Karate training, gradings and events: The Shinzen Dojo year 2021 in pictures
Shinzen Dojo looks back on a very eventful year 2021. With online and outdoor training, the dojo started karate training again in January under the coronavirus measures. In the first part of the annual review, shinzen-dojo.de takes shinzen-dojo.de a close look at the first few weeks and months.
Cold start to the new year
Aufgrund der Corona-Madßnahmen aus dem Jahr 2020 ging das reguläre Karate-Training weiterhin Outdoor Sundays weiter. Nur für hartgesottene Kyokushin Karatekas ging es bei eisigen Temperaturen weiter.
Online training as an alternative for training at the dojo
Following the lively participation last year, online training entered the next round. A handful of motivated students experienced training from our instructor Sempai Son via Zoom every Tuesday and Thursday evening.
Do not give up: Karate training continues
After the first weeks and months, it was clear to us that the moment had come not to give up! Our karate children also did not give up and participated in online or outdoor training despite the adverse conditions.
The reward: Successful examinations for the students of Shinzen Dojo
We are particularly pleased that this year the diligent students of Shinzen Dojo were also able to take their exams. This applies to both the adults who took part in online karate and the children and teenagers who trained at the outdoor karate sessions. Congratulations again at this point!
The 1st training back at the dojo!
When it was 07.06.2021 officially allowed to continue at the dojo again, we quickly created the necessary conditions to be able to fully re-enter Kyokushin Karate training. Basics, form exercises, and sparring exercises could finally be practiced with partners again.
Routine karate training under strict regulations
More and more old and new students came back to the Shinzen Dojo for karate training. We implemented the regulations of the Berlin Senate almost monthly and checked them strictly so that karate training could be continued without complications.
The long-awaited event in Bremen with Shihan Yoshihiko Nakahata
Das langersehnte gemeinsame Seminar with Shihan Yoshihiko Nakahata, Gründer des Daisho Ryu Karate and ehemaliger Schüler von Sosai Mas Oyama, aus Bremen war ein Karate-Highlight für uns in diesem Jahr. Karate ist nicht nur Kyokushin oder Shotokan, sonder Karate verbindet motivierte Menschen, die gemeinsam an sich arbeiten und weiter entwickeln wollen.
The Kyokushin Karate journey begins for two new brown belts
On Sunday, 24.10.2021, the time had finally come - Shinzen Dojo welcomes two new brown belts! Sempai Marco Krüper and Sempai Choijantsan Bayarkhuu. Together with other examinees, they successfully passed their Kyu examination and received their well-deserved Kyokushin brown belts. Congratulations and continued success on the Kyokushin Karate journey!
The annual wrap-up and winter break
The last joint karate training with children, teenagers, and adults was celebrated for the 1st time in the Sports and Recreation Park Straussberg.
For the crowning finale, there was a Kyokushin Karate cake from our master confectioner from Bacomys, Denis Meißner. Many thanks for this!
