New dan values for taekwondo athletes

The examinees and the examiner after a successful dan exam

On Saturday, September 23, 2017, belt exams were held at the Taekwondo athletes' hall for the first four black belt tryouts and two who are increasing their dan rank. The seven-hour sweat job with ceremonies was crowned at eight in the evening, when the former red belts got the darkest belt on their hips. The whole group passed the belt exam with flying colours, and despite the occasional heavy fatigue, the faith in their own doing remained amazingly well in the end, even though the organizers of the belt exam, Teemu Heino and Juho Kostiainen, tried their best to challenge the test takers and sometimes even slightly open the door to disbelief.

It was gratifying to see how the trainees' understanding of technique, power output and fighting in its various forms has developed to a level that entitles them to a black belt. In both forms of competition, in the series of moves and in the match, the overall performance was strong. Of course, specialization in these forms of sports was visible in the tests in both directions, but on the other hand, it would be worrying if it was not visible. When the performances were good across the board even in the weakest part, you can be satisfied with the test also from the sports club's point of view.

Christian's flying back spin kick was seen dozens of times during the test

It's always a celebration when more black belts are added to the club. Our club, now six years old, is in a situation where enthusiasts who have started with us are increasingly becoming aware of the value of a black belt, and the number of black belt test takers will probably increase in the coming years. Good luck with your new black belts! Remember that the road is just beginning!

On September 23, 2017, they successfully increased their belt value

  • Matti Sairanen, 3rd dan
  • Christian Kamphuis, 2nd dan
  • Severi Sarala, 1st dan
  • Enni Jaakkola, 1st dan
  • Sami Leskinen, 1st dan
  • Aleksi Väyrynen, 1st dan
