Back we are from Stolzenhagen… we happily completed the intense Karate Seminar.
We spent Saturday and Sunday on meadows, fields and forest trails. Monday we sparred with full contact in the small studio.
The gentle and deep work of the first two days, as well as the more direct one of the last one were deeply moving and satisfying. Mental and bodily techniques continue to converge to and complete each other.
Mindfully inviting the opponents presence and letting go of your own fixed idea of self passe dater practical tests with flying colours. Both attack and defense became by far clearer, simpler and apt the same time obvious.
Above an Impression from early morning training session.
Stolzenhagen is still really beautiful by the way. And yet completely different from Weißwasser.
See you again there next year!




Berlin lies amidst a huge plain, filled mostly with sand. For ten years we have traveled to Stolzenhagen at the bank of the Oder river twice a year for intense Karate practice.
