Experience four days of intensive karate training in a unique atmosphere: at a historic castle high above the Rhine, you’ll take part in a top-level, hands-on seminar. Train under the guidance of internationally renowned guest instructors who share their real-world expertise directly with you.

In addition to around 18 hours of pure karate – indoors in the tatami-covered Knight’s Hall and outdoors in the castle courtyard – you can look forward to true highlights: connecting with motivated karateka, healthy full-board catering, and a shared BBQ on Saturday evening. This seminar is aimed at karateka from green belt level and age 16 and up who want to deepen their skills, gain new perspectives, and experience karate as functional self-defense. In short – 2 days, 1 experience, 100% impact.

Burg Stahleck sits picturesquely above the Middle Rhine Valley and is now operated as a modern youth hostel – without losing its medieval charm. For the Karatepraxis Castle Retreat, we have an exclusive allocation of single, double, and shared rooms. This ensures that every participant finds the right accommodation – from a quiet single room to a sociable group option.

All meals are fully included: healthy, balanced full-board catering ensures you can focus entirely on your training. A special highlight is our Saturday evening BBQ, where connection, relaxation, and enjoyment take center stage – all with a view of the sunset over the Rhine.

The heart of the Karateseminar is the training itself: around 18 hours of practical karate – divided between intensive sessions in the approximately 150 m² tatami-covered Knight’s Hall and the open castle courtyard, where we train dynamics, presence, and application in the fresh air. The sessions are methodically structured and tailored to different levels of experience. You’ll be guided by a team of internationally experienced, practice-oriented instructors who don’t just teach karate – they live it.

And the setting is just right: beyond the training sessions, there is intentionally space for rest, nature, meaningful exchange with fellow participants, and the unique atmosphere of the castle. This creates a weekend experience that strengthens both body and mind.
