The spring season for taekwondo athletes has started

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:

  1. Arrive at the practice of your own elementary group. Bring equipment suitable for indoor exercise and a drinking bottle. Training takes place barefoot.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
Fitness circle: Tuesday 19-20
Core: Thu 19-19:30
Body care: Thu 20:30-21
Free shift: Sat 13-14
Kick workout: Sun 16-17

So no matter what your schedule is, you'd think you'd find suitable workouts. :)

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.

A huge haul of trophies from the Ambassador's Cup

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!

Janika Sophia  Hairstyle you guysplum

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.

Last version_S2016

 

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.

Group divisions_s2016

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.

Aino robbed Latvia's silver reserves

Aino was very successful in Latvian competitions. The team congratulates! Below is Aino's father Justus' race report:

Aino Kortelainen represented Taekwondo athletes as the only Finn at the Baltic OlympicTaekwondo Cup tournament held in Venstspils, Latvia, on May Day 2016. Aino's career began in the girls -29 kg (b. 2007-2008) series with a 5-1 victory over the representative of Latvia's Musado. In this match, Aino scored for the first time in his tournament career with a back spin kick, which cost the coach-sponsor father one Oreo shake. Marila Sheremet from Russia's Baltic Federation of Korean Martial Arts club competed in the series final. Although Aino dominated the match, the Russian took 3 points with a clean back kick in the third set when Aino was pressing. The final result of the match was 0-3, and thus the victory of the series for the Russian. For Aino to take home a silver medal and a lesson that even a defensive technique ("only" even if the armor is hit) can produce 3 points and turn the course of the match in an instant.

In the upper weight category (girls-32 kg born in 2007-2008), Aino faced Vladislava Mochalina of Latvia's Hansu Sport Club in the first round. The actual Match Time ended in a 1-1 tie, but in overtime Aino controlled his nerves nicely and took the win with a clear majority of points. In the final, the opponent was a familiar girl, Karina Voloshina from Latvia's TAE-FUN, to whom Aino narrowly lost 2-0 at the Riga Open in the fall of 2015. The fight was again tight and even, after the end of the third set, the scoreboard showed 2-3 in favor of Karina. So another silver medal for Aino.

Last matches Aino competed in the -29 kg girls' (born 2005-2006) series with head contact. In the qualifying match, Aino took a 3-0 lead in the first set, but in the second set, Latvian Amanda Troshchenko made it 3-2. In the third set, Aino tolerated the nervous pressure brought by the tight situation much better than his father, and won 3-2 after a scoreless last set. In the final, Aino faced Ljubova Saharenkova (LAT Hansu sport club). At the end of the first period, the Latvian was awarded three points for a header, but Aino signaled to his father, who was sitting on the coach's bench with his eyes closed, that the kick hit his shoulder. Card up and points off! Children, communicate with your coaches and parents, not forgetting friends! However, Ljubova canceled out the points right at the beginning of the second set with a sharp roundhouse kick to the temple. In the final match, the Latvian chased Ainoa around the field, but due to strict hand interference and active movement, the rest of the match remained scoreless. However, the third silver medal with a score of 0-3 can be considered quite a fight win against a fighter who is only one and a half heads taller.

On the way home, Aino left with six matches - three wins and three losses - and three silver medals worse. We did not notify the customs authorities of these imports. The most important lesson of the tournament was that the same oxygen-rich air is breathed in the Baltics as in Russia and in the regions around Konalan!

Taekwondo athletes' events at the beginning of the year

 

Information for the beginning of the year for taekwondo athletes

Happy new year to all fans of the club! Training has started again in January in Konala with the same schedule as in the fall. The group divisions have not changed either. If you currently do not know in which group you should train, contact the instructors. In Tapiola, there have been some minor changes to training times and groups, which you should check on the website on the Tapiola subpage.

As spring rolls around, the events of Taekwondo athletes as well as other clubs and federations start to become more frequent. The most important spring events have been compiled in this newsletter, but you should also keep an eye on the news releases on our website and subscribe to the newsletter if you haven't done so yet. It is also worth checking the event calendar of the Finnish Taekwondo Association from time to time. Participation in the association's events and Taekwondo athletes' belt exams requires the possession of the association's sport license. So if the license is still missing for this year, I'll go to the website of the Taekwondo Association to order it.

Have a really good and fast-paced year!
