Situation overview of taekwondo athletes 13.4.

Have a nice start to the week everyone!

There have been no significant changes to the corona situation and compliance with caution and restriction measures is still of primary importance in all activities. We constantly monitor the guidelines and regulations regarding the opening hours of schools, restrictions on gatherings, and physical activities.

It has been nice to notice that many enthusiasts are excited to do video workouts, and in addition, the first live lessons were also held last week. We will keep more of these weekly in the future.

Live classes available every week

In addition to video workouts, we started organizing online live classes last week. The trial lessons went really well and a large group of enthusiasts participated in the training. In the future, we will always inform you about the next week's live training in this situation review, as well as on our website's Live! - section:

https://tu11.fi/taekwondo/live/

The password for the pages is the same as for the virtual lessons and was delivered to all enthusiasts by email. Please contact us if you haven't received yours yet.

You don't need to register for live lessons in advance, it's enough to participate via the website. The link guides you to the implementation of the Zoom service, no matter what your device is. To participate, you need a smart device with a camera, such as a computer, mobile phone or tablet. You can also participate without your own video, but in that case the instructor will not be able to give you feedback.

Live! - website you can also find past video lessons, which means that the training is successful, even if you don't have enough time at the actual time.

Participating in live classes is very easy, but feel free to ask if you have any problems with the technology.

Please remember that you can collect training notes for the belt tests from all the video workouts and live workouts you complete. Younger enthusiasts must get their parents' signature for the completed training. Return your training entries to the gym after opening.

The hall continues to be closed

The restrictive measures have significantly slowed down the spread of the coronavirus in Finland, but it is worth remembering that the peak of the disease is still ahead. Of course, we would very much like to be able to train again in the usual way, but first we have to make sure that the epidemic wave is starting to subside. We closely follow the authorities' recommendations and instructions, and based on these, the hall will be closed at least until the beginning of May, following the gathering restrictions and other recommendations. We will continue to inform you every week about the development of the situation.

Our campaign to keep the club's financial situation stable is still ongoing. With the help of the campaign, we hope to be able to keep the club's cash situation at a level that the operation can be continued even after the epidemic subsides. Some of the enthusiasts have already taken part in the campaign, but every training fee paid enables the development and continuation of activities even in times of crisis. A big thank you to everyone who is involved in supporting the club!

A reminder of the benefits we offer to all enthusiasts who continue their contract:

• By paying for your next contract period (3 months) by the end of April, you will receive one additional month of exercises free of charge
• By paying for two contract seasons at once (6 months), we add two extra months to the training contract

The campaigns automatically apply to all new 3-month payment periods that start in March or April. If your payment period does not start until after this time, you can take advantage of the campaign by paying for your training period in advance. You must also notify us separately if you want to take the 6-month offer instead of the 3-month one.

In addition to this, we offer those who have paid:

• Virtual classes and live trainings starting soon online when the gym is closed
• A self-paced exercise program
• Free camps as soon as the hall is opened
• No summer break this year, but the exercises will continue without a break throughout the summer, if the situation allows

Collect training marks for belt exams from home workouts too!

More video lessons are still being actively recorded, and if someone hasn't found them yet, the address was:

https://tu11.fi/taekwondo/virtuaalitunnit/

Palvelun salasana on lähetetty kaikille harrastajille sähköpostitse. Jos et ole vielä saanut omaasi, ota yhteyttä info@tu11.fi

There are video lessons everywhere, and new ones are constantly being made. We recommend trying different forms of training and applying exercises according to your own preferences. On the website you will also find a program for independent home exercise. The instruction in question contains plenty of different exercises with complete instructions.

Home exercisers are also allowed to collect training marks for belt tests, just like when training at the gym. In order to earn a training label, the enthusiast must do at least half an hour of self-paced sport training or specialty training at home, with or without video guidance. Workouts are marked on a free-form list and parents' signatures are taken for each workout. Enthusiasts over the age of 16 do not need to get a parent's signature. :D

The first live trainings online will take place already this week

The technology for live broadcasts does not yet work as expected, but we will hold the first live broadcast as a test already this week. You can participate in the training with a computer, mobile phone or smart device with a camera. This is how the coach sees you and you see the coach. The class is designed in such a way that it can be done even in a small space at home.

