Kalajärvi taekwondo courses in a package for spring

Kalajärvi's hard-working taekwondo enthusiasts got to show their skills at the belt test held yesterday, Thursday, May 8, 2014. Those who started the first courses in Kalajärvi were able to take the green belt exam, and those who started this course had the yellow belt exams. A total of 9 enthusiastic testers took part in the belt tests and each of them performed the test very well! A few homeworks were given to some to practice before the final acceptance of the exam, but overall the exam was a good performance. The exam was taken by Juho Ranta, 2nd dan.

The people of Kalajärvi still have taekwondo training next week in Konala, when Kalajärvi school is closed. Exercises for both age groups at 17-18!

Congratulations again to all the belters!

Taekwondo athletes at the Madrid camp

Taekwondo athletes in top training in Madrid

MadridTaekwondo athletes' representatives Tanja Lovikka, Kasper Wargelin, Eddie Quinones and Sara Quinones have spent the Christmas break training taekwondo at the international camp of Finland's Olympic coach Jesus Ramal in Madrid.

During the week, the TU11 team has received top-level instruction and plenty of match experience against international opponents. The camp has teams, e.g. From Spain, Italy and Mexico.

On Sunday, the camp culminated in a huge indoor competition, where the competitors gained competition experience against their own competitors. This is a good starting point for 2014, for which every camper in Madrid has already set both domestic and international goals.

Below are Sara and Eddie's poom skills and pictures from the camp:

Summer and Jesus

1003873_10153134504120093_239740840_nJesus Ramal and Suvi Mikkonen will organize an international camp in Madrid on December 26-30, 2013. At least 2 athletes from our club will go to the camp. You go too. More information from Sampo.

Here is Suvi's message to Finnish taekwondo players:

"Finns! 26-30 December will be held in Madrid 2 winter camp! Last year the camp was amazing and this year many teams have already registered, for example: Mexico, Portugal, Scotland, Germany... And many others are interested. It is possible to get home accommodation with a family from our company, but there is not enough for everyone, so if you are interested, contact us and reserve your place!! Of course, you can also stay in a hotel. There is no information about the prices of the camp yet, but it is not expensive. Last year there were 3 Finns, I hope there will be more this year! There are 2 training sessions in 2 groups: children and cadets are 1 group and junior and senior are the other group. And the race on the last day. Are you going to miss it?”

Bronze for taekwondo athletes from the St. Petersburg Baltic Sea Cup

1265831_10200644835665103_783470035_oUp, down, up, down…

St. Petersburg's Baltic Sea Cup is a traditional team invitational tournament, where the following team was sent this year:
58 kg Toni Lahtinen, Loviisa Taekwondo (Mustafa Yevloyev, St. Petersburg)
-68 kg Sami Lahtinen, Loviisa Taekwondo
-80 kg Juho Kostiainen, TU11
+80 Teemu Heino, TU11
Coach: Petteri Kauppinen, TU11
Physiotherapist: Juho Ranta, TU11
Technical delegate and team leader: Sampo Pajulampi, TU11

 

The first setback was felt already on Thursday, when Toni Lahtinen got a new assignment for the rest of his military service, which meant canceling his weekend vacations. The matter was investigated persistently on Friday, but even though the Defense Forces were willing to be flexible, Toni was not included.

Therefore, the young Mustafa Yevloyev from St. Petersburg came to strengthen the team, who, despite his hard effort, was clearly a weaker player than Toni.

In the first round, they faced the first team from Moscow. The whole team had a rough start, and the match ended in a draw after Mustafa and Sami lost their match. When the draw still brought the -58 kilos for the deciding match, and Mustafa couldn't find new drugs, the opening round defeat was a fact.

In the second round, St. Petersburg's second team gave up -58 and -68 kilograms due to injuries. Teemu and Juho handled their part in an exemplary manner.

1262983_10200644835225092_200613214_oThe bronze medal match took place as an 8-minute match, so that each weight class competed for one minute in two rounds. Manual scoring and flying substitutions were used.

Juho and Teemu's high percentage points in particular brought a clear victory for Finland.

So bring bronze medals and crystal drinking glasses.

At the evening banquet, we discussed cooperation and good help in both directions came about commendably.
