The second belt exams of the spring will be held at the Konala gym on week 21. The exams also apply to Tapiola and Kalajärvi enthusiasts. The dates and times of the belt exams are as follows:
You can find the prices of belt tests from here. You can pay for the exam on the spot in cash or afterwards using the normal invoicing method.
Getting to the exams requires enough practice notes and months from the previous exam. The techniques and movement sequences used in the exercises must also be mastered in the exam. If you don't know which movement sequence or things you need to know in the exam, feel free to ask your instructor. Those who qualify for the belt test will be announced in the gym on the board next to the instructor's desk at the beginning of week 20 and in connection with the exercises. Make sure with your instructor that you know the necessary things. The most important thing in the exam, however, is hard work and the process of doing things.
In addition, participating in the belt tests requires a sport license from the Finnish Taekwondo Federation, which you can order for one year at a time from here.
