Soon we will be able to train again under "normal conditions"! Last week we announced that we will open the hall for small group training (max 10 people) in the last two weeks of May, so that 1 close training and two live trainings will be organized for each group. You had to register in advance for local training. The groups are full, but the live workouts are running this week as well and very soon we will be able to go to the gym to train in a bigger group. 

The summer training calendar enters into force on June 1. and it will be published this week on the club's website at:

Read more about the summer exercises and training in this bulletin. It is partly the same as last week, but repetition is the mother of studies.

This week's live workouts

You can find live lessons and links to participate:

https://tu11.fi/taekwondo/live/

If the page does not show the hours correctly, refresh it by pressing (f5) or from the menu of your device.

You don't need to register for live lessons in advance, it's enough to participate via the website. The link guides you to the implementation of the Zoom service, no matter what your device is. To participate, you need a smart device with a camera, such as a computer, mobile phone or tablet. You can also participate without your own video, but in that case the instructor will not be able to give you feedback.

It's worth clicking on the coach's video after the workout has started, so that it is permanently attached to your screen as an active, i.e. large, video (pin video). You should also turn the sound off (mute) in your own video, but remember to turn it back on if you want to talk to the coach.

Please remember that you can collect training notes for the belt tests from all the video workouts and live workouts you complete. Younger enthusiasts must get their parents' signature for the completed training. Return your training entries to the gym after opening.

The age divisions are indicative and you can participate in any exercise. For young children, adult exercises may seem difficult, but that does not prevent participation.

So you can join our website's Live! from the section

Wed 20.5. 20:00-21:00 – Mobility training and stretching (all enthusiasts)

Thu 21.5. 17:00-17:45 – Children (under 12)
Thu 21.5. 18:00-19:00 – Youth and adults + competition groups (Over 12 years old)

Summer training

In June, when the gathering restrictions are relaxed, we will start training more closely in the gym, but still taking into account the necessary precautions and the prevailing restrictions and recommendations. We give even more detailed instructions to all enthusiasts regarding the procedures, and these are also reviewed with all groups in the gym.

In the summer, at least three exercises are organized for all age groups, of which at least one per week is carried out outside.

The exercises and being in the gym at the beginning of June are planned so that there is no close contact in any of the exercises and a distance of more than a meter is kept from the training buddies. Hands are always washed before and after exercises and training equipment is used as little as possible. The equipment used is always disinfected at the end of the day. You must not come to the exercises in pain, so stay home if you have even minor symptoms. The coach has the right to immediately remove the enthusiasts he interprets as sick from training based on his own judgment.

The summer training calendar will be published this week on the club's website.

NOTE! In all our actions, we take into account the regulations and guidelines of the authorities, so policies can change quickly.

The belt exams canceled in March will be held right at the beginning of June

A large part of those invited to the March belt exam had time to pay for the exam already in March. Many thanks for this! Enthusiasts who have already paid will have priority when we organize replacement trials at the beginning of June. An invitation to the exam will be sent separately to these enthusiasts.

We will organize more belt test events later in the summer, to which enthusiasts who have diligently collected training marks from live training will be invited, for example.

For all those who paid for their training taste in March-April, a free training month will be added to their current contract

In March and April, we organized a campaign in which we offered a free training month to everyone who paid for their next payment period, and two months if you paid for two training periods at once. We can only humbly thank you for the great support you have shown to the club in a challenging situation!

Free months are added to training contracts automatically, and the next invoice appears in the email as usual only when the entire paid period and the free month have passed. Some of the enthusiasts whose new payment started at the very end of April may have already received a new invoice, but the free training month will be automatically added to that payment period.

In addition to this, paid enthusiasts are offered or have been offered:

• Virtual workouts of the growing library
• Live training several times a week
• Self-paced exercise program for home training
• Possibility to borrow the club's fire mats for your own home training
• Free camps as soon as the hall is opened
• No summer break this year, but the exercises will continue without a break throughout the summer, if the situation allows
• Update or additional services for all contract types:
  • 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.
  • Children's athlete contract -> Free private lesson or lesson with a couple, depending on the age of the enthusiast.
