Christian Grünert Earns the DOSB Level C Instructor License and Youth Leader License: Qualified and responsible training has always been a top priority at Tatsu-Ryu-Bushido. To continue meeting these high standards in the future, the club is committed to the thorough training and continuing education of its coaching staff. A recent example of this commitment is Christian Grünert, who successfully completed the Sportjugend Pfalz’s intensive training program for instructors and youth leaders in the first half of 2026. The intensive course focused on modern fundamentals of training and kinesiology, as well as the professional planning and structured execution of training sessions. In addition, insurance and legal issues were a key focus. Special attention was given to working with children and youth: In addition to targeted youth development and pedagogical fundamentals, the curriculum focused above all on the sensitive and appropriate handling of children and adolescents, as well as preventive measures against violence. Just under a month ago, Christian Grünert successfully passed both the theoretical and practical final exams. He is now the official holder of the DOSB Level C Instructor License (“Recreational Sports”) as well as the DOSB Youth Leader License from the German Olympic Sports Confederation. While in many other systems and martial arts schools, coaching licenses are often awarded internally, without uniform minimum standards or external quality control, Tatsu-Ryu-Bushido deliberately takes a different approach. The club places the utmost importance on state-recognized and sports-specific qualifications in accordance with the strict guidelines of the DOSB. “Martial arts are more than just learning techniques—they involve character building, personal development, and a great educational responsibility, especially toward children and adolescents,” emphasizes the club’s leadership. Through the combination of traditional martial arts and state-of-the-art, sports science-based training content, Tatsu-Ryu-Bushido guarantees safe, values-oriented, and high-quality training for all age groups. We warmly congratulate Christian Grünert on this outstanding achievement and look forward to our future training sessions together!
