On Sunday, October 20, 2024, the Sportunion National Karate Championships took place in Vienna. Mo and Iman competed in the category Kumite/Sport Fight Individual Male Seniors 9th-5th belt. Both won their two preliminary fights and then faced each other in the final. Iman was leading shortly before the end, but then Mo won the fight at the last second. It couldn’t have been more exciting.
Congratulations to both of them on their success!
At the end of the school year, the 2nd Kids Karate Competition Day 2024 took place on June 9.
Together, we trained, sweated, and laughed. In the end, things got a bit more serious as the children competed in various disciplines, forms and duels for the day’s victory.
Congratulations to the winners of the day:
1st place Viktor
2nd place Lars
3rd place Bruno
Of course, new stripes were also awarded:

It was a great pleasure for all participants that the Easter seminar could finally take place again this year after two cancellations due to Corona. Karateka from Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic and Austria travelled to Berlin for our international MSK training camp for advanced students from green belt upwards. As in 2019, Mr. Issa (IV. Dan) was in charge of the training and the subsequent test tournament with about 40 participants; the focus of the demanding training was on fine-tuning the technique, clinching, sweeping, falling, throwing and jumped kicks.
The highlight of the event this year was the awarding of the first master degree (I. Dan) to Monique (MSK Berlin) and Hannes (MSK Bolzano). The DAN ceremony as well as the awarding of the black belts to Monique and Hannes was conducted by Mr. Stephan (V. Dan) on behalf of Mr. Dr. Rudolf Jakhel (X. Dan). After the promotion ceremony in the seminar hall, the participants* enjoyed a few hours together to celebrate and toast the newly crowned black belts.
On the following day, the big test tournament took place, where further masters from the Berlin and Aachen clubs arrived for judging. There were exciting form competitions and sports matches to watch. At the end of the seminar there was a barbecue in the beautiful Mauerpark.
We congratulate our new masters and thank Mr. Issa, Mr. Stephan and our Berlin organisation team for making this wonderful event possible.
The second successful kids karate competition day in Berlin took place on December 14, 2019 with 8 children having very much fun again. The kids were able to improve their performance in forma and fighting. Overall, the Berlin karate kids are very keen on fighting, they do not shy away from the attacks and can dodge and deflect the attacks better and better. In particular, more and more children are now able to use the battle cry while fighting. The joy of the children is undeniable and we are happy to be able to promote them to our first blue stripe as well as more green and orange stripes.
We look very much forward to our next Karate Kids Competition Day in Berlin!
