Extra boost from extra exercises
In the basic groups of taekwondo athletes, all aspects of the sport are practiced comprehensively and physical qualities are developed in a variety of ways. In addition to these, the price of the basic contract includes a comprehensive package of various additional exercises with which you can deepen your skills in a certain area or raise your fitness to a new level.
We recommend at least one additional exercise per week in addition to the basic exercises for all advanced and advanced group members. Of course, the most enthusiastic ones choose workouts for almost every day, and nothing prevents the beginner group members from participating as well.
An amateur match
In the amateur match, you get to know the basics of match taekwondo and, of course, you also have sparring matches with a calm attitude. In an amateur match, safety comes first and protection is always carried during training. The group is suitable for anyone over the age of 12 who is interested in the match. There is also a dedicated amateur match lesson for children. The amateur match is also a good starting point for the journey towards the competition groups of the match.
Hobby shop series
In amateur range of motion training, the basics of range of motion are practiced and, of course, new range of motion is studied. In the training, we also dig deeper than basic training into the secrets of steps, hand techniques, kicks and power production. A very good workout for all enthusiasts, for example as part of a belt test. All enthusiasts who have learned the first set of movements can join the exercise. Children aged 7-12 have their own amateur movement series training on Tuesdays.
Accompanying training for adults
Additional training for adults consists of three separate exercises, fitness circuit, core and stretching.
The fitness circuit is a high-performance muscle fitness and endurance exercise. Movements are performed either with the body's own weight or with small additional weights. The main focus in the exercises is on practicing basic strength and strength endurance with the help of changing themes. The fitness circuits are suitable for beginners as well as wash-resistant strongmen and women. The number of repetitions and intensity can be customized to suit everyone.
Core exercises focus on strengthening the muscles of the upper body. The goal is to build a strong core that supports other training, supports body control and mobility, and prevents back and joint problems.
In stretching exercises, several different methods are applied with the goal of a more mobile and healthier body overall. The stretches are not only limited to static and passive muscle stretches, but also joint movements and active stretching are taken into account. The stretching exercise is specially designed to support taekwondo training, but is suitable for everyone who is interested in a better moving and stretching body.
Racing groups
Athletes with different goals train in competition groups, but all of them have in common a strong desire to improve and to put in the effort for results. The higher training fee for competition groups entitles you to attend all possible training sessions that can be found in the gym. In addition, athletes have the right to use the hall for their own training. Maybe you too will become an athlete in the competitive teams of Taekwondo athletes. Ask your coach for more information today!
We hope to see you in further training as soon as possible!
Autumn competition calendar
The autumn competition calendar is starting to become clear, although Corona causes a lot of uncertainty. The target competition for amateur match and amateur business series groups is Nurtzi Open on 30.10. In Nurmijärvi. Of course, amateur training can also be done without a competitive goal. However, there is a suitable challenge for all ages and levels in the amateur series.
At the top level, there won't be any real adult competitions this fall, but right at the beginning of the season, both Jenny Vettenniemi and Chahrazed Boughrara will represent Finland in their age group's competitions. At the end of the year, Juuli Mankonen, Plum Kopisto and Lauri Hulikkala will also represent Finland at the European Junior Championships in Bosnia Herzegovina.
The season culminates in the championships, which we aim for again with a big team. Once in a while there is a reason to go on a tourist trip to Turku, when you get to cheer on your own athletes!
