Taekwondo athletes 2011 | Taekwondo | Helsinki | Espoo | Vantaa
The promotion of taekwondo athletes towards the upcoming open day and the new autumn basic courses has started. The club's advertisements are starting to appear at an accelerating pace in the areas of West Vantaa, East Espoo and Southeast Helsinki. The hall is conveniently located near the intersection of the three cities, so the advertising will be targeted not only to Helsinki but also to Vantaa and Espoo.
Yesterday, the last belt exams of the spring and summer season were held at the Taekwondo athletes' hall. At five in the afternoon, the juniors started with their own belt tests and continued with the adults until nine in the evening.
Juniors
Henry Traan completed the 7th cup (yellow belt and green stripe)
Joel Repo and Lukas Lassooy completed the 8th cup (yellow belt)
Adults
Janne Rita completed the 5+ cup (green belt and another blue stripe).
Mari Havakka completed the 7+ cup (yellow belt and another green stripe).
Anna-Kristiina Ostamo, Lotta Veira and Anna Kumpulainen completed the 7th cup (yellow belt and green stripe).
Mikko Karjalainen, Jaakko Saha and Anssi Häära were the backing bands and pairs for the belt curlers.
Congratulations to all the test-takers for their great performances and new belt values!
In the autumn season, the training calendar will be even more condensed, when more advanced children and young people will also have their own separate groups.
The last indoor competitions of the summer season will take place right after the Olympics on August 14, 2012. Children and young people compete at 17-19, and adults at 19-21. Between the youth and adult matches, you have the opportunity to watch Suvi Mikkonen, Finland's only taekwondo Olympic representative, at the Olympic Games with a group!
Three sections were covered in the summer training seminar. On the sports field, we went through running, jumping and throwing, in the weight room various squats, grabs and parallel pull-ups, and in the taekwondo gym body control, rubber band training and mobility training. The pace was quite brisk and individual movements were tried only briefly.
Thanks to all participants. We hope for feedback and promise that we will continue in the fall.
Tuesday 19 June 2012, from 17:00 to 21:00Children under 16 17.00-19.00
Over 16 years old 19.00-21.00
Taekwondo athletes organize indoor competitions on Tuesday 19 June 2012. In indoor competitions, everyone can agree on their match partner and possible main contact with each other, so there is no participation threshold. There is a central referee in the matches and the points are counted as in real competitions.
The competitions start with children's (under 16) matches at 17:00 and around 19:00 we move on to the adult matches. Indoor competitions are free for TU11 members and Coaching Center athletes, the price for others is 10 euros. Indoor competitions replace the normal exercises on Tuesday.
In the indoor competition, you can order the necessary protections for the competition (not mandatory, except for mouth guards / €6 and bottom guards / €22). If you don't have protectors, the club will lend them to the race.
During the summer (4.6.2012 – 17.8.2012) the exercises have been slightly condensed, check the new practice times!
NOTE! The gym will have a summer break in weeks 28 and 29, i.e. July 9-20, 2012, when the gym is closed and there are no exercises.
Taekwondo athletes wish everyone an active summer!
