The new old Kumite

Lutz Odewald — Thu, 18 Nov 2021 08:18:40 +0000

If martial arts is an art form, then Kumite is the tools of the trade and Kata is the freestyle. And it was precisely these tools that were the focus of an exciting course in Bad Bentheim. With Olaf Bock. With a little sweat and concentration. And with a lot of art! ???? Kumite is...

Family Gathering with Stick – Kempo meets Silat

Lutz Odewald — Tue, 10 Aug 2021 17:16:38 +0000

Family gathering with stick – Kempo meets Silat. More than 35 martial artists, three high-ranking speakers, two fascinating martial arts styles – that was a mega event last weekend in the sports hall in Hohenhausen. Kempo meets Silat was the motto, to which active people from the whole region and even from Wiesbaden came to...

Narrow-gauge training in Maintal

Lutz Odewald — Sun, 08 Mar 2020 07:49:27 +0000

Our entry into the German Karate Federation was a bit bumpy, as it was initially influenced by petty vanities of a local functionary. But in the meantime we are fully involved. And therefore I was especially looking forward to participating in a four-part seminar entitled ” Seminar Karate Teacher I”. But it was to be...

Start into the Sifat heaven

Lutz Odewald — Sun, 08 Dec 2019 16:29:53 +0000

It’s amazing how time flies. Almost exactly one year ago I could lure Sifu Olaf Bock to Kalletal for the first time. And now he’s come back, a slightly delayed Santa Claus, so to speak. Well, the beard fits halfway! ? Again it was about the Kata, which are the soul of a martial art,...

The black sheep among white ghosts

Lutz Odewald — Mon, 21 Oct 2019 06:47:39 +0000

Last weekend I was (once again) out and about in martial arts. This time, however, rather to meet organizational hurdles – namely to extend the trainer license. The weekend was an event of the North Rhine-Westphalian Karate Federation KDNW. They offer these training courses in a specific field. Which was a decisive reason for our...

Olaf in Kalletal – Visit from the Sensei

Lutz Odewald — Wed, 19 Dec 2018 06:31:33 +0000

It’s right before Christmas. What could be more natural than to give yourself a present during this time? I did. Namely with an invitation to Olaf Bock to come to a seminar at the small Kalletal. And he came! Actually, Sensei Olaf has the gypsy life of the martial arts teachers over. “I don’t want...

Silat meets Kempo 2.0

Lutz Odewald — Mon, 26 Dec 2016 06:37:15 +0000

What could be better in the run-up to Christmas than to meet up in a cosy atmosphere and to slap each other’s arms blue, maltreat joints or let yourself be peppered by the countryside in harmonious harmony? Exactly this was on the agenda of the second seminar “Silat meets Kempo” by Nikolas Sandrock and Marcus Brehm....

Crack bones in Holland

Lutz Odewald — Sun, 25 Dec 2016 17:08:07 +0000

Crack Bones in Holland – okay, that was not the official title. But the conditions were right. With Niki and Marcus, Alex and Patrick we went to Amsterdam on the first weekend of October. More precisely to Hoofddorp. To the silat seminar with Master Mornie. This promised to be exciting, because Maul Mornie has meanwhile...

Trainer – all for appearances

Lutz Odewald — Tue, 24 Jun 2014 17:26:32 +0000

You can never be too smart, but you can get stupid real quick. For this reason, Uwe, Sabrina and I have set ourselves the goal of getting the trainer’s license. Because the next step towards becoming a real martial arts teacher is not (only) to improve your own performance, but also to improve your own...
