Indoor competitions 1.4.
This time, indoor competitions are held on the first Friday of the month, April 1.
As usual, participation is free for everyone. Indoor competitions are a good opportunity to gain match experience, for example, before the first national competitions. All those who even thought about their participation in the Nurmijärvi Games on 16.4., have nothing but Mars indoor games to warm up for the first time, and get your name on the lists!
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)

The club congratulates Sara, Eddie and their parents who were on the trip.
A bunch of medals from Loviisa
The Budo Nord Open was held in Loviisa on March 12, 2016. There were successes and disappointing losses. The team's performance was quite good, although many have the potential to be much better. As one performance, our newest representative, Bardia Mirzaei, who at only 15 years old won the adult series, must be singled out. Bardi was awarded as the best male competitor.

You can take the belt test after collecting enough training marks and knowing belt-level techniques (techniques used in training) and movement sequences. The instructors calculate the training times based on the enthusiasts' own training logs and check the candidates who pass the tests from their groups. These enthusiasts will be sent a separate e-mail and told during the exercises. You can check the price lists for belt tests from here.
We require a sports license from the Finnish Taekwondo Federation from all participants, which can be purchased from here.
