Adria Seminar 2022

After the cancellations in the past two years due to the pandemic, the international Adria Seminar finally took place again on the beautiful Croatian island of Losinj in the last week of September / first week of October 2022. Emeskaier from green belt onwards participated in the seminar. The sporting program included three training sessions daily: In the morning, the “Concoord” training (conditioning and coordination training, led by Mr. Issa Koité), at lunchtime, a self-defense information training (led by Mr. Rudolf Jakhel) and in the afternoon, a variation combat training (led by Mr. Marcus Schiffers). Through the varied training program, the participants had the opportunity to learn and deepen their skills (technique, endurance, motor skills as well as the theoretical basics of martial arts). Last but not least, the stone breaking training was held once.

Highlights of this year’s event were the promotion ceremony with the awarding of the new as well as higher black belts and the joint celebration of the 80th birthday of Mr. Rudolf Jakhel. After the seminar, our Adria tournament took place.
