Karate training sessions
twice a day on 6 days (with the exception of the day of arrival and departure).

The exact training times are still to be defined and adapted to the hotel's meal times. One training session is planned in the morning and one in the late afternoon.

If the opportunity arises on site for longer group excursions on certain days or if it turns out that alternative training times are more suitable and this meets with the approval of the majority, we are open to adjusting the training times on a daily basis.

Key topics
Deepening the basic principles
Developing a better understanding of karate-specific movements and principles such as contrasts, tension-relaxation, body control, coordination, breathing and more. It also shows how a bridge can be created between karate in Dōjō and your own everyday life in order to sustainably improve your quality of life.

Focus on 1-2 kata (group decision)
Learning and consolidation. Not only the technical aspect and bunkai are scrutinized, but also the basic teachings and messages of the kata.
