Main topics
Dokan: The path is a circle.
Regardless of the knowledge and level achieved, the development of one's own karate continues - even after several decades of practice. What the karate beginner has learned in the first lesson accompanies the karateka on ever new levels, provided the right mental attitude is present.
Deepening will be the guiding path of the learning content in this karate week.
Focus on 2 kata.
One for the Kyu grades and one for the Dan grades (to be decided by the group). This is about learning and deepening. Not only the technical aspect and the bunkai are analyzed, but also the basic teachings and messages of the kata are the focus.
The level is adapted to the respective grades, while all participants deal with the same main topics.
