We have some spots left!

Dear open minded martial artist,
we are really excited about this upcoming event! Please read to the end:

This august the 29th we will have an awesome opportunity to compliment our toolboxes for fighting.

There will be 2 training blocks:
10.00-12.00 and 13.00-15.00

The Muay Thai fighter Linda Faysal (Linda Faysal 🥊 Muay Thai Fighter in Thailand, where she has been training and successfully competing many years until now. Last year she won the German Muay Thai Championships (WBC), this year (2026) she won the International Muay Thai Championships!

Together we have been thinking about how we can support karateka and other martial artists to develop their full potential in fighting (which should be intended in martial arts).

Linda Faysal is a very skilled and experienced expert. She knows what she talks about, in her full contact competitions she has been learning to apply effective techniques and to act under stress.

At the same time she is also a very friendly, clear and structured trainer and personal coach. Our exchange about a possible seminar with Karateka was the most detailed discussion I ever had before a gasshuku. She took notes about ‚our‘ movement principles, struggles of many karateka in irikumi and other aspects and suggested those seminar blocks, that you can find in the program.
One focus will be to trap/fool opponents in a way, that they move into a favorable position.
In the second block Linda will guide us through training methods to prepare for a fight while staying injury free. We will take a lot out of this!

Linda Faysal:
Active Muay Thai fighter
long time personal trainer
Physiotherapist
Lic. Personal Trainer
Lic. Sports- and Healthtrainer
Fitness Trainer A-Lic.
International Champion WBC

This workshop is meant to compliment your karate-arsenal of techniques. It is a unique possibility to open our horizons and another step to bring our irikumi skills to perfection.

In my personal opinion a warrior is not measured by the ability to fight.
A warrior is measured by the wisdom to know when—and why—to use that ability. 🥋

Karate should make us stronger.

Not so we can dominate others,
but so we can protect them.

Strength means helping those who cannot defend themselves.
Confidence helps standing up against injustice.
Discipline enables us to remain calm when others lose control.
Compassion supports us using our skills to build people up, not tear them down.

Experienced Karateka protect not only with fists, but also with words, presence, and character.

Sometimes the greatest act of courage is to step between a vulnerable person and those who would harm them.
Sometimes it is simply to listen, encourage, or offer a helping hand.

The broader purpose of becoming a warrior is not to create fear.
It is to become someone, who others can feel safe around.

When sinking into Neko Ashi Dachi, the bodyweight settles naturally into the stance. At the same time, the tanden opens, the hips relax, and the center of gravity lowers.

This is more than a change of stance.

It is a way of using gravity to your advantage.

A lower center of gravity creates stability.
Relaxed hips allow force to travel through the entire body.
Instead of pushing with muscular effort alone, your bodyweight becomes part of the technique.

Whether applying a lock, disrupting balance, or generating close-range power, dropping your weight often achieves more than trying to overpower your opponent. In this case, using the elbow of the lowering hand in Tora Guchi, almost only the latissimus is used for muscular power.

This movement is a part of many kata and can be applied in many ways! 👊🥋

TOTAL COMMITMENT TO THE MOMENT.
ONE LIFE. ONE SHOT. HOLD NOTHING BACK.

A hair grab is rarely just a hair grab. It is often followed by punches to the face. 🥋

That is why the first priority is not striking—it is protecting yourself.

Secure the grabbing hand with both of your hands.
Bring your elbows forward to shield your head and face.
Drop your bodyweight into a stable base, similar to Shiko Dachi, to prevent being pulled off balance.

From there, use your entire body—not just your arms—to apply the arm lock.

If the situation requires it, the movement naturally creates an opportunity for a short strike, following the same body mechanics as Gedan Barai in Gekisai or Seiyunchin Kata.

The principle is simple:

Protect.
Stabilize.
Control.
Respond.

Traditional Karate offers more than techniques—it teaches principles that can be adapted to realistic acts of violence.

Train for reality, not choreography.

🙏 Follow for more!

Phantastic learnings & exchange!

The hand-pull in Saifa Kata is a lesson in control. 🥋

In practical application, the pulling motion can be used to secure the opponent’s arm, disrupt their posture, and expose the elbow to mechanical pressure or even break it.
