This is not an error in the formula, as one could assume now. Thus the formula reads, if itself 3 6, Dan Carrer - also together more 120 years combat haven experience meet and in the three-fold gymnasium of the seriousness Rauwolf school in Lenting " Meeting" give and a training course hold due to its characteristics the its-same only once to search must.

Thus 29.3.2008 happens on Saturday. On this day the guests Fritz Oblinger, 6 met. Dan Shotokan Karate DO (DKV), walter Smigielski, 6. Dan Goshu Ryu carat DO (IMAF) and organizer and supervisor Shihan Abi Poschl, 6. Dan Shotokan Karate DO (DKV) and 7. Dan Shotokan Karate DO (MAA-I) and finds to the 1. Training course 2008. However by this composition a characteristic of this training course already shows up. 3 different federations on a training course. This does not correspond necessarily to the general association policy - as Fritz Oblinger noticed correctly with the greetings - however very probably the Japanese combat art philosophy, with which it does not concern reliably association policy, but rather around the principles of the Budo ( Knightly) generally. All 3 masters was itself united in the thought that politics in the sport did not lose anything. The pupils have one together, them want Karate as combat art to learn and exercise and your style improve.

Sensei Frfe Oblinger demonstrated the abundance of the techniques, which in a " simple " Kata like the Kata HeianOondan hid itself during its Tainingspart. The privilege of advanced master degrees the techniques contained in the Katas was to be always decoded. On the basis the Application of kata Hetan Jondan Ren Sho it instructed the exact courses of motion against one or more opponents. Also it came out in the fact descriptive that in a motion of these Kata very many more than only one application is.

A further topic of Sensei Obtinger was the Meisterkata Chinte. This Kata contains all 5 animals Shotokan karate (Dragon, tigers, queue, Crane and gepard). Here it clarified with examples that the alleged weakness of an animal can become its strength. On the basis application possibilities it demonstrated this interaction between strength and weakness. Sensei walter Smigielski however widertegte the general opinion, carats is directly Karate. In impressive technique demonstrations it showed the differences between us admitted Shotokan Karate and that Goju Ryu Karate. The probably largest difference lies in the combat distance. While in Shotokan Karate of the opponents mostly impact or footstep distance one holds, proceeds the fighter Goju Ryu Karate completely differently. This " looks for " almost the proximity of the opponent, also for the Shotokan style completely untypical courses of motion showed Sensei Smigielski on the basis Kata Ten Shu and Kata be in jin like this kind of the fight to the proximity of the opponent adjusts itself around then the opponent with its own strength " outwits ", to over finally surprise and defeat whose equilibrium to break with a purposeful countering technology the Partner.

Also that was a characteristic this training course. One rarely gets different combat styles on training courses with only a represented federation mediated. Also the coach of the Karate department of the TSV Lenting, Shihan Abi Poeschl, left itself on this training course not to " rags ". With Kata Bassai Sho, Goju Jiu Sho and Jitte he proved skillfully that one with some few Katas and the techniques contained in it not only while only one training course separate oneself over weeks employ can, without it would become also only once boring. Any sequence from any Kata seized, showed the surprised pupils a variety at application possibilities. The product of a sequence multiplied by 2 or 3 movements by the application possibilities and combined with the " tools " and/or weapons of a Karateka is the result, which avowedly why in the beginnings carats in old Japan and Okinawa by a master frequently only a Kata was taught. In this training unit Shihan Abi Poeschl revealed all its masterly being able around that to decode old, hidden techniques.

Created however fully enthusiasm ended the training course, which was held in three units with ever approx. 1 1/2 hours. For many of the approx. 60 martial Artits coming from completely Bavaria this still for a long time in memory will remain. Bernd Hoehle (Headmaster of the Martial Arts Association – international (www.MAA i congratulated Shihan Abi Poeschl for the inducted in the Hall of Fame and to the successful large training course.
