Once again, the year is coming to an end, and chilly hands are longing for a warm cup. Instead of the black tassel of a white cap, a red and white one might better suit the head. It's time for the traditional alumni glögg evening!

📩 Applying for the guild's committees is open now!

The year is rapidly coming to a close and it's time to seek guild members for the committees of the upcoming year. Committee roles are a great fit for guild members who wish to partake in the making of guild activities with a low threshold and leave their handprint in the guild's activity ✋🤩

Committees offer a wide variety of things to do, ensuring meaningful activities for everyone. Nothing is set in stone, which means you'll get to make the next year look just the way you want to with the help of committee chairs. It’s highly recommend and encouraged for both new and old students to look through the committee list and apply for the committees! ✍️

You can find the committees and application forms here!

About Taekwon-do:

Taekwon-do is a fast-paced Korean martial art that can be used for defence and offence. This martial art is especially famous for its diversity of kicking techniques and suits people from different groups of age, both as a competitive and general fitness sport.

Taekwon-do develops physical features of the body, such as coordination, agility, mobility and general fitness level. Additionally, it improves focus, perseverance and self-confidence in facing new challenges.

Taekwon-do can roughly be divided into six forms: basic techniques, patterns, sparring, special techniques, power breaking and self-defence. Further information about Taekwon-do’s forms can be found from Internation Taekwon-do Federation's or Finnish ITF Federation's website:
