One main activity of mine is taekwondo. I started it in January 1998 when one good friend of mine was involved in taekwondo and asked me to give it a shot. First when I came to try it, I have to admit, I was a bit suspicious, but soon I was training as hard as I could. At the beginning I had great advantage due to my sporty background.
Physically the training was/is pretty tough and some people quit after few weeks of practice. Because of my basketball activities, I am able to train only three times a week. Those times I am trying to do the best I can.
I have had green belt with blue stripe (5.kup) since 19th of October 2000.
The local club was founded in 1990 and it is called Varkauden Taekwondo Ry. We have about 50-60 active members including 6 black belts. One of them is the founder of the club. He has 2nd dan black belt. Our club is member of WTF (World Taekwondo Federation). People from my club are taking part regularly in taekwondo camps and other national happenings in Finland. Our black belts also teach other club members during camps.
