The Ambassador's Cup will take place on November 12, 2016 in Vantaa. It is the biggest tournament of the fall and our club also participates with a big team. If you don't fight yourself, come cheer or help with team maintenance, warm-ups, etc...
The competitions have series for both beginners and advanced players. There is a suitable series for all age groups.
If you want to join, send an email to the address info@taekwondourheilijat.fi or ask the instructors about it.
Jenna Partanen ja Eddie Quinones vastasivat TU11:n mitaleista 8. ja 9. lokakuuta jRiikassa järjestetyssä G1-turnauksessa. Lisäksi Sara otti kisan yhteydessä järjestetyssä lasten turnauksessa pronssia.
Jenna otteli launataina ja sai aluksi vastaansa venäläisen Nadezha Glyshkon. Ottelu kulki Jennan hallinnassa ja päätyi 7-4. Seuraavalla kierroksella tuli vastaan tuttu puolalainen Ulfig Jagoda. Uuden ottelukonseptin myötä tasaisen ottelun tulos 7-1 puolalaiselle, mutta Jenna pystyi tekemään hienosti oikeita asioita. Kun systtemi saadaan ajettua täysin sisään, on puolalainenkin vaikeuksissa.
Eddie Quinones otteli kadettipoikien -61 kilon sarjassa. Hänellä oli suora finaali, joka ei ehkä ollut parasta Eddietä, mutta riitti 3-2 voittoon. Mitalikaappi on komea, sillä vuoden sisällä Eddie on voittanut 2 G1-kisaa ja ollut kerran hopealla.
Luca, Sara, Severi, Teemu ja Tuikku jäivät tällä kertaa ensimmäiselle kierrokselle.

Race report from Porvoo
The autumn domestic competition season continued on October 8. In Porvoo. The taekwondo athletes were represented by a number of familiar faces as well as a couple who had not been to the games.
Upbeat performances on trains
In the morning, first-timer Iines Korhose had a reason to smile when, after two rather overwhelming victories, a gold medal was hung around his neck.
Venne Viitaniemi, who competed in his second competition, also showed a model of hard kicks. The first opponent's attempts were quickly reduced to Venne's kicks, but in his second match, Venne had to bow to numbers 4-5.
Janika Tatti competed in two series, the final matches of both of which were almost consecutive. An unfortunate loss in the first turned into a tasty victory in the second at the end of a tight match.
Lauri Hulikkala won his first match 5-4, but had to admit that his tall opponent was better in the final. Lauri's persistent effort until the last seconds of the match was amazing to watch.
The D1 girls' -30kg series was strongly represented, as three of the four competitors recognized the colors of Taekwondo athletes. A mutual match could not be avoided, and Jenny Vettenniemi and Aino Kortelainen took the measure of each other in the semifinals. This time, Jenny was one point better and advanced to the final against the Porvoo who won Sofia. Unfortunately, the final ended in a 0-1 loss, but Jenny already vowed to win next time.
Frans Orjasniemi found scoring opportunities well, but the kicks remained cautious and the required number of points did not accumulate on the board. Similarly, Risto Hyvärinen, who played in adult amateurs, was unnecessarily careful with his kicks and thus lost in the opening match.
A small team in cadets
Only Emilia Lahti and Plum Kopisto were responsible for the cadet representation this time, when part of the team was in the Latvian G1 tournament. However, both of them participated in two series and the balance was a nice 3 gold and 1 silver. Plum's performance in the final of the cadet -45kg series was extremely positive. A strong and taller opponent roared forward with power, but Plum stopped him in one situation after another, snapping home the points himself. The tactically very complete match ended with a 3-0 win for Plum. Only 8 seconds had passed in Plum's second final, when the opponent had to give up due to a leg injury. However, the 3-0 score for Plum showed that Plum's hunt for points had only just begun.
Emmi got busy with her own finals, when one was waiting to start while the other was still in progress. A loss from B1 teams, but a 3-1 win from our own cadet series. Emmi's elegant solution in the last moments of the match brought the victory home, when the overtime was only seconds away.
The coaching team Juho Ranta, Petteri Kauppinen and Pauli Raivio were satisfied with the day's performance. The team's team spirit played really well and the parents were always involved in the heart of the action. Hopefully, we will go to the Vantaa Ambassador's Cup with a twice as big team in the same positive spirit!

