Teemu is the first in the world to win dozens of World Cups
Teemu Heino and Suvi Mikkonen (Hankuk Finland) represent Finland in the Taekwondo World Championships held in Muju, Korea. At the same time, Teemu breaks records by competing as the first athlete in ten separate match taekwondo World Championships. At the same time, the competitions are Teemu's last at this level. Teme's World Cup career started in Edmonton in 1999 and since then the representative career has been uninterrupted.
Teemu will compete on Wednesday 28.6. and excerpts can be watched live:

Big congratulations to Teemu from the club!
Read Teemu's interview on the website of the Taekwondo League:
Christian, Olli Siltanen (Budokwai) and Frans Salmi (Budokwai) did quite a trick by grabbing a bronze from the Beach Poomsae World Championships organized in Rhodes and immediately after that also a bronze from the European Championship for movement series organized in the same place. The level was extremely high in both value competitions, so the performances of the Finnish trio are worth admiring. In addition to this, Christian also took gold from Austria in the extremely tough G1 tournament, where e.g. the reigning European champion.
The club will have a coffee in Christian's honor on Sunday, July 2. from 14:00 at the Konala hall. The invitation applies to everyone who can nail, so come and enjoy the medal party and the summer day in good company. The event is very free and does not require pre-registration.
In the same connection, the club also gives a homework gift to the children's instructor Jenna Aalto, who is moving to Loviisa in the summer.
Christian dropped quite a bomb by grabbing gold in the extremely tough U30 series of the Austrian G1 Championships on 17 June 2017.
Christian left behind a whole line of business series giants of the moment. There were e.g. the reigning European champion Joachim Wien and Joel van der Weiden fell in the final, who is the European champion of sleds from the last European Championships. Christian also knocked out this year's European doubles champion Benjamin Hellegaard Harden.
Aino excelled in the children's series, taking silver in her individual series and gold in pairs and groups, where Aino complemented the team of her Austrian training friends.
Warm congratulations to both of them for their amazing performances!
The belt test for the adult groups was held in the last week of the spring training period and thus served as a suitable conclusion to the hard training of the spring. In the test, new belt values were performed this time especially by high-strung enthusiasts. The test was received by Sampo Pajulampi, who had little to criticize about the performance of the group or individuals.
The club congratulates everyone on the new belt values!
A sure sign of summer is that the dreaded ”hill” will appear on the Taekwondo athletes' training calendar. As the name suggests, the hill training involves repeatedly running up the infill hill of Malminkartano using either stairs or paths. The training weights will change as the summer progresses and fitness levels increase. We recommend this exercise to anyone who wants to improve their fitness, especially if you are still lacking a hill workout in your experience bank.
For the first time, we will go for hill training as a joint start in Salita on Wednesday, June 7. at 18:30 From now on, the exercises start directly on the hill at the bottom of the stairs.
Summer practice times 5 June to 13 August.
As usual, the exercises run at the Taekwondo athletes' gym, even in the summer with a slightly lighter schedule. When schools start in August, we will return to a more compact training calendar, which will be announced closer.
The two middle weeks of July 10.7-23.7. the gym is completely closed and the coaches are on summer pastures.
The taekwondo championships will be held on July 7-9, 2017 in Tampere as part of a massive sports week, where more than a hundred sports will organize their championships and other events. In addition, amateur competitions are organized in connection with the event. In the SM championships, the competition is both in the match and in the business series.
This year, we are investing in a separate project for the World Championships, the goal of which is to prepare the athletes for peak performance and work as a unified team throughout the competition process. The project can be participated by both WC competitors and amateurs aiming to participate in the amateur tournament or next year's WC. So everyone, either as a competitor, spectator or part of the maintenance crew!
