Belt tests for children and young people in a package

New belt values at the flea market

There was plenty of excitement in the gym of taekowntour athletes on Wednesday 24.5. when no less than four belt exams followed each other. In the first shift, the white-clad players got to taste their first belt test and performed excellently all the techniques and additional challenges required in the test. In the next turn, the hall was absolutely packed, when the gnomes hunting for green ribbons and belts of the same color showed their skills. Meanwhile, on the other side of the hall, a group of young children earned their tiger and dragon badges. The last test of the evening lasted a full two hours, but it was not an overwhelming challenge for the upper belts.

Good luck to all new belt ranks!

Indoor competitions on Friday 26.5.

Friday 26.5. Indoor competitions of taekwondo athletes

Participation is free for everyone, and you do not need to register separately. The turn of adults and cadets is part of the national team list of the Finnish Taekwondo Association, and we hope to have as many competitors as possible who are already participating in the camp.

17:00-19:00 – E, D, and C2 (7-12-year-olds and 12-14-year-old beginners)

19:00-21:00 – C1, B1, B2, R1 and H (12-14-year-old cadets, +15-year-olds)

Note! Exceptionally in 5-6 year olds is not skill competition this time due to the national team player.

If you are not sure which group you should join, feel free to contact the coaches. In particular, larger C2 boats and those planning to transfer to cadet series should ask if more suitable resistors can be found in a later shift. We encourage all new enthusiasts to participate in the games, even if they don't even know what competing means. The first time you can look at the moods or even try it yourself if you feel like it.

E-armors are used for the shift starting at 19:00. Your own E-socks are therefore highly recommended if you want to fight with electric armor. There are also a few loaner socks in different sizes.

You can borrow the missing protectors from the club, but we encourage everyone to buy their own training protectors, which are regularly needed in training as well. Ask more from the gym's equipment store and coaches.

No other exercises will be organized on the day of the Salika competition.

Gold for Bardia from the 21-year-old championships

Bardia Mirzai took gold in the Under-21 Finnish Championship in Ikaalilsi on 21.5. The good result of the small team was completed by Emilia Lahti with her bronze

In the amateur tournament held in the morning, Venne Viitaniemi and Teemu Takala took silver and Lauri Hulikkala bronze.

The club was well represented by Ali Lahti, who got to referee the first SC final of his life from the middle.

Holy Thursday 25.5. no exercises

Holy Thursday 25.5. no exercises are organized. Friday 26.5. then let's go full blast again in the name of indoor competitions.

You still have time for the poomsae clinic

Does it feel like the set of moves required in the belt exam still needs polishing, or would it be nice to learn a whole new set of moves? The Poomsae clinic offers solutions to these questions, and much more. The coaching staff is Finland's absolute elite and the place is right next door. So don't rush, go on Saturday 13.5. and/or on Sunday 14.5. to learn movement sequences!
