Come and learn about the versatile hobby of taekwondo!

Right now is a great time to start practicing taekwondo. Finland's top association, the Taekwondourheilijat 2011 ry organizes an open day where anyone can get to know the sport by watching, trying and asking questions. The club's instructors will be there to talk about the sport, the club and training, so the answers to mind-boggling questions can be found at Helsinki's Konala, Ruosilankuja 3 C on Saturday 23 August .2014. The doors open at 10:00 and are open until four, even longer if there are enough people interested. In the future, e.g. introductory training opportunities, competitions, raffle for training months, etc. And serving coffee and juice - of course!

There is no bad age or condition to start taekwondo, the sport is suitable for everyone. Small children learn general physical skills, and with seniors we go at a calm, but still developing pace. For the young and enthusiastic, our club offers fast-paced training and learning to compete under the leadership of our country's most successful taekwondo athletes. In our club, there are many families, where both children of different ages and parents enthusiastically pursue their own goals. So don't worry, start taekwondo now!

Today's program

Doors open at 10:00.

Every hour, a short taekwondo demonstration followed by a 15-minute familiarization exercise.

In match practice, everyone must have their own protection. Suits and protections, like other equipment, can be ordered from the instructor or by sending mail to info@tu11.fi. The equipment is delivered to the exercises.
