About Emeskai
Emeskai is freely derived from the abbreviation MSKAI, i.e., Modern Sports Karate Associates International. This is the name of the international network of karate groups that practice Modern Sports Karate (MSK) according to a rational and cross-stylistic training methodology.
Emeskai was developed in 1971 at the Sports Institute of the RWTH Aachen University as a novel training concept for sports fighting and self-defense. The observation of different styles of fighting led to the conclusion that despite great differences in training, fighters act in the same patterns of movement.
From this, a training system was developed that quickly and directly teaches the beginner the workable techniques for competition and self-defense. Kicks, foot sweeps and fist punches are embedded in a logical movement scheme that allows the various techniques to be varied and combined in many ways.
Modern Sport Karate sees itself as a further development of classical karate on the basis of modern sports science. More information can be found in the book “Modern Sports Karate” by Dr. Rudolf Jakhel, X. Dan.
Training
Goal: Learn to fight!

Our Emeskai school gives a targeted step-by-step introduction to fighting
- From the known to the unknown
- From the easy to the difficult
- From the simple to the complicated
- From the universal to the specific
and thereby achieves
- Maximum effect
- with minimal effort
- in the shortest time
- with optimal safety (minimal risk of injury).
Effect: All-encompassing fight fitness
Emeskai training is beneficial for:
- Health
- Correct posture
- Inner balance
Through the fighting-oriented training of the body and mind, you become:
- More flexible
- Faster and more explosive
- More dexterous
- Calmer and more self-confident
Through the experience of the sport fight, you are able to:
- Recognize potential self-defense situations faster
- Avoid them if necessary
- Control them
- Solve them in your own favor
Thus, Emeskai training is the most effective preparation for everyday life and work through optimal physical, mental, and communicative training.
Equipment
In the beginning, a training suit with long pants (no shoes or socks) is sufficient. But you only get the real karate feeling when you wear a karate uniform (Gi). This is available from about 35,-EUR. In the first training sessions, a collective order is carried out to purchase the uniform. Additionally, various protectors for the competition training will be needed at a later time point.
Clubs
EMESKAI is represented several times throughout Germany, and also in South Tyrol and Vienna (all locations are listed below). You can find more information about EMESKAI in the Czech Republic and in Slovenia here. In the different locations, training is carried out uniformly according to the EMESKAI training program. In regular intervals all Emeskaians come together on regional and supra-regional trainings. The typified training and education program enables a constant comparison of the individual participants and at the same time ensures a fluent exchange between the locations.
Emeskai is currently represented at the following locations:
