How do you get to the belt exams?

You can get to the belt exams by collecting enough practice marks from the previous belt exam. We calculate training visits based on recorded workouts, so Please remember to record your exercise with a track tag every time you go to the gym. 

The prerequisite for entering the exam is also that you know the things required in the exam, the movement sequences, and follow the rules of behavior in the gym at a sufficient level.

You do not need to register for the exam in advance. However, please let us know if you are not going to participate in the exam after receiving the invitation by email. Also let us know if you didn't receive an invitation, but you think you should have a belt test. 

What is required in the belt test?

In the belt exam, you need to know the technical requirements of the exam and the sets of movements. The requirements of the previous exams also still have to be mastered.

Practice instructions for belt tests

How should you prepare for the exams?

The best preparation for the exam is to attend training actively and versatile. For example, enthusiasts who emphasize match training should also attend basic training from time to time, and correspondingly, those training in basic hobby groups should deepen their skills in the form of match training and movement sets.

Movement sets should be practiced especially well, because they gather almost all the techniques required in the exam and embody the ability of the enthusiast to rhythm the techniques and generate strength in them. After learning a new movement sequence, repeat it as much as possible.

In the weeks before the exam, movement sets are also repeated more than usual in training.

Aino took bronze in the hard level 4th Lents Taekwondo Worldwide Sports Online Poomsae Open competition. There were 25 participants in Aino's cadet series from all over the world. Winning the medal required three top rounds, and Aino did not disappoint in this regard. 

The club congratulates Aino on his wonderful performance.

Marita also cleared her way to the final round, but this time her performance was not enough for medals. 

In April, those over the age of 13 trained completely remotely due to the corona restrictions. We published a live training competition, where the enthusiasts who collected the most workouts are rewarded with Pro Dobok Finland gift cards. 

The winners are now clear:

1. Riku Kytömäki 
2. Marita Jaakkola and Suaad Onniselkä 
3. Elizabeth Anttila and Petteri Anttila 

Big congratulations to the winners! 

Southern Finland AVI continued its policy regarding the closure of private sports facilities until the end of April. Those born in 2008 and later are still allowed to continue training in the gym, but the parents train remotely. Please check your own training times if necessary:

PRACTICE TIMES

LIVE WORKOUTS

Daily quick workouts and live workouts

We publish a new day's quick workout almost every weekday at 3 pm on our website, Facebook and YouTube channel. Quick workouts are approximately 10-minute workouts that can be done anytime and anywhere. The workouts are suitable for both beginners and experts.

There will be surprise prizes for those who did the most speed workouts. Enthusiasts report after the bracket how many quick workouts they did. To participate in the quick workouts, you have to prepare to testify by answering a few easy questions about the topics of the workouts.

In addition to this, we continue to compile a virtual training bank on our website.

VIRTUAL LESSONS

Book a private lesson or a hall for your own use

In accordance with AVI's decision, the hall is closed. However, the ban does not apply to family events. You can reserve area 1 for the use of your family living in the same household, if your family has a valid internship contract for a person born in 2007 or earlier. You can book two hours in a row, but only once a week. Bookable hours are checked in the system. Area 1 is accessed through the HAC corridor door.

It is also possible to organize private lessons. Book private lessons by arranging an hour with the coach, and then reserve the gym for your use.

During private reservations, the use of equipment is allowed, but please remember to disinfect them at the end of the training.

Note! anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible guardian.

FOR RESERVATIONS

AVI's instruction

"The space can be rented for private use within the scope of private and family life. Such use is, for example, using the space to organize birthday parties or weddings. For example, the scope of private and family life does not include sports team practices or the use of the gym with strangers, even if the space has been rented by a private person.

The regional administrative agency cannot precisely define the maximum allowed number of employees. The private person who rented the space can bring a personal trainer or other private teacher with them to the space if they so wish. However, this type of activity cannot be recommended, as avoiding unnecessary close contact is important to reduce the risk of infection."

We organize outdoor training opportunities for competition groups, as well as independent training separately from our instructions.

Thanks to everyone for participating in the corona meeting! You can read the materials here:

Corona meeting-for companions-April-2021

 

The prolonged corona situation has created significant financial challenges for Taekwondo athletes' club activities, as we reported at the end of March.

The support memberships that have arrived have helped in a tight situation. We also started a campaign that allows you to support both the club and underprivileged children and young people's hobbies during and after a difficult time. There have been a lot of support donations, and we can once again be grateful and proud of the steadfast support of our enthusiasts and those close to us.

The campaign is still going on, so welcome to donate or join as a supporting member. See more and support!>>

A big thank you to all the supporters and enthusiasts who are involved in keeping the activity going!

OKM's special grant for taekwondo athletes

The tight situation was also relieved by a special grant from the Ministry of Education and Culture, through which we were able to apply for a €7,000 grant to make up for the shortfall in operations during the corona period. With support members, donations and OKM's assistance, the situation looks brighter, but all support is still needed.

We will continue to have to make precise choices regarding the running of the activity, but it goes without saying that the main focus will continue to be on the quality and quantity of hobby activities for all age groups.

More information about the club's situation and activities in exceptional circumstances on Tuesday 6.4.

We will organize on Tuesday 6.4. Zoom meeting for all fans of the club and for their guardians from 17:00 to 18:00. At the meeting, the club's corona measures, alternative forms of training and the situation in general will be reviewed. We hope that you will send us any mind-boggling questions or wishes about training formats in advance via Whatsapp or e-mail. Guardians of enthusiasts under the age of 13 are also expected to participate in the meeting.
