Takamäki after Midsummer on 24 June 2013

Post date 24.6.2013

Midsummer has been celebrated and the enthusiastic group was cheerfully climbing the back hill of Malminkartano again. Teemu, as usual, guided the course of the training and the others enjoyed the sensations offered by the hill with acidifying thighs and throbbing frontal veins. Next week there will be another guaranteed burn for the muscles of the lower body. Everybody along! Below are a few more atmospheric photos from the mountain.

First we took a few laps of the back hill.

Then a little more burn in the thighs with bounces.

Finally, the calves on the stairs were finished.

Happy summer everyone!

At the summer camp, we trained and enjoyed the sunny weather

Post date 19.6.2013

There was enough buzz in Konala's gym and the surrounding area at the beginning of June, when TU11's first taekwondo day camp gathered 12 juniors to train, play and hang out together on June 3-7. A video was also shot at the camp, which will be shown when finished.
Each day's program included two guided taekwondo exercises, shared meals and outdoor activities. During the week, kicks, pooms, basic technique and acrobatics were practiced, and on Friday the camp culminated in mini-competitions, where they competed in pairs or groups in the skills part, pooms and matches. At the fastest, front kicks hit mits in 34 fifteen seconds, and even for a jump kick, the slap had to be held while sitting on the shoulders. In Pooms, we saw some great couples
individual performances and in the match the cheers were amazing and the distances were just right!

Next summer, kicking again and even better!
