A project by Chr. Wedewardt
Karatepraxis ist moderne Tradition
Karatepraxis stands for karate with substance and impact.
Founder Christian Wedewardt (7th Dan) and the experienced karatepraxis team stand for sustainable quality in practical, application-oriented karate. Their goal is not only to teach karate, but to make it understandable – and to convey it in a way that works in everyday life.
The idea behind Karatepraxis is not merely to reproduce the familiar traditional 3K structure – consisting of Kihon (basics), Kata (forms), and Kumite (sparring) – but to purposefully develop it further. This is not about breaking with tradition, but about a contemporary interpretation that returns karate to its original context as functional self-defense.
At the heart of this approach is kata – not as a stylized sequence of movements, but as a coded system of principles, concepts, and tactics relevant to real-life confrontations. Every technique, stance, and turn is examined for its applicability in concrete self-defense situations. From this emerge logical defense concepts, tactical behavior, and meaningful action alternatives – adapted to age, mobility, and level of experience.
Karatepraxis is not a system “of the past,” but a living, learnable approach that understands karate as a tool for personal development, self-assertion, and self-defense. Anyone who wants to experience karate with purpose, structure, and impact will find here a modern interpretation of an ancient art – well-founded, clear, and rooted in practical application.
What defines Karatepraxis:
- Practical Karate with Substance and Impact
- Further development of the classical 3K structure
- Kata as a functional foundation
- Partner training with “bio-feedback” for technique optimization
- Training focus: self-defense and situational competence
- Individually adaptable concepts
- Clear, structured, and methodically designed
All Karatepraxis instructors are available for flexible booking – individually or as a team, tailored to your needs.

Lasting impulses – what makes Karatepraxis unique and why it fits into any dojo
The Karatepraxis concept combines tradition with practical relevance. It is based on a modern understanding of karate—one that goes beyond performing forms and focuses on applicability, clarity, and impact. The emphasis is not on a particular style or association, but on what works – technically, methodically, and didactically. What makes Karatepraxis truly special is its systematic approach to reinterpreting classical content. The 3K structure (Kihon, Kata, Kumite) is not replaced, but functionally reimagined. Kata is not merely a form, but a textbook of principles, concepts, and tactical behavior. From this emerges a form of karate that can be taught across styles, adapted to individual needs, and applied immediately. Every dojo, every style, and every instructor team can benefit. Because this concept doesn’t work against existing structures – it complements them, develops them further, and offers a methodological upgrade. Whether you want to bring more application into your dojo, strengthen your instructor team methodically, or provide your students with fresh inspiration: Karatepraxis is modular, targeted, and easy to integrate – all without losing the identity of your dojo.
