Once again this year, it was time to pack your karate gi, don’t forget your running shoes, and head off to the Emeskai summer camp! Nine participants from Vienna set out to train for a week alongside karateka from various cities and countries, gain new inspiration, and experience that special summer camp atmosphere.
As always, the training program was varied and challenging. From the basics to forms and sparring, all the way to sportsfighting and high kicks, there was something for everyone. Thanks to the diverse training sessions, beginners and advanced practitioners alike were able to gain new experiences and work on their skills.
The time spent together outside of training was especially enjoyable this year as well. The summer camp is not only a athletic challenge but also an opportunity to reconnect with old friends, make new connections, and experience the Emeskai sense of community.
Midway through the week, the traditional tournament took place once again. In forms, sparring, and sports fighting, the participants demonstrated their skills and competed against karateka from other clubs. Our Viennese competitors achieved great success:
- Forma Prima: 2nd place Waldemar
- Forma Secunda Set: 1st place Antonia
- Men’s Orange Sparring: 2nd place Stefan
- Women’s/Misc. Orange Sparring: 2nd place Viki
We warmly congratulate all the winners on their successes and are thrilled by the strong performances of our Vienna team!
Another special reason to celebrate was the belt promotion ceremony: Thomas was awarded his 2nd orange belt during summer camp. We warmly congratulate him on this next step on his karate journey and are delighted with his continued progress.
After an intense week filled with many training sessions, sore muscles, new experiences, and plenty of fun, we can look back on a successful summer camp. Many thanks to all the coaches and participants who made this week possible.
We’re already looking forward to the next summer camp!
