sampo, Petteri and Pauli, who acted as coaches, didn't bother to leave the fields much. Iines and Porvoon Juuli organized two almost back-to-back thrilling performances when they faced each other in the finals of the -33kg and -37kg cadet series. The first was scored by Juuli with a last-minute header, but in the second Iines showed how to score points through long kicking series and strong attacks. The result is a gold medal around Iines' neck. Venne stomped his own series with quite superior performances. Venne showed once again that when the foot is raised, a point is also taken with it. Janika, Plum and Sami all cleared their way to the finals, but the momentum of the day was not enough for victories. Everyone had the tactics well under control, but the execution still requires a little fine-tuning to turn these into wins. Alina and Aleksi tested their wings for the first time in the league series, and not at all with the craziest performances. Both were able to notice that their skills are quite sufficient even against tougher opponents, even though the opponents were still better on the scoreboard. Opening losses for Lauri, Luca and Kian as well, but really good matches too. Purposeful training begins to appear as confidence in one's own doing.
Technically, the team was in very good shape, but in training we still need to emphasize the ability to solve situations and the importance of the basic dune in building situations. Matches are won one situation at a time by sticking to your own tactics and being able to solve tight situations to your advantage. With these training fins, we will start building an even more efficient team for the Nurmijärvi Games.

Plum showed his iron skills once again in both competition formats at the Turkish Open G1 tournament. For Plum, the competition started with business series, where Plum made it to the finals in the top eight. The final ranking was seventh, which is a very hard result for this race.
Plum also competed in the side of the match, where the opening loss against the Turk was disappointingly narrow. A hint of additional routine and confidence in finishing, and these will also start to turn into profits. Similarly, for Jenna, a narrow opening loss in the women's -67kg series against a competitor from Kazakhstan. However, the racing season has only just begun and the pace is only now starting to pick up.
On Saturday 24.2. the first gym competition of the spring for taekwondo athletes is organized. The competition has changed its location from the traditional Friday evening to Saturday, so that you can take just as long as there is enough power, and it is easy to go and compete even further away. In addition, the competition opens a new exciting salicab league, which has three competitions in the spring. After the last competition, the best boy, girl, man and woman will be awarded with a product prize offered by Pro Dobok Finland. The awardees are selected by comparing the points scored, the number of matches played, the number of wins and the board of trustees' evaluations of the participants.
You don't have to register separately for the indoor games, it's enough to be there in good time on Saturday and inform the counter of your name, match series and weight. The price of indoor competitions is €10/competition or €25/whole league.
All series start at the same time, so that on one mat there are matches of beginners and Juniors and on the other, matches of ranking series players. Electric armor is used on both courts, but if the competitor is missing electric socks, points can also be given manually. Electric helmets are also in use on the R1 field.
