Indoor competitions 30.10.2015

It happens in indoor competitions!

Traditional indoor competitions will be held at the taekwondo athletes' hall on Friday 30 October 2015, and it was decided to try a slightly new way of doing things. In other words, before the indoor competitions, competitors and enthusiasts from both our own club and other clubs are recruited, and a list of participants is collected from them, which is published on this page. In this way, anyone who hesitates to participate can see if there are opponents close to their own weight class.

We therefore ask that you promptly notify one of the coaches either of your participation or of your absence. The list is updated as needed. The children of our own club do not need to register. E, D and C2 competitors will not be published, there will certainly be enough of them.

Participation is free for everyone.

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)

17:00-18:00 – skills competition for 3-6 year olds (both TU11 groups combined)

Medals for taekwondo athletes from Porvoo

Good mood at the Porvoo Games

The team of taekwondo athletes collected medals of all colors from the match competitions in Porvoo on 10.10. In Porvoo, the junior and amateur series were played in the morning and the league series for all age groups in the afternoon.

In the morning, the Power Girls Aino, Sofia, Jenny and Sara cleaned the tables in their own sets. Aino played in three different series, taking a whopping eight matches, eight of which were victories. Thus, Aino has three gold medals and a well-deserved championship prize. Sofia and Jenny were superior in their own series, and the mutual battle was extremely tight until the end. However, Jenny took a longer stroke this time. Sara competed in two series, winning one and taking silver in the other.

The highlights of the afternoon's league series were Emmi's victories in both the cadet and junior series, as well as Eddie's dramatic battle with Nurmijärvi's Oskari Viinanen. Everyone seemed to be in the right mood for the match, and it's good to continue towards the Nurmijärvi Games.

All rankings

Aino Kortelainen – 1st / 1st / 1st (E1, E1 and D2)

Sofia Sarala – 2nd (E1)

Jenny Vettenniemi – 1. (E1)

The first gym competition of autumn on Friday 25.9.

As usual, the first indoor competitions of autumn are organized on the last Friday of the current month 25.9.

Under-14s start at 5:00 p.m., cadets, B-juniors and adults at 7:00 p.m. If the cadets wish, they can start earlier with junior enthusiasts, if there are pairs of suitable size and level in the group.

We strongly recommend buying your own training protections from the gym's equipment store. If necessary, you can borrow protection from the club in indoor competitions, but the correct size and quality are not guaranteed.

NOTE! The elementary group of 7-14-year-olds does not have actual exercises on the day of the indoor competition. However, they can participate in the common warm-up part of indoor competitions and participate as a spectator. In the future, group members can participate in indoor competitions themselves

NOTE! The exercises for 3-6-year-olds have been combined into one group that practices from 17:00 to 18:00. The group then also has a playful competition day where they compete in various general physical skills.

The gym competition is free for the club's own enthusiasts. We charge a participation fee of 10 euros from representatives of other clubs.
