Welcome to
Tikkurila Taekwondo Club!

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 hall is located in Koivuhaka at Keinumäenkuja 2. You can reach the hall by bus,
bicycle, or on foot. There is a parking lot for those arriving by car. Especially at the beginning of the season, the parking lot is often full, so if possible, we recommend arriving by some means of transport other than your own car. There is currently limited parking space in the surrounding area.

Next to the entrance, you will find our club’s advertisement banner. The outdoor door will be open during the training sessions. Please leave your shoes in the downstairs vestibule, and then proceed up the stairs to the dojang. There are coat racks for jackets and bags in the changing room. Please take any valuables and bags with you into the training hall.

Our dojang is spread over two floors:
On the upper floor there are two training areas, an office, two changing rooms, and
restrooms, as well as one shower. There is space in the lobby and lounge area to wait for
the session to begin. In the smaller second hall, you can also do some self-warming up
(gray-black tatami).

Downstairs there is another training hall. Access is through the entrance, next to the stairs,
immediately turning right. There are also two restrooms in the downstairs hallway, but the
changing rooms are only located upstairs.

Training

Please bring light clothing suitable for exercise as well as a water bottle and the boxing gloves. We practice barefoot.

For your own safety and the safety of others, please remove all jewelry, watches, etc. before
training. Long hair should be tied back.

Equipment such as boxing gloves should be purchased as soon as possible. The club has a
few pairs of loaner gloves, but having your own is always more comfortable. You can ask the
instructor for help with purchasing equipment.

Please do not attend training if you are ill. There is no need to inform us of occasional
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.

• You will need clothing suitable for exercise and a water bottle for training. Training is
  conducted 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.