Essi for places 9.-16. In Peru
Essi Labart ja Christian Kamphuis edustivat Suomen liikesarjojen MM-kisoissa Perussa maan pääkaupungissa Limassa 29.9.-2.10.2016.
Essi kilpaili yksilösarjassa lauantaina. Kaikissa yli 18 vuotiaiden yksilösarjoissa kilpailitiin ensimmäistä kertaa single elimination -järjestelmällä (cup-kaavio). Kilpailijoille arvotaan vastustaja ja parempi näistä kahdesta etenee seuraavalle kierrokselle. Ensimmäisellä kierroksella vastaan vastaan asettui Kroatian edustaja. Essi teki kilpailusuoritukset Kroatiaa vastaan omalla huipputasollaan. Kroatia jäi taakse ja Essi eteni neljännesfinaaleihin. Seuraavasta vastustaja oli kokenut Gabriella Coffa Hollannista. Hyvät esitykset eivät riittäneet tiputtamaan hollantilaista, joten Essin lopullinen sijoitus oli täten: 9.-16.
Essi ja Christian kilpailivat alle 30 vuotiaiden parisarjassa. Ehyistä esityksistä huolimatta semifinaalipaikka jäi parilta valitettavasti saavuttamatta. Parisarja käytiin cut-off -menetelmällä eli ensimmäiseltä karsintakierrokselta pääsee pisteiden perusteella puolet kilpailioista semifinaaliin ja vastaavasti semifinaalin kahdeksan parasta etenevät finaaliin. Myöskin finaalissa kaikkien kilpailijoiden pisteitä verrataan toisiinsa, ja voittaja ratkeaa pisteiden perusteella.
Christian kilpaili parisarjan lisäksi myös yksilöfreestylessä. Sarja käytiin sunnuntaina. Freestylen kilpailijamäärä on kasvanut huimasti ja tällä kertaa yli 18 vuotiaiden miesten yksilösarjassa oli 23 kilpailijaa. Christianin lämmittely sujui mallikkaasti, mutta valittavasti kilpailulavalla maitohapot saivat vallan ja Christian joutui tiputtamaan potkut pois akrobatisista liikkeistä, mikä sakotti huomattavasti pisteitä. Illalla käyty kahdeksan hengen finaalipaikka jäi tällä kertaa haaveeksi.
Kisan taso oli kova, joskin suomalaiset ottivat hämmästyttävät kaksi pronssia, naisten +30 v ryhmäsarjasta ja naisten -40 sarjasta.
The long wait ended on Sunday 2.10. when the "Grey Panthers" group kicked off. As a rule, the exercises are on Sundays at 12-13, but course instructor Janne Rita gives even more detailed schedules. Janne has a long experience not only in taekwondo but also with stuck hips and tight shoulders. So even the most rigid get oil in the machinery!
Who is the panther group suitable for? Just for anyone who has ever sat on the edge of the hall marveling at their children's taekwondo skills or even threatened to know better themselves. No previous experience or basic physical fitness is required, but you can get started lightly, relaxedly and with a twinkle in your eye.
Participation in classes does not require prior registration. The hourly fee is voluntary and is collected in cash at the beginning of the hour. Taekwondo athletes will triple the accumulated amount and it will be directed directly to support the training of the club's athletes. The proceeds of the autumn course will be directed to support the athletes' training by buying electronic armor and head protection for the club.
The first indoor competitions of autumn will be held as usual on the last Friday of the month 30.9.
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. Especially for the larger C2 trains, it is worth asking if more suitable resistors could be found on 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 handsome medal pot from Eura
The fitness level of the taekwondo athletes was just right in Eura
The first competitions of the autumn domestic competition season were organized on Saturday 24.9. in Eura. A total of 170 athletes fought for medals, and the team of Taekwondo athletes did get their own encouragement and a little bit from others as well.
In the morning heats, Lauri Hulikkala, Aino Kortelainen and Sofia Sarala grabbed the first medals of the day, when Aino and Lauri won their series with stylish performances, and Sofia had to settle for bronze after a tight fight.
In the afternoon, the league series were played, where the club was represented by Plum Kopisto, Luca Leskinen, Aino Kortelainen, Severi Sarala, Emilia Lahti and Hannes Tolonen. Plum had reason to smile after two quite overwhelming series wins. Aino and Emmi also grabbed the brightest medals in their respective categories. The others had to settle for bronze and silver, but the performances of the day were extremely positive. Severi, Luca and Hannes were really able to challenge their tough opponents, and if a few more things fall into place, they will also take home the wins.
Coach Pauli Raivio was very satisfied with the team's performance. Everyone's legs seemed to be in good shape and the contestants exuded confidence. Let's go to the games in Porvoo and Vantaa with a bigger team to repeat the series victories and turn the silver and bronze into gold!

Bronze for Emmi from Poland
Emilia Lahti otti pronssia kadettityttöjen alle 51 kilon sarjasta viikonloppuna käydyssä G1-turnauksessa Puolassa. Kirkkaampikin mitali oli lähellä, kun jatkoeräkin käytiin loppuun. Vastassa ollut hollantilaistyttö vei sarjan ylivoimaisella pistevoitolla.
Emilia oli seuramme ainoa mitalisti kun Plum Kopisto, Luca Leskinen, Sami Leskinen ja Severi Sarala jäivät ensimmäisille kierroksilleen. Jenna Partanen voitti ensimmäisellä kierroksella kovan kroatilaisen, mutta puolivälierässä hallitseva Euroopan mestari, britti Lauren Williams oli tällä kertaa parempi.
Matti Sairanen did not succeed in the Eekwondo European Championships for the disabled in Warsaw, Poland. In the first round, he lost to Italy's Antonio Bossolo 15-3 before full time. Bossolo is ranked 4th in the world, while Matti's ranking is 12th. Matti competes in the disability category K44 in the weight category under 61 kg.
