Taekwondo can also be started in the summer

The Covid-19 epidemic has shown signs of abating in Finland, and restrictions are gradually being eased and lifted. Taekwondo athletes will also return to the training activities organized in the gym right from the beginning of June.

We are all jointly responsible for ensuring that the epidemic does not start accelerating again in Finland. Precautions and anticipation are at the center of all training and activities in the gym.

For a couple of months now, we have been training with the help of video workouts and live broadcasts. It's nice to be able to start the actual exercises in the gym again.

Beginner groups and advanced groups train in the same groups during the summer, but the age group division remains unchanged. The workouts are designed so that new enthusiasts can easily join in, but there is also a challenge level for the more experienced. In addition, many types of additional training are available for enthusiasts who have more time.

For new enthusiasts:

Check the training times for your age group from the training calendar
Pack clothes suitable for indoor exercise and a water bottle in a training bag and head out to the gym
The coach will give you a registration form to fill out and give you practical instructions for getting started.
Come along to your first training sessions. The exercises are designed so that even beginners can keep up with the pace.
Feel free to try the hobby for two weeks before you decide to continue.

For old enthusiasts:

Check the summer practice times.
In addition to the basic workouts, choose at least an additional workout / week aimed at your age group. The hardest trainers go through all possible exercises.
Also take a friend with you to the training!
If you paid the training fees for the time the gym is closed, you will get additional services free of charge this summer. Ask your coach for more information.
Please note that some of the training sessions are held outside in the summer
- Children's outdoor training: meeting in the hall's lower hall. Equipment according to the weather. You don't have to be a dobok.
- Hill training for adults: gathering at Malminkartano's waste hill at the bottom of the stairs. Equipment suitable for running.

Taekwondo for everyone from baby to adult

The spring season of taekwondo athletes started on Monday, January 6. and in the gym you can immediately see a great flow and energy. It's good to start the season at this pace, because the competition teams start their season right at the beginning with the PM and SM competitions, and for the spring there are also tough foreign trips planned. Jenna's preparation for the Olympic qualifiers in April brings additional excitement to the spring training patterns. In the basic groups, we continue from where we left off in the fall, and with new enthusiasts we start with some of the basics.

A lot of interesting programs can be found in the training calendar, whether your goal is to improve your fitness or competitive sports. See you at the gym!

For new enthusiasts

Check the practice times for your age group weekly schedule. Starting training is simple, and you can start at any time during the season:

Arrive at the practice of your own elementary group. Bring equipment suitable for indoor exercise and a drinking bottle. Training takes place barefoot.
At the gym, you will get a beginner's guide and a registration form. At the same time, you can participate in your first exercises.
We will send an invoice for the training to your email. However, for the first two weeks you can get to know each other in peace without committing to continuing the hobby.

Welcome aboard!

For children's enthusiasts

The spring practice times are largely the same as in the fall, but you should still confirm the practice times of your own group from the schedule. If you haven't attended additional training yet, now is an excellent opportunity to do so, because in the spring, the children will have their own amateur match and an amateur sports series as new exercises, which are included in the price of the basic contract. In addition to this, you can also attend Saturday's general exercise training at no extra charge.

Children's hobby shop series: Thursdays 17-18
Children's amateur match: on Thursdays 18-19
General exercise: on Saturdays 12-13

We recommend at least one additional deepening exercise per week from the green belt onwards.

For adult enthusiasts

Training times for adults are still Tuesday, Thursday and Friday as usual. In addition to this, there are additional exercises for almost every day of the week.

Hobbyist poomsae: Mon 18-19
Amateur match: Thu 18-19

For competitors and those interested in competing

Those interested in goal-oriented sports can find their own groups in Taekwondo athletes. There are training opportunities for competition groups every day of the week, and training in competition groups is intensive and goal-oriented. As a new exercise, a free shift is organized on Fridays from 17:00 to 20:00, when the hall is freely available for personal or joint training. If you are interested in joining competition groups, talk to your coach about it. New enthusiasts are constantly being recruited.
