Roland Heimgartner Sensei writes the following about his planned unit:

AIM OF THE LESSONS

How to enhance your basic technics in the sense of budo by using your body over muscle. Generate power with lightness, everybody can get strong, no matter what size or age.

Following information helps you to become a better karateka

BUDO

Budō is translated as „martial way“ or „the way of war“ . Budo gives attention to the physical part of fighting (how to best defeat an enemy) and also to the mind and how one should develop oneself.

SPEED

Ways to speed up your technics following body mechanics so that your movements are light, fast, powerful and efficient

– be relaxed in your shoulders

– wrist rotation (whip effect)

– pull action of your core and hips

– following the lighter part (Arm follows the fist)

– use gravitation

– understand rotation by the 3 axis

– posture of your bones

– linear action

– pivoting

– expansion/compression

– cutting of unwanted movements

– inner core tension for preparedness

– breathing

– mood

POWER

Put Power into your technics with balance, speed and timing through stances, trajectories of technics and final position of technics. All these improves your kime.

– use gravitation

– hip rotation

– expansion/compression

– use of your left and right axis

– heel action

– be grounded

– quick muscle contraction

Daily practice speed, balance, timing and power with kihon. You will improve rapidly in kata and kumite.

Willy Voss Sensei wird den alten Karate Stil   „Kaiten-Jutsu Shotokan Ryu“ erklären.

Mitmachen kann man ab Orange-Gurt aufwärts! Das Training ist auch für alle Trainer sehr empfehlenswert.

„Kaiten-Jutsu“ bedeutet die „Kunst der Drehung“. Ohne Drehung/Rotation wenig Schwung, wenig Geschwindigkeit

Karate muss, so Voss

• körpergerecht sein
• funktionieren
• anwendbar sein (auch für „schwächere Menschen“)

Ohne vertikale Rotation geht beim Karate, Speerwerfen, Kugelsoßen, Diskuswerfen, Tennis usw. nichts.

Am Programm steht:

• Die Kunst der vertikalen Drehung/Rotation von Hüfte-Rumpf-Schulter
• Die Kunst des Mae-Geri mit vertikaler Hüftrotation
• Die Kunst der Drehung/Rotation von Fuß und Faust

• Die Kunst der Koordination der Bewegungskopplung, die Bewegungs-Explosion startet im Fuß,

über das Knie-Bein, dann über die vertikale Hüfte-Rumpf-Schulter Rotation in die Arm und Faust Rotation

• Die Kunst der Zerlegung der Technik in Einzelteile, wo beginnt – wo endet die Technik

Silvio Campari is a master student of Shihan Shirai and he was one of the most successful karate athletes in Italy. He is a multiple European and World Champion in Kumite, Enbu and Fukugo.

Maestra Yuri Shirai introduces the very innovative yoga style Odaka.

This Odaka Yoga includes three important concepts. The first are movements that are similar to ocean waves. This allows techniques to flow without difficulty, but through body biomechanics. The second point is Bushido, the way of the warriors. Our minds are free to flow and it is not so important to achieve the yoga pose as the transition in order to achieve a pose. The last point is Prana, internal energy. This is the key to our wellbeing and health.

Maestra Yuri will practice the Odaka sun salutation suitable for all levels.
