From September 21 to 29, 2023, our highly anticipated Adriatic Seminar took place in Veli Lošinj, Croatia. This important event brought together karateka from Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Austria and Italy and offered the opportunity to obtain new black belts in modern sports karate.

This year, we are particularly pleased about three outstanding successes:

• Frederik, 28 years old, was awarded 1st Dan and is the first master of our children’s karate school. A great achievement that reflects the hard work and commitment of our young karateka.
• Annalena, also 28 years old, was awarded 2nd Dan.
• Hans, 65 years old, founder of our Alsdorf karate department and highest Dan holder in modern sports karate in Alsdorf, was honored with the 7th Dan.

We are proud of our successes and look forward to the challenges and developments to come in our club!

At this year’s spring seminar, we trained together with the Aachen, Rhine Main and Rhine Sieg regions and competed in a tournament on Sunday, May 5. A great tournament with many categories and successful placings:

• 1st place Forma brown and black belts: Annalena Strüver
• 3rd place Forma white and yellow belts: Louisa Weißmann

Louisa received the 1st orange belt for this great performance!

A big thank you to everyone who was there. We are already looking forward to training with you at the next course.

Over 700 athletes came together in Puderbach on 13 April for the Westerwald Cup 2024. Our club leader Annalena took part in the Kumite individual female seniors -68/ +68kg category and won third place.

Yesterday, Saturday, June 17, 2023, the spring intake training was held for the first time in the new Rhine-Sieg region. The event was a great success and was attended by the new participants of the Bonn University Group and our beginner. The purpose of the spring intake training is to accept new members into the MSK system and to teach them the basics of karate.

It was a special pleasure that our beginner Svenja participated in the training and successfully passed her first belt exam. Svenja has learned the basics of karate in the last months and was able to deepen them together with the other participants at the training. She is now officially part of the MSK family and will continue to deepen her skills and knowledge in this discipline.

We are proud of Svenja’s achievement and look forward to the upcoming challenges and successes we will experience together.
