"The FT-KARATE Retreat is more than just training – it's an opportunity to look at your own path from a new perspective, to question established patterns, and to return home with fresh inspiration." – Fiore Tartaglia
A week full of intensive training, new impulses, and inspiring encounters – that was the FT-KARATE Retreat 2024. But our retreat is more than just a regular seminar. It's a profound experience that challenges both body and mind and invites karateka to view their practice with a new perspective.
Why are the FT-KARATE retreats so special? What distinguishes them from a traditional seminar? And why should you join us in 2025? Find out here.
Why a karate retreat?
The idea of a karate retreat was born out of the conviction that a week spent with like-minded people is an invaluable enrichment – for one's own karate and beyond. The combination of intensive training sessions, profound insights, and personal exchange with karateka from diverse backgrounds creates a unique atmosphere.
The The FT-KARATE Retreat offers the opportunity to fully focus on karate and personal development, away from everyday life. It's not just about technique and conditioning, but a holistic experience that engages both body and mind.
The concept: Experience karate with new perspectives
While in traditional courses individual topics are often covered in a short time, the FT-KARATE Retreat a deeper exploration:
✔️ Adopt new perspectives – think beyond your own karate style
✔️ Question habits – recognize and break established patterns
✔️ Experiment with new routines – see techniques and concepts in a new light
This combination ensures that what is learned is not just a temporary experience, but is integrated into one's own karate in the long term.
Karate in modern society
Karate is not just a martial art – it is a path to personal development as well as to promote physical and mental health. Many people practice karate to reduce stress, increase their self-confidence and improve their overall fitness and to improve concentration.
Furthermore, karate has a strong social component. It unites people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds and promotes intercultural exchange. In our dojo, "Taikikan," we preserve the traditions and inspire new members with our special dojo atmosphere.
Especially during the retreat, participants experience this holistic aspect of Karate-D ō particularly intensive. Traditional practice is combined with modern training methods to provide a comprehensive understanding of the martial art and its philosophy.
The difference between a retreat and a course
A training course is often an intense experience—but also a short one. A weekend full of training sessions is valuable, but sustained implementation of the content can be difficult.
The FT-KARATE Retreat, on the other hand, gives you a full week to delve into the topics. Through intensive engagement with specific content, what you learn is not just theoretical but also embedded in practice. Participants have space for reflection, individual questions, and exchange with other karateka, which further enhances the learning process.
What do the participants take away?
"Just implementing part of what you've learned is enough to strengthen your own path." – Fiore Tartaglia
Not every impulse is implemented immediately, but many of the newly gained insights subtly shape the karate path. Participants take home a more flexible perspective, a deeper understanding, and often a renewed sense of motivation.
