A successful race day at Nurtsi

Post date 1.4.2017

Taekwondo athletes third best club in the Games

The taekwondo athletes were on the move with a 24-person team in the Nurtzi Open competitions held in Nurmijärvi, where this year no less than 449 kickers competed against each other. There were no free medals when there were teams from Finland, Spain, Estonia, Sweden, Latvia, Iceland and Israel. The success of the taekwondo athletes is indicated by the fact that they went home in third place with the best club standing under their arms.

Excellent performances in the league series

The competitive spirit of the league contenders is clearly starting to be on point. There were enough top moments for everyone, but the series victories of Emmi, Tuiku, Sara, Bardia and Eddie were especially memorable. The nationalities of the opponents did not weigh much when Emmi and Tuikku's opponents fell one after the other with clear numbers. Bardia's tactics changed on the fly against the Icelandic opponent in the final when the opponent's warning account started to fill up. Bardia ran forward with speed, forcing his opponent to make repeated mistakes and finally got him to be discus. Sara and Eddie once again showed how to score points with a high percentage. Lauri, Luca and Plum also got international competition experience, but this time they lost in the opening rounds. Sam's flu froze his legs after the first round that started well. Aino won his first match, but after a long stretch in the second match, the Estonian resistance pulled a longer one. Similarly, Jenny's long Swedish resistance took the win, but Jenny's movement and swagger were amazing to watch. Unfortunately, Juri was drawn directly to the final against Eddie and took home the silver from the mutual struggle of the teammates.

In the amateurs, cheerful performance and tight twists

Iine's point mill started once again in the first match and did not stop grinding until a fair point win in the final. A hard kick combined with reasonable use promises good things in the future. Janika also won the series with a mature and accurate match. Especially Janika's business worked perfectly. The same exact and careful search for scoring positions was also shown by Aleksi, who had to stop in the middle of his second match due to a leg injury. Venne, Henri and Joonas each won their opening matches, but had to admit defeat in others. Opening losses for Risto, Frans, Kaisla, Teemu and Markus.

Juho, Pauli, Riina were the coaches in the games and Alberto Celestrin was the guest star. A big thank you to Alberto and the other coaches, as well as the whole team and the maintenance crew!

See you at the gym!

The business league team is deafeningly efficient in Lohja

Post date 12.3.2017

16 medals from the first business series competitions of the season

Lohja Open 2017 opened the competition season of domestic business series on Saturday 11.3. The games had a record number of participants and a total of 32 series were played. Of these, Taekwondo athletes were represented in 13 series, 16 of which won a medal. Officially, the best team was not awarded, but it's hard to say better!

From the ranking series, Plum got bronze for cadet boys as well as under 17-parwith Mia from the Espoo Hwarang Team. Aino and Sara competed with a special permit in the cadet series much younger than the others, but it seemed that age doesn't matter much by grabbing a double win in the series. Gold for Aino and silver for Sara. Bronze for Aino, Sara and EHT's Mia from the under 17 group. Bronze for Christian in both the under 30 men and the elimination series.

In the yellow women, Maija took silver, a really great performance from a first-timer! The minion trio Bella, Victoria and Sofia roared both among amateur women and among the lynx in their own age group. Gold for Bella in green women, green lynxes, lynx couples with Victoria and amateur group with Victoria and Sofia. Victoria also took gold from blue ladies and blue lynxes. Sofia took her lynx series as a warm-up and saved the bangs for the amateurs, from which the silver came off right after Victoria's gold. Bella and Victoria disturbed even more in the pairs of upper belts by taking silver there as well. The wild results and the number of sets speak once again about the effectiveness of the coaching activities and the athletes' goal-oriented approach to training. So thank you to the poomsa coaches, athletes and supporters!

Essi and Petteri acted as coaches in the competition.

Indoor competitions on Friday 27.1.

Post date 20.1.2017

The first indoor competitions of the spring season are held on Friday 27.1

Participation is free for everyone, and you do not need to register separately. Competitors from outside the club are also warmly welcome.

17:00-19:00 – E, D, and C2 (9-12-year-olds and 12-14-year-old beginners)

18:00-19:00 5-6 year olds have their own skills competition

19:00-21:00 – C1, B1, B2, R1 and H (12-14-year-old cadets, +15-year-olds)

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.

A huge haul of trophies from the Ambassador's Cup

Post date 12.11.2016

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)

Post date 2.8.2016

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.

The coaches are happy to answer all questions about schedules and group divisions. You can also send an email to info@taekwondourheilijat.fi or call 0451827290.

Great medal haul for Christian and Ess from Holland

Post date 12.6.2016

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!
