If you are not sure which group you should join, feel free to contact the coaches. In particular, it is worth asking for the larger C2 shunts if more suitable resistors could be found in a later shift. We encourage all new enthusiasts to participate in the games, even if they don't even know what competing means. The first time you can look at the moods or even try it yourself if you feel like it.
You can borrow the missing protectors from the club, but we recommend everyone to buy their own training protectors. Ask more from the gym's equipment store and coaches.
Note! No other exercises will be organized on the day of the Salika competition.
Taekwondo athletes' first wave newsletter
It's time to get back to training routines again. There have been some small schedule changes for spring, which you should check practice times –from the side. In the newsletter below, you will find the most important information and dates that you should mark in your calendar.
The Ambassador's Cup, organized for the second time, gathered taekwondo people to compete both in movement series and in a match in Vantaa's Tikkurila on November 12, 2016. Taekwondo athletes had a strong representation in both forms of competition, and we can be very satisfied with the day's performances.
Competitors at a good pace
The taekwondo athletes had no fewer than 29 representatives in the match series, so there was enough excitement for the whole day. The huge trophy haul shows that there were enough top moments and successes. A busy coach doesn't quite notice all the tricks, but at least Paul remembered Venne's gutsy three-win fight for a series win, Lauri's accurate spot-kicks, Iines' ferocious kicking power, Jenny's tremendous self-confidence, Janika's tactical skills, Plum's solid work ethic, Aleksi's will to win, Bardia's struggle against the Estonian hurray, and Jaden's , Markus and Kaisla's brave first contact on the national competition mats. Many other things also fell into place, and as said, one coach's eye is not enough to see everyone.
Sampo, Pauli, Juho, Riina, Petteri and Teemu were responsible for the coaching on the match side. The exchange of words between the coaches after the games was very positive. As the season draws to a close, many goals can already be considered fulfilled for the fall. Another big thank you from the coaching team to all the competitors and congratulations on your success!
An efficient and stylish team in the business series
The team of taekwondo athletes got in shape for competition under the treatment of the team's official stylist, Somporn Kopisto. The team was easily the most stylish of the games and there was no doubt about their efficiency. The coaches are Juho Ranta and Essi Labart. Of course, Essi managed to grab gold in both of his series before this. In general, the upswing of business series athletes that continued throughout the fall continued again at the Ambassador's Cup. Essi was satisfied and proud of the team's performance, and Juhokaa did not spare hyperbole in his later report.
The club and the coaching team congratulate the winners!
Special thanks to Subaru, who provided the team with subs at the end of the race! #hankssubaru

Autumn training times (updated 9 August)
The final touches to the autumn training calendar have been made. Changes were made on 9.8. for Wednesday, so that the competition group of the match would not have three late shifts in a row.
The autumn training calendar comes into effect on Monday 15.8. It has changed from the spring season calendar, not only in terms of practice times but also group divisions. The aim of the changes is to serve customers as comprehensively as possible, so that everyone can practice in a suitably sized group with fellow enthusiasts of the same age and level. A wide range of in-depth exercises guarantees the opportunity to develop at your own pace, whether the goal is in elite sports or personal development.
It is easy to check the group divisions in the following table. You can find your own group at the intersection of age and belt value.
Valmentajat vastaavat mielellään kaikkiin aikatauluja ja ryhmäjakoja koskeviin kysymyksiin. Voit myös lähettää sähköpostia osoitteeseen info@tu11.fi tai soittaa numeroon 0451827290.
Taekwondo athletes Christian Kamphuis showed his nails at the Dutch Open of the business series at the weekend. The brightest medal was won by Christian from the over 18 freestyle series. The silver was hung around the neck in the very tough U30 individual series. Left behind, e.g. Switzerland's Steve Marro, who leads the ETU ranking. Värisuora was completed with bronze in the U30 doubles series with Essi. Essi sadly missed the final in his own U30 individual series, finishing ninth in the competition. The coach on the trip was Heikki Liukkonen, the club's representative and the head coach of the business league national team.
The club congratulates the medalists on a great race trip!
On May 14, 2016, the movement series competitions were held in Rauma, and among the Taekwondo athletes, Plum Kopisto and Aino Kortelainen participated in the competitions, coached by Essi Labart. The competitions went really well for the club's competitors and the results speak for themselves:
Gold Aino Kortelainen, lynx green belts
Silver Aino Kortelainen, adult enthusiasts, blue belts
Silver Plum Kopisto, cadets
Especially Aino's success at the age of 8 in the adult amateur series is a performance worth raising our hats to. The coaches congratulate the competition team!
