Karate Mühlbach selects club champions online

This year's online club championship was held exclusively in the discipline KATA (form competition) and, for children who do not yet have a yellow belt, also in the KIHON (basic techniques) category. The athletes had to record a video with a kata (from green belt with 2) and send it to the trainers, who then made the scoring. “We were amazed and impressed by the level,” said the coaching duo Silke Marcher and Martin Pezzei, as only online training was possible for 11 weeks. “Despite this, seeing such a performance is a testament to the potential of the athletes and to the fact that our path – no matter how rocky it may have been this season – is constantly leading up.” Review of the 2019/2020 season Painful experiences have shaped the 2019/2020 karate season as well as highlights that can be built on in the coming season. Death of Roberto Bertolani The season began with terrible news: On September 16, 2019, the coach of Wadokan Karate Bruneck, Roberto Bertolani, died suddenly and unexpectedly. Bertolani, the epitome of karate in the Pustertal, has introduced countless people to the martial art of karate for decades and has impressively demonstrated the basic principle of karate, peace and harmony. His death has left a deep hole for many - as a karate trainer and as a friend. Masterclasses Karate Mühlbach is characterized by the fact that several courses are organized and attended during each season. Stefano Del Nero came to Mühlbach twice: at the beginning of the season to lay important foundations for the development of the youth group and in December for the adult group. Particular highlights were the Kumite courses with Noah Bitsch in November and with George Tzanos in January - both athletes are among the world's best fighters. An annual fixture is the Kihon / Kata stage with karate master Fabrizio Comparelli from Rome. In addition, several athletes attended a course with Soke Iwao Yoshioka, while a bunkai course with Arnold Rofner and a kumite course with Nicola Boscariol were also offered in Mühlbach. Competitions Unfortunately, only 2 interregional and 2 national competitions could be held this season. “As difficult as this may have been for many athletes, they are even more hungry for the tournaments in the coming season,” the coaches are sure. Outlook for the coming season Nobody can yet say what will happen in September. The planning at Karate Mühlbach tries to take all possibilities into account. The start of the season is planned for September. “We hope that the joy of movement that has been shown by young and old during this time will continue, be strengthened and be valued as a positive fruit of this challenging time,” said the trainers.

Karate Mühlbach selects club champions online

Awarding the titles online in the martial art of karate sounds strange. No, this year's Karate Mühlbach championships were not held via video games.
