Up, down, up, down…
St. Petersburg's Baltic Sea Cup is a traditional team invitational tournament, where the following team was sent this year:
58 kg Toni Lahtinen, Loviisa Taekwondo (Mustafa Yevloyev, St. Petersburg)
-68 kg Sami Lahtinen, Loviisa Taekwondo
-80 kg Juho Kostiainen, TU11
+80 Teemu Heino, TU11
Coach: Petteri Kauppinen, TU11
Physiotherapist: Juho Ranta, TU11
Technical delegate and team leader: Sampo Pajulampi, TU11
The first setback was felt already on Thursday, when Toni Lahtinen got a new assignment for the rest of his military service, which meant canceling his weekend vacations. The matter was investigated persistently on Friday, but even though the Defense Forces were willing to be flexible, Toni was not included.
Therefore, the young Mustafa Yevloyev from St. Petersburg came to strengthen the team, who, despite his hard effort, was clearly a weaker player than Toni.
In the first round, they faced the first team from Moscow. The whole team had a rough start, and the match ended in a draw after Mustafa and Sami lost their match. When the draw still brought the -58 kilos for the deciding match, and Mustafa couldn't find new drugs, the opening round defeat was a fact.
In the second round, St. Petersburg's second team gave up -58 and -68 kilograms due to injuries. Teemu and Juho handled their part in an exemplary manner.
The bronze medal match took place as an 8-minute match, so that each weight class competed for one minute in two rounds. Manual scoring and flying substitutions were used.
Juho and Teemu's high percentage points in particular brought a clear victory for Finland.
So bring bronze medals and crystal drinking glasses.
At the evening banquet, we discussed cooperation and good help in both directions came about commendably.

Baby taekwondo starts!
Baby Taekwondo
Baby aekwondo offers adults and babies a nice joint exercise moment. Participation does not require previous experience in self-defense and martial arts, but everyone is welcome to get to know baby taekwondo. During the lessons, we practice e.g. basic taekwondo kicks, punches and defenses, as well as exercises to strengthen muscle condition. The classes are designed so that all mothers and fathers, regardless of age, size and fitness, can participate.
The class consists of a light warm-up, technique and muscle fitness sections, and a stretching session. Although baby taekwondo is mainly aimed at adults, the baby is closely involved in almost all sections. When warming up and exercising, the baby is in the adult's lap and at the same time acts as a nice additional weight. When practicing taekwondo techniques, the baby can be placed next to the blanket for part of the time to follow the adult's exercises.
The class is best suited for babies older than 3 months who already know how to support their heads.
Time and place
Baby taekwondo starts on September 17. Classes are held on Tuesdays at 2:00 PM at the Taekwondo athletes' hall in Konala at Ruosilankuja 3, Helsinki. The exercises will continue until December 17, 2013.
Equipment
In addition to the normal exercise equipment, you should bring a towel or blanket on which you can lay the baby from time to time.
Supervisor
The instructor is Saija Sinisalo (1st dan) and her baby Vilppu born in April.
Payment
Participation can be paid either in one-time payments (€10), by buying a 6-time card (€50) or by paying a season fee (€98). The season fee covers all 14 practice sessions on September 17. – 17.12.
If the topic interests you and you need more information, send an e-mail to the instructor at saija.sinisalo@gmail.com. Enrollments are also handled in the same way.

At the beginning of September, TU11 took a big step forward when Pauli Raivio started as a paid coach and secretary in our club.
Natural selection
"Pauli's contribution has already been significant as an assistant director in our club before. When the workload has increased significantly as the club grows, we wanted to hire an employee to maintain the service level. Pauli was a natural choice, he has made an impression with his attitude and skills," states the club's vice president Sampo Pajulampi.
Overseeing and taking care of daily affairs
