This year again, the Berlin club had the honor to host the international Easter seminar for advanced students (green belt and above). About 30 karateka from Germany and the Czech Republic took part under the guidance of Mr. Issa Koité (V. Dan). The main focus of the demanding training was the optimization and economization of the karate movement sequences as well as the deepening of the fighting skills with a special focus on sweeping, clinching, and throwing; in addition to the training program, yoga exercises were also practiced and application tips for special fighting situations were demonstrated.
At the big tournament on Saturday, some Berlin karateka placed excellently:
Forma Contra Set:
- 1st place Mr. Christopher
- 3rd place Mr. Domenico
Forma 4a Set:
- 1st place Lara
Sports fighting women green belts:
- Place Laura
We are happy for the successful participants and especially for Laura, who was awarded the blue belt: Congratulations!
We would like to thank Mr. Domenico for the organization as well as all members of the Berlin Club who helped with the planning, organization, execution, and as judges and helpers at the tournament. Last but not least, we would like to thank all the external participants who not only made an effective training possible, but also made it possible to spend some nice free time together. See you next time!
