On 28 September 2025, two groups of women met again for self-defence training organised by Tatsu-Ryu-Bushido in Limburgerhof. Timo Gartner was in charge of the technical management. Thorsten Klein supervised the women in the basic course, who, despite their different ages, made remarkable progress in their training. Women who were dealing with the subject for the first time in their lives needed only a few hours to overcome their inhibitions and demonstrate considerable toughness in their techniques, always with the aim of enabling them to escape. This was supplemented by two scenarios to learn how to apply what they had learned in unfamiliar terrain. Timo trained the advanced/in-depth group. The focus there was on preliminary stages of full-contact drills, but also on mental training, which was sometimes perceived as more strenuous than the physical training, and on the role reversal from defender to attacker. Timo supplemented this with basics in ground survival, as well as by working on real-life situations in training. Both parts of the course were challenging for everyone involved, but also great fun. We look forward to the next one!
