At this year’s Emeskai Karate Adria Seminar in Veli Losinj, Croatia, Master Marietta was awarded the IV. Dan. The solemn ceremony honored new and higher black belts with new Dans, awarded by Grandmaster Dr. Rudolf Jakhel, X. Dan.

Marietta has been practicing Emeskai Modern Sport Karate since 2009 and started training in Berlin. In 2011, Marietta started her trainer training as a green belt. In 2013, she became FEKDA World Champion in Kumite (Sport Fighting) Team and Vice World Champion in Kumite Individual. In 2016, Marietta obtained the I. Dan in Modern Sport Karate and received the Assistant Instructor (X5) license from the MSKA Dan Academy. During her three-year stay in the USA, Marietta trained at Toshindo Karate under Shuseki Shihan Donald LaMattina (Kyokushin Karate). Marietta successfully participated in regional tournaments and in 2015 was awarded the I. Dan in Kyokushin Karate in 2015 and then II. Dan and the title Sensei. From 2017-2021 Marietta built up the Modern Sport Karate Club in Lübeck. Marietta has been in Vienna since September 2021 and leads the children’s and adult training here. This year, Marietta also became European champion at the Emeskai Karate European Championships in Chotebor, Czech Republic.

In addition to the IV. Dan, Marietta also received the Associate Instructor (X4) license, which enables her to award higher belts. We congratulate Marietta on her success.

Adriaseminar 2024

From September 21 to 28, Mo, Iman and Master Marietta were at the Emeskai Adria Seminar in Veli Losinj, Croatia. This seminar is a special seminar for Emeskaians from green belt upwards. The sports program included three training sessions a day: The morning session was about conditioning and coordination training for karate (led by Master Issa Koité, V. Dan). At lunchtime there was self-defense information training (led by Master Rudolf Jakhel, X. Dan) and in the afternoon, there was variation and competition training (led by Master Marcus Schiffers, V. Dan and Master Issa). In addition, Master Fehmi Mahalla, VII. Dan, offered special training for WKF competitions in the afternoon.

The varied training program gave the participants the opportunity to learn and deepen a wide range of skills (technique, endurance, motor skills and the theoretical basics of martial arts).

The highlight of this year’s event was the promotion ceremony with the awarding of the new and higher black belts. The seminar was followed by the big Adria tournament, in which Iman and Mo took part in the men’s green Sports Fighting category. Despite two victories, Iman was eliminated in the preliminary round, Mo was in the final after 4 preliminary round fights, in which he was only narrowly defeated and ended up in 2nd place. Congratulations for this fantastic performance!
