Special Kata Training: Focus on Sanchino and Tensho Kata

09.05.2025

As part of the special kata training with guest trainer Sensei Santos Belsue (St. Gallen), the original black belts from Japan were awarded to Ale, Xaver, (Winterthur) and Nicole (Ebikon). At this point, heartfelt congratulations again to those who were examined last November! Senpai Valentino (St. Gallen) also made sure to applaud his examination buddies during the belt presentation. Bravo to all those who have mastered the next hurdle in their karate careers.

The training, which focused on Sanchino and Tenshokata, was primarily led by Sensei Santos. These two katas urgently needed a practical refresher, as they are not tournament kata and therefore receive somewhat neglected attention from us Wintis. It was fantastic that we, as a diverse group from the three KKUS dojos, were able to benefit from Sensei Santos's knowledge. At this point, a big thank you to the two dojos Ebikon (Sensei Corinne) and St. Gallen (Sensei Santos) for the time they spent and the journey they took.
