Das sagen unsere Mitglieder & Seminarteilnehmer

Christian is always in a great mood, and you can tell he lives what he does. For me, he's one of my mentors. After over 50 years of karate, including competitive sport karate, I'm finally meeting someone who demonstrates and teaches karate the way the old masters originally developed it. As he says, "Research the old to understand the new."

Burg Stahleck Karatepraxis Retreat – July 2025 The Karatepraxis Retreat at Burg Stahleck this year was once again beyond words—truly unforgettable and filled with growth, laughter, and connection. We had the privilege of training under some truly incredible instructors: Sensei Iain Abernethy, Christian Wedewardt, Master Ken and Matt Page. Each of them brought their own unique approach and energy to the seminars, and we were incredibly lucky to benefit from their deep knowledge, generosity, and passion for karate. From powerful bunkai sessions to dynamic drills and insightful workshops, every class was a learning experience in its own right. The energy was heightened by over a hundred amazing participants. One of the absolute highlights was The Master Ken Show—an unforgettable experience full of humor, surprise, and “Ameri-Do-Te” flair! If there had been a prize for “The Person Who Laughed the Most,” I would have gladly and proudly accepted it—with grace and a big smile! 😂 Every year at this retreat brings something special. Last year was amazing, but this year truly outdid itself—especially having most of the team together. We trained hard, shared deeply, and laughed freely. The sense of family, community and purpose was something I will carry with me for a long time. We’re gonna have a good one? We had a great one. Already looking forward to next year!
