How do you get to the belt exams?

You can get to the belt exams by collecting enough practice marks from the previous belt exam. We calculate training visits based on recorded workouts, so remember to log your exercise every time you go to the gym. 

The prerequisite for entering the exam is also that you know the things required in the exam at a sufficient level and follow the rules of conduct in the gym during the exercises.

You do not need to register for the exam in advance. However, please let us know if you are not going to participate in the exam after receiving the invitation by email. Also let us know if you didn't receive an invitation, but you think you should have a belt test. 

What is required in the belt test?

In the belt exam, you need to know the technical requirements of the exam and the sets of movements. The requirements of the previous exams also still have to be mastered.

Practice instructions for belt tests

How should you prepare for the exams?

The best preparation for the exam is to attend training actively and versatile. For example, enthusiasts who emphasize match training should also attend basic training from time to time, and correspondingly, those training in basic hobby groups should deepen their skills in the form of match training and movement sets.

Movement sets should be practiced especially well, because they gather almost all the techniques required in the exam and embody the ability of the enthusiast to rhythm the techniques and generate strength in them. After learning a new movement sequence, repeat it as much as possible.

In the weeks before the exam, movement sets are also repeated more than usual in training. 

What does the exam cost and how is it billed?

You can find our belt test price list:

We will invoice you for the exam by email after the exam.

    Töhiin! campaign and summer jobs

    To work! campaign

    TU11 will pilot the new Töihin! campaign in the spring of 2022. The goal is to develop the basic working life skills of young enthusiasts and at the same time offer the opportunity to earn a little of their own income. In the beginning, the work is done a couple of hours a week with the support of a supervisor, and with the development of skills, both the amount of work and the young person's own responsibility for the work increases.

    The first authors have been hired and include e.g. Fresh EC gold medalists Aino Kortelainen and Sofia Sarala.

    Are you interested? Contact Sampo Pajulampi by email sampo@tu11.fi.main.hoste.fi.
