BAIERBACH 2017

This year's TSG karate camp began on July 21, 2017, with the setting up of the tents at the campground in Baierbach. Once the tents were up and the campfire was lit, the fun part began. We grilled, chatted, played games, and went on a night hike. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't quite on our side and sent us some rain.
The next morning, after breakfast, everyone could relax and enjoy camp life or get some exercise. Around 12:00 p.m., we headed to Schenkenseehalle 2, where the large "Baierbach Seminar" was taking place again. Top trainers were present in the hall: Silvano Wagner, a highly decorated karateka who began karate at the TSG, for the Kumite area, and Fiore Tartaglia , a recognized kata specialist who has already written many kata books. Silvano began with playful reaction and speed exercises for the lower grades. He then carefully began to introduce the first attacks and the corresponding defenses, which could then be practiced with a partner. The advanced grades focused on counter techniques. They practiced correct evasion of various opponent attacks while simultaneously attacking.
Fiore intensified his studies of the Hangetsu kata with the advanced students. He placed particular emphasis on the interplay of proper breathing and the individual techniques. He also demonstrated the bunkai for the kata (application of kara techniques). At the junior level, he gave beginners an introduction to the behavior of a karateka, including entering the training hall, training, and interacting with the instructor and all training partners. He then practiced the correct execution of the various stances and turns with them, using the Heian Shodan kata as an example.
It was a strenuous and sweaty, but extremely educational, afternoon for everyone. Nine karatekas took an exam after the seminar before following the others to the campsite. The Baierbach 2017 camp concluded with a delicious buffet and a relaxed get-together. We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who helped with the organization and setup and tear-down.
