Lauda. When the ETSV Lauda karate club celebrated its 20th anniversary two years ago and managed to secure the two karate luminaries Tartaglia and Bernd Weinreich as trainers for the accompanying anniversary seminar, a connection was formed that continues to this day. This year, a seminar was organized again, at which Fiore Tartaglia once again shared his extensive karate knowledge with the Dekan Lauda karate club and the affiliated karate dojos in Bad Mergentheim and Veitshöchheim.
In addition to his work as a trainer, Fiore Tartaglia is also a book author, which is why he is professionally very involved with karate, not only in terms of the physical aspects, but also in the philosophical and historical background.
The knowledge he had accumulated over many years of karate study was recently significantly expanded through the experiences he gained during a trip to Japan, the country of karate's origin. He promptly made this the main topic of the course, allowing the participants to share in his newly acquired insights.
Essentially, all the exercises he presented in the two training sessions for the adult group revolved around re-experiencing movements that had been practiced for years through a much more conscious and subtly modified execution. Through this method, the karate practitioners noticed a visible improvement in their techniques in a very short time.
But Fiore Tartaglia isn't only known for his high-quality teaching style in the adult segment; he also manages to teach karate to children through skillfully utilizing playful elements without losing sight of the necessary seriousness associated with this martial art. He demonstrated this in the children's training session that opened the course day, once again sparking enthusiasm among the young karate fighters.
