Taekwondo athletes on TV

Taekwondo athletes are advertised in Tapiola

TV advertisement for taekwondo athletes in Tapiola

Another goal has been achieved, the ad for Taekwondo athletes is now running on TV! Admittedly, we still had to compromise a little on that media, so you won't see the ad on commercial channels yet, but that day will come. As you can see from the picture, the ad runs in Tapiola and even more precisely in Tapiontor. For photo loss thank you very much for the loan of the window space!

Our enthusiasts who visit Tapiontor could have a look and tell us their opinion about the ad in the gym, Taekwondo athletes appreciate feedback :)

Do you want to join in promoting the club?

Do you want to join in promoting the club and thus help grow our club bigger and better?

It's easy to do! Assemble a patrol of one adult and 2-5 children. Go to the information desk and fill in the form there with the time and place of your choice from the available options. Each shift is one hour long. During this time, you will receive 150 flyers for your group to distribute.

You can also take posters to hand out. When you have distributed the posters, mark the date of distribution and the place where you have taken the poster in the list.

The advertisement distribution dates are 16.8., 17.8. and 23 August 2014. You can distribute posters whenever you want until the end of the month.

The locations are Kaari Shopping Centre, Pitäjänänmäki Station, Malminkartano Station and the center of Tapiola.

A couple of instructions that are good to remember when distributing ads:

1. If a person is busy, don't disturb them

2. Everyone can be a potential hobbyist

3. Feel free to tell about your own experiences, both good and bad

4. If you don't know something, ask to be contacted by phone or email or ask to visit on weekdays between 5:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.

year 2011

Malminkartano's Celebrations

Malminkartano's Elojuhli is becoming a tradition among taekwondo athletes. At this party, the show was held for the first time before the hall had even been renovated for training. Last year we already had a big group to enjoy the show, and this year we were supposed to make it even better. It would be really great if all those who are capable of nailing come along to present taekwondo athletes at Malminkartano's Elojuhli and thus strengthen the position of taekwondo in Malminkartano.
