| Teaching |
| I was an assistant instructor in Vammala Taekwon-Do club in 1990's giving a beginners course and few lessons. After I moved to Tampere I started to train in local Club. Since 2002 I have conducted classes regurlarly in Tampere Taekwon-Do club for beginners, color belts and also black belts. In January 2012 Sastamala Taekwon-Do needed an instructor and I started conducting classes also there. I'm also a co-founder of Tampereen Yliopiston Taekwon-Do (Tampere University ) which started on 2012 and established on 2013. I'm also conducting some classes for the club. |
