Spring admission training 2023

Yesterday, Saturday, June 17, 2023, the spring intake training was held for the first time in the new Rhine-Sieg region. The event was a great success and was attended by the new participants of the Bonn University Group and our beginner. The purpose of the spring intake training is to accept new members into the MSK system and to teach them the basics of karate.

It was a special pleasure that our beginner Svenja participated in the training and successfully passed her first belt exam. Svenja has learned the basics of karate in the last months and was able to deepen them together with the other participants at the training. She is now officially part of the MSK family and will continue to deepen her skills and knowledge in this discipline.

We are proud of Svenja’s achievement and look forward to the upcoming challenges and successes we will experience together.
