As autumn begins to turn into winter, the evenings have darkened again. Please remember that a lot of children and young people move around the gym during training, so you should be especially careful when driving. Especially the corner next to the door of the hall can be a place of danger if a child speeds into the driveway. Also instruct children to move carefully and use a reflector.
If you come to practice by car, avoid parking next to the walls in the narrow space between the buildings. In the event of emergency situations, emergency vehicles must be able to move freely in the area.
Autumn has already come a long way, and even the last summer vacationers have returned to the gym. The groups have been packed night after night. In the case of junior enthusiasts, we switched to group division according to belt values in the early fall. If someone is still wondering which group they should train in, here's a guide: Everyone who started the sport in the summer or fall trains in the Beginners group. The advanced group is intended for all yellow-belts, and the advanced group is for green belts and up. 3-6 year olds still train on Mondays and Wednesdays in two groups. Group sharing can be flexible due to overlapping expenses or to facilitate shared rides.
The autumn competition calendar looks pretty full, both in terms of indoor competitions and national competitions. Indoor competitions are a great way to try competing in a familiar environment at the Konala gym. Taekwondo athletes recommend everyone to buy their own protection from the club's equipment sales point and to try it out without prejudice, also for national competitions.

Now is a good time to buy your own protection
If necessary, enthusiasts can use the club's worn-out loan covers, but their own is of course the recommended option. You can ask for protection from any instructor at the club's equipment store. You can get off to a good start by buying arm and shin guards, which are often needed during training as well.
The team of taekwondo athletes collected a lot of positions from the Park Cup competition in Paraisi organized on 27.9. In general, the club's race times seemed to be in good shape right at the beginning of the fall, but there was still room for improvement. The next time we go to Porvoo for the medal hunt on October 10-11.
In baby taekwondo, we get to know the latest training equipment..
On Monday, we happily practiced taekwondo with the babies again. During the training, muscles were strengthened, basic technique was reviewed, shoulders and back were taken care of, and above all - fun was had. The group can accommodate a couple of baby gymnasts to take care of their body holistically. There are still 12 practice sessions left. Welcome!
The first belt test of the fall for junior enthusiasts
The first belt tests of the autumn season for junior enthusiasts are held:
3-6 years crazy 17.9
17-18: Elementary group
18-19: Extension group
7-14 years crazy 23.9
17-18.30: Yellow belt and one green ribbon
18:30-20:00: Two green ribbons and higher belts
Those enthusiasts who have enough training times and time from the last belt test can take the belt exams. A list of these people will be posted on the notice board in the hall. You can ask the instructors of your group for more information. The prices of belt tests can be found From the price list. The price of the test includes a new belt or a ribbon at the end of the belt.
Practicing in a group is a very effective way to learn taekwondo and training in the company of others is more comfortable than alone. Sometimes it still happens that you don't always have time to get an answer to all the things that make you doubt yourself, or you've missed some exercises and the belt exams are fast approaching. More grown-up people, on the other hand, may have accumulated all kinds of aches and pains in their bodies, which do not seem to be helped by group training. For these situations, Taekwondo athletes offers private lessons!
Private lessons are always tailored according to the client's needs, and the content can therefore be exactly what you want. Basic technique, match technique, mobility, strength training or creating a training plan are just examples of what the lesson can contain, you decide. Naturally, all the equipment in Konala's gym is in use during the private lesson, and you can also bring a friend or two to the private lesson and do a small group exercise. Lessons can be asked from all instructors by email at info@taekwondourheiljat.fi or asked in the gym during the exercises.
With the help of private teaching, considerable progress can be achieved in a quick time, so if you want to reach your goals even faster, here is a way to help!

Guarantee26 eager children and young people were able to practice taekwondo under the guidance of Paul and Tanja at the wondour players' summer camp. There were training sessions twice a day, and in them we delved into changing themes ranging from acrobatics to matches and from movement sequences to self-defense. Some of the riders got a fast-paced first contact with the sport. Between workouts, we spent time outdoors and excited about Kung-fu Panda's adventures. A tasty lunch was eaten at the lunch table of the cafe Corelli, and additional energy was refueled in the afternoon with a snack. Taekwondo athletes thank all campers.
