Searching for the essence of karate at TSV Achim
Achim - Back to the roots of karate. Around 70 athletes accepted the invitation from TSV Achim to train with expert Fiore Tartaglia (7th Dan). The experienced martial artist worked with the hard-working participants on fundamental movement principles to optimize their fighting moves.
Courses and diversity are the hallmarks of the TSV Achim karate department. Instead of focusing on one trainer, the club regularly invites various karate masters to help broaden its athletic horizons. Due to the pandemic, however, TSV Achim had to wait almost three years before it could offer a workshop to the general public again. "We would have liked to invite an expert earlier, but the constantly changing coronavirus situation prevented us from planning effectively," explains TSV division head Ingo Kruse. The celebrations for the department's 40th anniversary also had to be canceled, as it was neither possible nor sensible to plan an event for more than 50 athletes training simultaneously in the long term.
TSV Achim is all the more pleased to have been able to secure Fiore Tartaglia, one of Germany's most renowned karatekas, for a major workshop. The holder of the 7th Dan (seventh black) belt is the author of several books that should be part of the standard library of every experienced karateka. Around 70 karatekas of all levels listened spellbound to his explanations of the use of the hips in karate movements and tried out the diverse exercises. Individual corrections to some of the physically challenging exercises rounded out Fiore Tartaglia's workshop. Even experienced karatekas who have held black belts for many years were able to use these insights to hone their athletic skills.
The training sessions were organized by a team led by Roland and Inka Ebermann, who also contacted Fiore Tartaglia and invited him to Achim. Information about karate at TSV Achim can be found online at www.tsv-achim-karate.de or on the club's Facebook page.
