Registration for spring 2021 family groups has opened

Register quickly, because there are limited places

Spring 2021 family groups start in the last week of January. Training is organized for babies and toddlers (not walking) on Tuesdays from 13:00 to 14:00. Naperos, muksus and families train as usual on Sunday afternoon. 

Family groups of taekwondo athletes are a joint exercise moment for child and parent. Neither of them needs to have previous experience in the sport or even exercise in general, so the course is suitable as a first introduction to sports. Of course, there is some kind of additional challenge for more experienced goers.

The groups are kept small and the training takes into account the prevailing corona situation. There can also be changes to training, even on a quick schedule, if the situation requires it. However, the course is only billed afterwards, and the price takes into account possible cancellations, etc. 

Welcome aboard!

Family groups of taekwondo athletes

Baby Taekwondo (0-1 years old with a parent)

Toddler taekwondo (1-2 year olds with a parent)

Naperotaekwondo (2-3 year olds with a parent)

Muksutaekwondo (3-5 year olds with a parent)

Family taekwondo (+5 years old with a parent)

Effects of the spreading phase of the coronavirus epidemic on recreational activities

Helsinki and the rest of the capital region have entered the spreading phase of the coronavirus epidemic. Cities have issued new recommendations and restrictions regarding hobby activities. In particular, the new recommendations affect group exercises for adults.

Taekwondo athletes want to bear their responsibility not only in curbing the epidemic but also as a provider of exercise and sports opportunities for all age groups. We have tried to find a model where both of these goals can be realized. The biggest changes concern the training groups for adults, but other changes will also be made to the training calendar and the structure of the exercises for the next three weeks, so that the exercises can be organized safely.

The following measures are implemented in the exercises 23.11.-13.12. I will continue to inform you separately later.

  • Only two basic exercises per week are organized for all age groups, so that there is space in the evenings for steps. Correspondingly, this way the groups get more training space, which makes it easier to maintain safety distances.
  • Live exercises are organized for young people and adults Zoomthrough the service, and for children we recommend additional exercises, such as children's amateur matches, movement sets and general exercise.
  • The exercises for adults are organized completely non-contact and in such a way that the safety intervals can be kept throughout the exercise. The restriction does not apply to the training of competition teams.
  • Additional training sessions for adults, which gather trainees from many groups, are cancelled. These exercises include e.g. fitness circuit, core, amateur match, amateur movement series and stretching. The exercises are replaced by live workouts and they can be added if they prove to be popular. Sunday's kick practice is still held, because then the whole hall is in use and it is easy to take care of the safety intervals.
  • In the competition groups of the match, cadets and young people and adults are combined. In this way, there is more space in the calendar.
  • The training times have changed for some of the groups. Make sure to check the new training times of your own group.
  • December's belt exams will be organized, but in some groups with special measures. Regarding the DAN exam, we will inform you separately.

See the new training calendar HERE >>

Updates to the corona guidelines

We have made a few updates to the corona instructions. Read the instructions and obligations HERE >>

Every enthusiast, coach and guardian is responsible for following the instructions.

A big thank you once again for your understanding and patience with security restrictions and changes. Certainly, spring already looks significantly brighter as far as the epidemic is concerned.

The City of Helsinki's recommendations for hobby activities

Taekwondo athletes' decisions are based on the situational assessment of the City of Helsinki and the Regional Administrative Agency and recommendations based on them.

The city of Helsinki suspends 23.11. from team and contact sports training for over 20-year-olds for three weeks and also recommends that private players do the same. In addition, it is recommended that all exercises for adults are performed in the same group.

The use of a face mask is required in all indoor facilities managed by the city from people over 15 years old, and this also applies to exercise facilities other than during exercise.

In hobby and group activities, all private operators are required to make changes in their operations, e.g. as follows:

  • Mixing of groups is reduced.
  • Hugging, shouting and unnecessary gatherings are avoided.
  • Entry is staggered.
  • The number of escorts and guardians in the premises will be reduced.
  • The size of the groups will be reduced.
  • Safety distances are increased by space arrangements.
  • Exercises and activities are moved outside.
  • Some of the hobbies are carried out remotely.
  • The content of the exercises will be changed.

The poom test crowned the belt test week for Taekwondo athletes

Excellent level in the Poom exam! 

In Konala, we got to witness the results of determined training as Sara Quinones, Bella Buuri, Victoria Hentunen and Iines Korhonen showed their skills in the poom test. For enthusiasts under 15 years old, the Poom rank corresponds to the DAN rank, i.e. black belt.

Sara already completed the 3rd Poom value and the other test takers are doing the 1st Poom. The test day was the culmination of years of determined and hard work, and the test subjects really showed that a lot of lessons have been learned along the way.

The test started in the morning with Petter's intensive technique section, where the entire spectrum of taekwondo techniques was reviewed, from kicks to hand techniques and steps. There was enough speed in the test as well as the trialists, and even the intense kick rallies did not freeze the trialists.

After the technical part, the trainees demonstrated their knowledge of the sport in the theory test and at the same time gathered strength for the afternoon wrestling part.

The test continued with Paul's fighting part, where the test takers' ability to apply technique was tested in the form of step fights, self-defense and a taekwondo match. At the end, speed was still sought with jump kicks and smashes.

At the end of the day, it was easy for Paul and Petter to say that the performance was excellent throughout, and all the test takers had earned their belts. One milestone has now been completed, but there are still many challenges ahead

Big congratulations to the new Poom values and good luck with your future training!

Excellent level in the belt tests throughout the week

In addition to the Poom tests, all age groups, except for small children, completed another belt test last week under the watchful eye of Paul and Minna.

On Tuesday, new belt values were completed by adults and young yellow belts and green belts. The level of the group was amazing and I strongly recommend everyone to actively participate in additional exercises in the future, such as the amateur movement series and match. The intensive training was reflected in the performances.

the same can be said about the test for superior children on Wednesday and the test for superior youth and adults on Thursday. The basic level was high, but those who have actively delved deeper into the aspects of the sport beyond the basic training were able to excel.

On Friday, Minna received the groups of yellow and green ribbons. Again, the performances were great, although there was a little fumbling in the movement sequences. All you have to do is bravely participate in Tuesday's amateur movement series training, where poomsae are actively practiced.

Congratulations to everyone on their new belt ranks!
