Our instructors have many years of experience in taekwondo and other sports. We want
every practitioner to develop in the sport according to their age group, belt level, and goals.
Together, we create a joyful and effective training atmosphere!

Location of the Dojang

Our training gym is located in Herttoniemi at Mekaanikonkatu 15 B. The gym is easy to reach by public transport, by bicycle, or on foot. There are a few parking spaces in the yard, as well as along the street. However, we recommend leaving your car in the parking lot of Siilitie metro station, which is about 100 metres away.

​

Next to the entrance is our club's advertising banner. There are a few steps in front of the front door, but our gym is on the first floor. The front door is open during training sessions. Shoes should be left in the entrance hall. There are coat racks for jackets and bags inside the gym. Take your valuables with you into the gym; you can leave your bag on the rack.

​

The gym has three training areas, an office, two changing rooms, and toilets. In addition, we have use of the changing rooms and showers of the EasyFit fitness center in the same building. The lobby has space to wait for training to begin, warm up on your own, or watch the training sessions.

Training
Parents are welcome to attend the first two training sessions on-site. After that, we kindly
ask you to allow the children to focus on their training. (In the Toddler and Family Taekwondo group, a parent takes part in the practice together with the child.) Parents can wait for the training to
end in the lounge area, or they may leave the hall during the session.

Please note that the language of instruction is Finnish in all groups.

You can purchase equipment, such as a taekwondo uniform, through the club once you are
sure you want to continue with the sport. Typically, the uniform is purchased within the first
2-3 weeks.

Each practitioner will receive their own training record card, a taekwondo pass, which must
be brought to each training session. You can request the taekwondo pass from the office
after the first payment has been made. It is not necessary to inform us of individual
absences. :)

Please note that the practitioner is responsible for their own accident insurance if they wish
to have one. Both the license and insurance can be purchased from the Finnish Taekwondo
Federation's website: https://www.suomentaekwondoliitto.fi/liitto/lajilisenssi/

​

To ensure effective training, please follow these guidelines:

• Arrive on time to the hall so you have time to prepare for the training.

• You will get more out of the training and reduce the risk of injury if you warm up and stretch on your own before the session begins.

• For training, you will need a taekwondo uniform or another sports outfit, your taekwondo pass, and a water bottle. Training is done barefoot.

• Maintain personal hygiene and keep your nails short.

• Remove jewelry and tie up long hair before starting the training.

• Do not leave valuables (wallet, phone) in the changing room. Take them with you to the wall area in the hall.

• During training, it is important to listen to the instructor and focus on practicing.

• You do not need to inform us about individual absences. If you know about a longer absence, please discuss it with the instructor in advance.
