2.4. almost 50 athletes from their own club and from Vantaa, Espoo, Kerava, Nurmijärvi, Helsinki and Forssa sweated in the organized indoor competitions. The evening was quite busy and I didn't get to finish until well after nine.
As for the sleds, we started with a joint warm-up and then got into close battles. The large number of participants limited most of the matches to two or three, but the wildest ones managed to take five matches.
Finnish Taekwondo Federation's referee trainer Tatu Iivanainen was also present, this time mainly in the capacity of a coach. Tatu gave valuable tips on judging and our own judge Janne Rita got good sparring for the upcoming tournaments.
The biggest team in the history of taekwondo athletes is together when we head to Nurmijärvi to compete in the Finnish Taekwondo Association's match league competition on April 13, 2013 at Maaniitun Koulu, at Heikkiläntie 27, 01900 Nurmijärvi.
There are 14 athletes in the team. It will be especially interesting to see if the one who does it gets back on the mat Teemu Heino opponents and whether any of them will challenge the multiple prize medalist.
The coaches are Sampo Pajulampi, Teemu Heino, Petteri Kauppinen, Juho Ranta and Juho Kostiainen.

Below is a summary of the taekwondo league series:
Tuesday 2.4. the club's indoor competitions are organized on Tuesdays during normal training shifts so that 7-10-year-olds and 11-15-year-olds compete at 17:00-19:00. Beginner and advanced group members can come and compete for the whole two hours, but it doesn't matter if you can only come for one hour.
Scoring takes place in the traditional way.
After the children, the adults get to play from 19:00 onwards. Even adults, regardless of age, size and belt rank. Everyone can try the match with their own level of resistance.
Everyone is welcome to the event. The event is free for TU11 enthusiasts, a participation fee of 10 euros is charged for others.
23.3. we train in top-level coaching, when Kim Sinisalo comes to direct the training of the match camp. During his taekwondo career, Kim has coached the Finnish national team and individuals, e.g. Teemu Heinoa, Juho Kostiai, Mari Lapinsaloa and many other top players in our country. In the Olympics, he represented our country as a coach twice. Today, he works as an advisor to our club and an independent taekwondo thinker in addition to his main job. Sinisalo is currently perhaps the most respected sports expert in our country and the most sought-after instructor at camps. Camp trips and coaching consultations accumulate almost every weekend around the country. So now there is real excellence available in our own gym!
The match camp is intended for everyone interested in matches. Of course, you can participate even if you don't have match experience yet. The emphasis is on basic things such as match position, movement and basic performances.
Program:
10.00 – 11.00 Children (EC), preparatory exercise, TU11 instructors
A total of 11 taekwondo athletes took part in the Loviisa games. There were first timers as well as standard equipment.
Juniors
In the boys' D2 under 30kg series, Luca Leskinen suffered an opening loss to Hipko Team's Jopi Helle. In the same series, Joni Ståhl won the first match in style, but succumbed to Christmas in the semifinals. However, bronze for both boys.
In the boys' D2 under 34kg series, the first-timer Alireza Piraveisi showed convincing performances, winning both of his matches with clear numbers. So gold for Alireza with a great performance.
In the boys' D2 under 37kg series, there was a final between TU11 boys, when Megii Moullaev and Eddie Quinones both clear their way to the final. Megii was better this time and took the gold medal. Great matches from Eddie again and this time a silver medal.
In the boys' D1 under 34kg series, Sisu Salmenniemi lost in the semi-final round of a very tight and tough match in the overtime.
This time, Aaha Moullaev competed in a higher weight category, but fought nicely to a tie until the very end of the match, but had to give up in the last seconds for silver.
Sophia Vassilaki started with a win in the girls' C1 -44kg series. In the final, however, Sophia had to bow to Jyväskylä's Vilja Aalto.
Sara Quinones did not find an opponent this time in the E-jobs under 28kg series, but we hope that Sara will get to fight for the first time.
Adults
Among the adults, as usual, 2012's Jaakko Saha was included, for whom only one opposition was found this time. Jaakko dominated the match and took the job home in style, even though headers were forbidden in Jaakko's series this time.
Sami Leskinen was an unlucky warrior in the men's amateur series. Sami's hand was broken in the first match and the games stopped at that. Get well soon Sam!
In the women's under 49kg category, Tanja Lovikka won her first match by clear numbers, but had to admit that Jyväskylä's Lotta Linna was better in the final.
Support forces
Janne Rita represented Taekwondo athletes as a judge. The coaches are Juho Kostiainen, Juho Ranta and Petteri Kauppinen. In addition, a support group consisting of parents supported and cheered ours meritoriously.
