A warm welcome
When you devote almost your entire adult life to one thing, dedicating yourself to it with the utmost devotion, the question of the meaningfulness of what you are doing arises again and again. For me, this intense search for the meaning of Karate-Do, the way of Karate, culminates in an apparent paradox:
„The only sense in engaging in the martial arts lies in the realisation that it is utter nonsense to indulge in fighting! Which means that you should dedicate yourself to martial arts! Because the essence of martial arts is the path to inner peace.“
On my web pages you will get an insight into my way of living karate – with the body, with emotion and spirit. May it serve as an inspiration to you.
The Kaimon Dōjō as a physical field of practice is a thing of the past for health reasons, but the path of karate in its psychological, pedagogical and philosophical depth, as well as kaimon in the context of the open door, the open heart and above all the open thoughts, is more than ever ready for the future.
Under the menu item „Kaimon Dōjō“ you can read the history of the Kaimon Dōjō. In my texts and poems, I will gladly continue to take you along my individual path of karate.
Cordially
