Taekwondo athletes 2011 | Taekwondo | Helsinki | Espoo | VantaaTuesday 6.12. the hall is closed all evening because of Independence Day. Otherwise, the week's exercises will go on as usual, except for Friday 9.12. when the last indoor competitions of the autumn season are held.
Happy Independence Day!
Tapiola's fall season starts in the package on Monday, November 28. with the held belt test. In the belt exam, 19 enthusiasts completed the new belt rank, ranging from yellow belt to second degree blue. The test was held by Tapiola's well-known coaches Hannu Wikström and Janne Rita. The coaches were very satisfied with the group's overall performance, although there is still practice for next spring in the steps and movement sequences.
The last practices of the fall season will be held on Thursday 1.12. after which school gymnasiums are closed. Spring training starts on Monday 9.1. Tapiola enthusiasts are welcome to practice at Konala during their Christmas break. Take a look at the training calendar from here.
The last indoor competitions of the autumn season are held on Friday 9.12.
Participation is free for everyone, and you do not need to register separately. Competitors from outside the club are also warmly welcome.
17:00-19:00 – E, D, and C2
19:00-21:00 – C1, B1, A1 and H (can be started on a rolling basis even earlier at the end of the junnum races)
If you are not sure which group you should join, feel free to contact the coaches. In particular, it is worth asking for the larger C2 shunts if more suitable resistors could 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.
You can borrow the missing protectors from the club, but we recommend everyone to buy their own training protectors. Ask more from the gym's equipment store and coaches.
Note! No other exercises will be organized on the day of the Salika competition.
Many thanks to everyone who answered the autumn customer feedback survey!
The feedback has been discussed in detail at the director's meeting on 19.11. and development activities based on them have been started. Of course, you can continue to give feedback by e-mail, by calling or directly to the coaches in the gym.
The Ambassador's Cup, organized for the second time, gathered taekwondo people to compete both in movement series and in a match in Vantaa's Tikkurila on November 12, 2016. Taekwondo athletes had a strong representation in both forms of competition, and we can be very satisfied with the day's performances.
The taekwondo athletes had no fewer than 29 representatives in the match series, so there was enough excitement for the whole day. The huge trophy haul shows that there were enough top moments and successes. A busy coach doesn't quite notice all the tricks, but at least Paul remembered Venne's gutsy three-win fight for a series win, Lauri's accurate spot-kicks, Iines' ferocious kicking power, Jenny's tremendous self-confidence, Janika's tactical skills, Plum's solid work ethic, Aleksi's will to win, Bardia's struggle against the Estonian hurray, and Jaden's , Markus and Kaisla's brave first contact on the national competition mats. Many other things also fell into place, and as said, one coach's eye is not enough to see everyone.
Sampo, Pauli, Juho, Riina, Petteri and Teemu were responsible for the coaching on the match side. The exchange of words between the coaches after the games was very positive. As the season draws to a close, many goals can already be considered fulfilled for the fall. Another big thank you from the coaching team to all the competitors and congratulations on your success!
The team of taekwondo athletes got in shape for competition under the treatment of the team's official stylist, Somporn Kopisto. The team was easily the most stylish of the games and there was no doubt about their efficiency. The coaches are Juho Ranta and Essi Labart. Of course, Essi managed to grab gold in both of his series before this. In general, the upswing of business series athletes that continued throughout the fall continued again at the Ambassador's Cup. Essi was satisfied and proud of the team's performance, and Juhokaa did not spare hyperbole in his later report.
The club and the coaching team congratulate the winners!
Special thanks to Subaru, who provided the team with subs at the end of the race! #hankssubaru

The November belt exams have been packaged quite successfully.
In the junior exams, 29 trainees were completing the new belt rank. Except for a few additional repetitions of movement sets, everyone passed the exam with clean sheets. The test administrators Teemu and Sampo were satisfied with the group's performance.
The eight-member audition group of adults showed their skills to Petter and Paul. Performances were consistently good throughout the exam, and everyone clearly exceeded the bar.
Taekwondo athletes congratulate new belt values!
