At the seminar in Finland I met a pleasant man with a sense of humor and that humor was brilliantly present whilst his teaching. His ideas were very well and thoroughly thought out and what’s best? They were intriguing! His way of teaching was fun and engaging. Truly enjoyed these new fresh winds of Karatepraxis. The one minus that pops into my mind is that the man, Christian Wedewardt, mentioned many times that he talks too much. I strongly disagree, let your passion keep on talking!
Trying to remember what Christian told me to write, karatepraxis is the best…
Just kidding, this are my own words. First seminar in Finland is over and that was probably the best seminar I’ve ever been. All the pain and laughing is what karate seminars should be. Techniques were practical and simple so even I learn a lot. Thank you both, can’t wait next seminar, when ever that will be.
Thank you Christian for a fantastic seminar last weekend in Vaasa Finland. Really enjoyed your teaching style and your insights to Heian Katas. Your teaching style is dynamic and execiting. Really wish to attend your seminars also in the future some day somewhere. All the best!
I hosted a seminar with Christian in Vaasa, Finland in October, 2019. It was a really nice weekend, and we greatly enjoyed his teaching. The methods and bunkai we did were suitable for all grades. His teaching methods are really unique, you learn bunkai quickly in a very fun way. Our juniors really enjoyed the kids practice and so did the adults. Thank you for a memorable weekend, hope to see you again soon!
We attended Christian Wedewardt’s seminar in Vaasa, Finland on 5th – 6th October, 2019. During the weekend, we went through material from the white belt level to the orange belt level, studying first three Heian katas. Christian’s approach was practical and fun to do, and pedagogically sound. The content of the seminar was appropriate for all levels of practitioners. Even though we have been doing Heian katas for several years, his perspective gave many new ideas and new ways to think about katas. We had really good time kicking and punching each other, training hard but at the same time smiling and laughing, too! We now have a new karate quote: ”Karate is a feeling – and that feeling is pain” by Christian Wedewardt. Thank you so much for visiting Finland and hope to see you soon again!
From my point of view:
I love Karate! Teaching abroad is a wonderful opportunity to get “in contact” with other enthusiastic martial-artist around the world. Finland was an amazing experience for me. I met amazing nice people there and do really look forward to seeing all of them again. I’d like to express my appreciation to the World Combat Association, WCA, which is the great foundation for the international exchange between practical martial-artist. Thanks!
