YouTube Video: Technical Seminar in Königs Wusterhausen (September 27/28, 2025)

Below is a direct YOUTUBE VIDEO LINK providing some 'subtle brief reminders' (for the participants at my first Technical Seminar in Königs Wusterhausen on September 27th and 28th of 2025).


Hosted by Jan Gebhardt Sensei (6th Dan), Iris Gebhart (4th Dan) and the KEIKO-DOJO, the seminar was titled by the organizers as 'THE SPIRIT OF BUDO INTERNATIONAL KARATE SEMINAR'. Here is a direct link to the Keiko Dojo Website: Workout und Fitness | Keiko Dojo - Schule für Kampfkunst & Bewegung


Besides the organizers, I'd like to thank all of the participating karateka and hope that this informal video will remind you of some of the key points that I taught. 


In these regards I'd also like to thank Oliver SCHÖMBURG Sensei for his filming. A professionally filmed version (with great artistry, top level equipment and high resolution) will be uploaded on this channel soon. Here is a direct link to his channel, and I'll provide a direct link from my blog later when it is released:  olliwaa - YouTube 


Already there is an upload of the kata 'NIJUHAPPO' on his channel. It was the kata performed slowly at the very end of the seminar. I will be sending written notes on Nijuhappo to Jan Sensei and Iris Sensei, to share with all attendees of the seminar.


Please note, the version of Nijuhappo I taught was the 'Asai Shihan Version', which differs from the rendition practiced by the SKIF. The version we have is closer to the Chinese/Okinawan form. That is by no means claiming a superior rendition, but merely to clarify that it has many differences. 


Lastly, I want to wish everyone the best from IKS (International Karate Shotokan) SOHONBU DOJO, here in Oita City, Kyushu, JAPAN.


ありがとうございました