The first live workout is shared by everyone, but in the future we will target our own workouts for different age groups and skill groups.

We send all enthusiasts a separate invitation to the training by e-mail. The training is carried out via the Zoom service, and the email provides more detailed instructions on how to join the training. It's not difficult.

Make your own video or social media update about home workouts

Post pictures or training videos of your home workouts on social media using #tu11 #taekwondo #tu11home workouts #tu11coronafight hashtags. Also take part in the home workout challenge and see how long you can do a workout tube. In the challenge, the training streak is maintained when you post a photo or video of your own home workouts every day (1 rest day per week is allowed.) The person who completes the longest training streak will be rewarded with a surprise prize!

You can also send us your picture or video if you want us to publish it on the club's own social media channels. For example, members of the competition team can compile a few minutes of training tips for other enthusiasts.

Go listen to Taekwondo athletes' first Podcast episode

In order to cheer up our enthusiasts, we decided to start a Podcast series that introduces coaches and their sports backgrounds. In the first episode, Teemu talks about the early stages of his career. More Teemu's story and other coaches' introductions coming soon. You can listen to the story:

https://tu11.fi/taekwondo/2020/04/teemu-heino-1/

You can also find the podcast on Spotify by typing Taekwondo athletes 2011 in the search.

Do you need taekwondo mats for home training? I have mats to borrow from the gym for the duration of the stay. 

There is currently no active training in the gym, so the club's fire mats are also lying on the floor as unnecessary. Would you like to give the carpets a good home for a while, when they too can fulfill their purpose. The offer applies to all those who have paid their training fees without a break. Taekwondo athletes can request the mats back at any time with 3 days' notice, and the athlete is of course responsible for the condition of the mats during the loan period. The carpets must be picked up and returned by yourself. Ask for more information info@tu11.fi. We will give more detailed instructions to those interested in the matter.

Completely unused fire mats are also on sale for €30/pc.

 

Content of the situation review

• Taekwondo athletes are busy developing club activities even better, since physical training will be successful again
• More virtual exercises are constantly being produced. By training together, you can collect training marks for the belt tests
• We will start the live classes broadcast via the network as soon as possible

• A big thank you to everyone who took advantage of the offers and benefits during this difficult time.

What do Taekwondo athletes do when the gym is closed?

The hall's doors have been closed for a couple of weeks now, and it is still impossible to predict the opening at this point. We are still monitoring the effects of the corona epidemic and the Government's recommendations in this regard on a daily basis. Of course, the most important thing is the safety of enthusiasts, instructors and their close circle.

In spite of everything, the club members have not rested on their laurels, but the development of operations and quality improvement have started to be implemented in a big way now that day-to-day operations cannot be carried out. We want to make sure that when the hall opens again, the activities can be started from the same, if not better, starting points than when the break started. Correspondingly, we have worked hard on the video workouts and scrubbed the gym down to the last corner, so that the enthusiasts can get to a clean and well-ordered training space as soon as the workouts start again.

More video lessons are constantly being produced - by training along, you can collect training notes!

We shoot and produce new video workouts constantly, and if you haven't done them yet, I'll send you to the address:

https://tu11.fi/taekwondo/virtuaalitunnit/

The password has been sent to all enthusiasts by e-mail. If you haven't received yours yet, please contact us info@tu11.fi.

The video lessons are intended for our entire group of enthusiasts, and there is sure to be something suitable for everyone. There are also feature exercises, and all the workouts are designed so that they can be done at home even in a small space.

