Monat: Januar 2024

After I published my first Karate article in „Gekkan Hiden“ magazine, I think it‘s time to announce my 2nd article. It‘s a continuation of the first article, and will describe a commonly unknown karate area in much more detail.

At the same time, I also collected a lot of information for a 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th article. And of course, with the help of my wife – I did a lot of interviews with Karate masters – each of them will deliver a lot of unknown information and they helped me already a lot in my understanding of Karate.

Finally, I hold a printed copy in my hands… Gekkan Hiden magazine did a great job. I really like the editing and the position of the photos.

It’s time to start my second article, which will be a continuation of my first article.

I‘m still working on it to walk minimum 10.000 steps a day !!! On my today morning tour I visited the monument of Funakoshi Gichin sensei.

I‘ve been many times at the old location, but finally I made it to the new location.

Eine Reise nach Okinawa ist für mich auch immer ein Besuch der Familie !!!

After finally publishing my first article (in Japanese) and also publishing my first book (in German), the year 2023 wasn’t so bad. I also luckily passed my next examination in Okinawa Kobudō. I hope that 2024 will be more successful (finger crossed) … up to 4 articles are in preparation, and at least two books about Japanese Martial Arts history in Germany are in the works … Let’s train, study, read and grow.
