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 this year’s Emeskai Karate Adria Seminar in Veli Losinj, Croatia, Master Marietta was awarded the IV. Dan. The solemn ceremony honored new and higher black belts with new Dans, awarded by Grandmaster Dr. Rudolf Jakhel, X. Dan.
Marietta has been practicing Emeskai Modern Sport Karate since 2009 and started training in Berlin. In 2011, Marietta started her trainer training as a green belt.

Dan in Modern Sport Karate and received the Assistant Instructor (X5) license from the MSKA Dan Academy. During her three-year stay in the USA, Marietta trained at Toshindo Karate under Shuseki Shihan Donald LaMattina (Kyokushin Karate). Marietta successfully participated in regional tournaments and in 2015 was awarded the I. Dan in Kyokushin Karate in 2015 and then II. Dan and the title Sensei. From 2017-2021 Marietta built up the Modern Sport Karate Club in Lübeck. Marietta has been in Vienna since September 2021 and leads the children’s and adult training here.