Home exercisers are also allowed to collect training marks for belt tests, just like when training at the gym. In order to earn a training label, the enthusiast must do at least half an hour of self-paced sport training or specialty training at home, with or without video guidance. Workouts are marked on a free-form list and parents' signatures are taken for each workout. Enthusiasts over the age of 16 do not need to get a parent's signature. :D

Post pictures or training videos of your home workouts on social media using #tu11 #taekwondo #tu11home workouts #tu11coronafight hashtags. Also take part in the home workout challenge and see how long you can do a workout tube. In the challenge, the training streak is maintained when you post a photo or video of your own home workouts every day (1 rest day per week is allowed.) The person who completes the longest training streak will be rewarded with a surprise prize!

Live workouts online will start as soon as possible

The good thing about the virtual lessons recorded on our website is that you can watch them according to your own schedule when it suits you best. However, a joint guided exercise has its own charm, even if there is a bit space between physically. Modern technology makes it possible to hold live exercises over the network, and we are going to develop and implement this idea as soon as possible. We hope to start the live broadcasts already next week, as long as we get the technology right first. We will announce the time of live training separately.

The self-paced training program of those training in competition groups is constantly updated

The members of the competition group have been sent a self-paced training program, the main focus of which is developing basic fitness. We are constantly updating this plan and sending updated versions to group members. There is also a sample weekly program to follow.

Other enthusiasts can also follow the program in question or get training tips from it. You can find the program at the same address as our video lessons.

A big thank you to the enthusiasts who took the offers and paid the training fees!

[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”11214″ media_width_percent=”50″][vc_column_text]Epidemian taloudelliset lieveilmiöt ovat hankalia monelle taholle, niin myös Taekwondourheilijoille. Vakka toiminta supistuu minimiin, säilyvät seuran kiinteät kulut, kuten vuokrat ja palkat, entisellään. Tilanteen pitkittyessä seuran jatkuvuus on vaakalaudalla. Tämän johdosta vetoamme kaikkiin, kenelle se suinkin on mahdollista, että jatkaisitte harjoitussopimuksianne ja osaltanne auttaisitte seuraa tämän vaikean tilanteen yli. Tämän rohkaisemiseksi olemme päättäneen aloittaa seuraavan kampanjan:

• By paying for your next contract period (3 months) by the end of April, you will receive one additional month of exercises free of charge
• By paying for two contract seasons at once (6 months), we add two extra months to the training contract

March belt tests:

The coronavirus is raging around the world and Finland is on the brink of an epidemic. The situation is alive every day, and a lot is already happening in a few days. Taekwondo athletes 2011 ry recognizes its own role in preventing and possibly limiting the epidemic and feels its responsibility in this matter. The board of the club has been meeting all week and at today's meeting we made the decision to calm the situation for the weekend and use the weekend time to monitor the development of the situation and make the best possible decisions for the benefit of our fans.

Practices on Friday evening (13.3.2020) will be held as usual, but for the weekend, all activities at the gym are suspended. The suspension includes practices according to the calendar on Saturday (March 14) and Sunday (March 15), including family groups, as well as Saturday's crushing camp. For family groups, replacement exercises will be organized at a later date. Likewise, a new date for the crushing camp will be sought as soon as the situation permits.

Taekwondo athletes will make decisions about next week's activities and measures on Sunday evening. On Monday morning, March 16, 2020, there will be a new member information about the activities of the week that started at that time. We regret that we cannot guarantee normal activity in the coming weeks, but we strive to guarantee the safest possible training conditions for enthusiasts in this difficult situation. In terms of the continuity of club activities, the support of the entire TU11 community is now especially important!

On Friday, when you possibly go to the gym, remember to be especially careful with washing your hands. Everyone washes their hands with soap before the exercises. Pair exercises and all close contact with other trainees have also been removed from Friday's exercises. Despite the difficult conditions, have a nice weekend!

- The board of the Taekwondo athletes 2011 association

Please remember:

• Wash your hands regularly and thoroughly with soap.
• Avoid unnecessary close contact, for example during training or when you are in the gym. Any exercises during the epidemic are planned so that no contact is made.
• If you feel even a little sore, skip the workout and stay home.
• Actively follows the club's and authorities' news and related instructions.
