The Liikesari team is in a great mood again

The second competition of the business series league took place in Pori

The poomsae team of taekwondo athletes reaped success again in the competition of the Pori poomsaeliiga on Saturday, April 7. A lot of medals were collected in each color, some from the individual series and some from the pair and group series. It is a pleasure to watch not only the work of your own team, but also the seamless cooperation of couples and teams that cross club boundaries.

Laura had quite a busy day in Pori when, in addition to her own three series, she also worked with Ville in the coaching job. Laura comfortably collected all the medals. Even the brighter medals of the individual series were only behind by a small point difference. With her confident performance, Plum stomped to the silver medal in the cadet boys category, with Alex following right behind in third place. A little additional adjustment still to be made, so the highest prize place is looming! In the cadet girls' series, there is no shortage of Taekwondo athletes when Vickan, Bella, Sara and Sofia decided with the other contestants their mutual superiority. This time, Bella had reason to smile the biggest with a bronze medal around her neck, while the other girls followed in the rankings right next. Elina finished fourth in the hard-level U30 women.

Coaches Ville and Laura had enough positive feedback about the team's mood. Of course, training the accuracy of the techniques and the certainty of performance must be continued more and more purposefully so that the small margins can be turned to your advantage more and more regularly. The best thing is that the team spirit and attitude are at their peak and working together is fun, whether it's a competition or training in your own gym!

Indoor competitions for taekwondo athletes 7.4.

The indoor league continues with the April competition

On Saturday 7.4. the second gym competition of the spring for Taekwondo athletes will be held. The event serves as an excellent preparation for the Nurmijärvi competition held a week later. In addition, the indoor competition continues the exciting indoor league, where a total of three competitions are organized in the spring. After the last competition, the best boy, girl, man and woman will be awarded with a product prize offered by Pro Dobok Finland. The awardees are selected by comparing the points scored, the number of matches played, the number of wins and the board of trustees' evaluations of the participants.

You don't have to register separately for indoor competitions, it's enough to arrive on Saturday in good time and inform the counter of your name, match series and weight. The price of indoor competitions is €10.

All series start at the same time, so that on one mat there are matches of beginners and Juniors and on the other, matches of ranking series players. Electric armor is used on both courts, but if the competitor is missing electric socks, points can also be given manually. Electric helmets are also in use on the R1 field.

If you want to come along to practice acting as a judge or otherwise as an administrator, please contact us!

Belgian Open 2018

As for Poomse, the tournament went great. Christian took gold in the U30 group series with Frans (Budokwai) and Olli (Budokwai). Ville took bronze in his individual series (men under 40) as well as in the doubles series with Triin (Budokwai). Plum and Mia (EHT) took the doubles bronze.

Business series athletes at speed in Lohja

The Lohja Open opened the business series league season

The taekwondo athletes' movement series team hunted for medals with great success at the Lohja Open. What made the competition particularly interesting was that Bella, Vickan and Sofia, who had made a clear mark in the lynx series, made their debut in the cadet series against tougher opponents with an even wider menu of movement series. A little tension was visible e.g. in that, while still warming up, we thought about the sequences of the techniques of the recently learned movement sequences.

However, the tension was not reflected in the competition performance, but the work was sure and the team's overall mood was particularly positive. The team's mutual encouragement and team spirit garnered praise from the coaches Laura and Petter. Laura also competed herself and took bronze in the U40 women's category. In cadet boys, both second and third place went to taekwondo athletes, with Plum taking silver and Alex immediately following with bronze. Plum's silver streak was continued in the pairs series, where the medal was won with EHT's Mia Knutsson. Bella's cadet career got off to a great start when the day's performances were rewarded with a bronze medal. Similarly, the power trio of Bella, Vickan and Sofia was once again successful by coming second in the U17 groups. In the U30 groups, Elina took gold with Nea Säynäjoki (Tampere Kumgang) and Linda Räkköläinen (HIPKO). Maija also styled to victory in the green belt women's series.

As mentioned, the coaches were very satisfied with the team's performance and the development from the last games was again clearly visible. A few technical mistakes were also visible, and Laura reminded the importance of concentration in all techniques, including bows and shouts in every exercise.

Big congratulations to all the medalists!
