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.
