Spring training calendar for taekwondo athletes

Some changes to spring practice times

As the autumn season is still coming to an end, we are already looking to the future. Konala's spring training calendar has been edited. Due to the characteristics of our sport, the size of the groups, the age distribution and the distribution of belts live constantly, which forces us to check the training calendar again every time the season ends. Some of the changes are due, for example, to the fact that during the fall two groups practicing at the same time have grown so big that the gym is starting to get small for both. Some, on the other hand, have their roots in the instructors' scheduling issues. For the sake of clarity, the group in which the enthusiast should train at any given time is listed below.

 

Group Level Hobbyists
0-3 Babies, toddlers and toddlers See the descriptions in more detail on the groups' own pages
3-6 Rudiments Beginners, one sleeve label owners
Sequel Two sleeve badges and from the yellow belt upwards
7-14 Rudiments White and yellow belts
Sequel Yellow belts with one or two green ribbons
Advanced Green belts and higher belt values
14+ Rudiments White and yellow belts
Sequel Green and blue belts
Advanced Red and black belts
Match All Everyone from yellow upwards who are interested in the match
Elite A competitive team striving for international success
Business series Buff Everyone who is interested in practicing movement sequences

Early autumn events and dates

SEPTEMBER GALL COMPETITIONS

  • As usual, the first indoor competitions of autumn are organized on the last Friday of the current month 25.9.
  • Under-14s start at 5:00 p.m., cadets, B-juniors and adults at 7:00 p.m. If the cadets wish, they can start earlier with junior enthusiasts, if there are pairs of suitable size and level in the group.
  • We strongly recommend buying your own training protections from the gym's equipment store. If necessary, you can borrow protection from the club in indoor competitions, but the correct size and quality are not guaranteed.
  • NOTE! The elementary group of 7-14-year-olds does not have actual exercises on the day of the indoor competition. However, they can participate in the common warm-up part of indoor competitions and participate as a spectator. In the future, group members can participate in indoor competitions themselves
  • NOTE! The exercises for 3-6-year-olds have been combined into one group that practices from 17:00 to 18:00. The group then also has a playful competition day where they compete in various general physical skills.

OCTOBER BELT EXAMS

  • 3-6 year olds: Wed 14.10.
  • 7-14 year olds: Tue 13.10.
  • Adults: Thu 15.10.
  • More precise times and group divisions will be published closer to the exam
  • Getting to the belt exam requires, depending on the belt rank, a sufficient number of exercises and training months from the previous belt exam. Instructors check the number of visits based on the hall's bar code registrations. All participants in the belt test will be sent a confirmation e-mail about their participation in the test. The list can also be seen at the instructor's desk in the hall about a week before the exam.
  • A sports license from the Finnish Taekwondo Association is required for all participants in the test
