Karlsruhe May 15th-16th, 1999 - VII Open International Kung Fu/Wushu Championships



On the 15th and 16th of May our school was invited, for the second year, in the VII Open International Kung Fu Championship kept in Karlsruhe (Germany).

First of all, we have to mention Sifu Andreas Garski and his wife Evelyn because in this year, as the last one, organized a great event. They created an incredible group: so we felt a fantastic experience.

This Tournament opened with a little ceremony. There were teams and Sifu from Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway and Poland.
Then the forms tournament began. Because of a big participation, Garski divided pupils into many categories: Traditional and Modern Wushu.
There were 3 different squares: free hands, short and long weapons. Each category was divided in Traditional and Modern, but also in years of practice. In the same time, those presents had the possibility to see fighting matches and Tuishou: in this case categories was created with the weight of athletes.
