You can find the prices of belt tests from here. You can pay for the exam on the spot in cash or afterwards using the normal invoicing method.

Getting to the exams requires enough practice notes and months from the previous exam. The techniques and movement sequences used in the exercises must also be mastered in the exam. If you don't know which movement sequence or things you need to know in the exam, feel free to ask your instructor. Those who qualify for the belt test will be announced in the gym on the board next to the instructor's desk at the beginning of week 20 and in connection with the exercises. Make sure with your instructor that you know the necessary things. The most important thing in the exam, however, is hard work and the process of doing things.

In addition, participating in the belt tests requires a sport license from the Finnish Taekwondo Federation, which you can order for one year at a time from here.

Taekwondo athletes' events at the beginning of the year

 

Information for the beginning of the year for taekwondo athletes

Happy new year to all fans of the club! Training has started again in January in Konala with the same schedule as in the fall. The group divisions have not changed either. If you currently do not know in which group you should train, contact the instructors. In Tapiola, there have been some minor changes to training times and groups, which you should check on the website on the Tapiola subpage.

As spring rolls around, the events of Taekwondo athletes as well as other clubs and federations start to become more frequent. The most important spring events have been compiled in this newsletter, but you should also keep an eye on the news releases on our website and subscribe to the newsletter if you haven't done so yet. It is also worth checking the event calendar of the Finnish Taekwondo Association from time to time. Participation in the association's events and Taekwondo athletes' belt exams requires the possession of the association's sport license. So if the license is still missing for this year, I'll go to the website of the Taekwondo Association to order it.

Have a really good and fast-paced year!

Please drive carefully in the vicinity of the hall

As autumn begins to turn into winter, the evenings have darkened again. Please remember that a lot of children and young people move around the gym during training, so you should be especially careful when driving. Especially the corner next to the door of the hall can be a place of danger if a child speeds into the driveway. Also instruct children to move carefully and use a reflector.

If you come to practice by car, avoid parking next to the walls in the narrow space between the buildings. In the event of emergency situations, emergency vehicles must be able to move freely in the area.

Have a safe fall!

Late autumn events

 

Taekwondo athletes end-of-autumn bulletin

Autumn has already come a long way, and even the last summer vacationers have returned to the gym. The groups have been packed night after night. In the case of junior enthusiasts, we switched to group division according to belt values in the early fall. If someone is still wondering which group they should train in, here's a guide: Everyone who started the sport in the summer or fall trains in the Beginners group. The advanced group is intended for all yellow-belts, and the advanced group is for green belts and up. 3-6 year olds still train on Mondays and Wednesdays in two groups. Group sharing can be flexible due to overlapping expenses or to facilitate shared rides.

The autumn competition calendar looks pretty full, both in terms of indoor competitions and national competitions. Indoor competitions are a great way to try competing in a familiar environment at the Konala gym. Taekwondo athletes recommend everyone to buy their own protection from the club's equipment sales point and to try it out without prejudice, also for national competitions.

If you want Taekwondo athletes' announcements directly to your email, add your name to the "subscribe to newsletter" section on the side of the page.

Have a really nice end of autumn!
