Training of competition teams

Enthusiasts of competition groups receive a separate training program, which allows you to carry out characteristic training even at home.

Athletes preparing for value competitions receive separate instructions on training when the gym is closed.

Support the club's activities in a difficult situation and pay your future training fee in advance. In exchange, we offer training time in your contract!

The mild economic effects of the epidemic are difficult for many parties, including Taekwondo athletes. Vakka operations will be reduced to a minimum, the club's fixed expenses, such as rent and salaries, will remain as before. As the situation drags on, the continuity of the club is at stake. Because of this, we appeal to everyone, for whom it is at all possible, to continue your training contract and help the club through this difficult situation. To encourage this, we have decided to launch the following campaign:

• By paying for your next contract period (3 months) by the end of April, you will receive one additional month of exercises free of charge
• By paying for two contract seasons at once (6 months), we add two extra months to the training contract

The campaigns automatically apply to all new 3-month payment periods that start in March or April. If your payment period does not start until after this time, you can take advantage of the campaign by paying for your training period in advance. You must also notify us separately if you want to take the 6-month offer instead of the 3-month one.

Training when the gym opens again

We will return to the normal schedule as soon as it is possible and, above all, safe. We follow the regulations and recommendations of the authorities, and it may be that the training has to be applied in the beginning, e.g. by emphasizing individual exercises or limiting group sizes.

However, we want to think in advance of ways in which we can thank enthusiasts who have paid their training fees even when we have not been able to offer a full service.

Additional camps

We organize a few extra camps free of charge for all enthusiasts who have paid the training fee without interruption.

No summer break this year

This summer, we will train throughout the summer, if the situation only allows it at that point. Normally, we have kept the doors of the gym closed for a few weeks in July, but this summer we will continue training even beyond this time. Exercises are therefore offered throughout the summer for all age groups

Additional services for all contracts

We offer tangible benefits to all those who have paid their training fee without interruption in their contract

• Basic agreement for adults -> A month's training right for the weight room
• Basic contract for children -> One month training right for the children's competition team
• Adult athlete contract -> One month's training right at the weight room. Private lesson for those who already have a contract for the gym.

[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”11214″ media_width_percent=”50″][vc_column_text]Epidemian taloudelliset lieveilmiöt ovat hankalia monelle taholle, niin myös Taekwondourheilijoille. Vakka toiminta supistuu minimiin, säilyvät seuran kiinteät kulut, kuten vuokrat ja palkat, entisellään. Tilanteen pitkittyessä seuran jatkuvuus on vaakalaudalla. Tämän johdosta vetoamme kaikkiin, kenelle se suinkin on mahdollista, että jatkaisitte harjoitussopimuksianne ja osaltanne auttaisitte seuraa tämän vaikean tilanteen yli. Tämän rohkaisemiseksi olemme päättäneen aloittaa seuraavan kampanjan:

• By paying for your next contract period (3 months) by the end of April, you will receive one additional month of exercises free of charge
• By paying for two contract seasons at once (6 months), we add two extra months to the training contract

The coronavirus is raging around the world and Finland is on the brink of an epidemic. The situation is alive every day, and a lot is already happening in a few days. Taekwondo athletes 2011 ry recognizes its own role in preventing and possibly limiting the epidemic and feels its responsibility in this matter. The board of the club has been meeting all week and at today's meeting we made the decision to calm the situation for the weekend and use the weekend time to monitor the development of the situation and make the best possible decisions for the benefit of our fans.

Practices on Friday evening (13.3.2020) will be held as usual, but for the weekend, all activities at the gym are suspended. The suspension includes practices according to the calendar on Saturday (March 14) and Sunday (March 15), including family groups, as well as Saturday's crushing camp. For family groups, replacement exercises will be organized at a later date. Likewise, a new date for the crushing camp will be sought as soon as the situation permits.

Taekwondo athletes will make decisions about next week's activities and measures on Sunday evening. On Monday morning, March 16, 2020, there will be a new member information about the activities of the week that started at that time. We regret that we cannot guarantee normal activity in the coming weeks, but we strive to guarantee the safest possible training conditions for enthusiasts in this difficult situation. In terms of the continuity of club activities, the support of the entire TU11 community is now especially important!

On Friday, when you possibly go to the gym, remember to be especially careful with washing your hands. Everyone washes their hands with soap before the exercises. Pair exercises and all close contact with other trainees have also been removed from Friday's exercises. Despite the difficult conditions, have a nice weekend!

- The board of the Taekwondo athletes 2011 association
