Liam McDonagh demonstrated Chuan-Fa Kenpo in Rosenheim

On 21st of October 2006, Liam McDonagh from Ireland was at the Seiwakan-Budo Dojo in Rosenheim to teach Chuan-Fa Kenpo. McDonagh is Freddy Kleinschwärzers master of Kenpo and came to Rosenheim to give a seminar for participants from all over Bavaria. He gave Kleinschwärzer in 1992, while Freddy was working at the German Embassy in Dublin day for day private lessons in this style. During this time they became more than just Master and Student, they became good friends.

The participants arrived even from the far Bavarian Forest to attend the lesson. McDonagh first emphasised on the important footwork and stances in Kenpo. Right after he moved on to show how effective and fast Kenpo Self Defence is working.

After about 3 ½ hours of intensive training, the participants have been exhausted and lost their concentration. A good point for McDonagh to stop the lessons and say some words about the princips of Kenpo and how he enjoyed to teach this afternoon and of course to make new friends. As little present, Seiwakan-Budo Chairman Freddy Kleinschwärzer handed Liam and his partner Ciaran McDonagh a gift over, for the fantastic seminar.

The moreover he won the Freestyle Forms with the juniors, followed from silver and bronze in traditional Kata.

The show team "Kun Tai Ko Martial Arts" sent three competitors into running. Susi Fink got the first place in the colour belt class of Freestyle forms, as well as in the synchronous form competition and stood thereby with its white belt far over all expectations. Philipp Neumayer convinced by its form in the category "weapon forms" and won the gold for Germany.

But thus not enough; he won also gold in the traditional Kata and in pointfighting. The Flintsbacher "Daniel Gärtner", began in six different disciplines, which he all finished medals. To emphasize one must here particularly the victory of the "Freestyle Karate" and the silver medal in the pointfighting Semicontact, followed of gold within the range breaking test and synchronous forms with and without weapons. Daniel Gärtner, Philipp Neumayer, Susi Fink and Dennis Kleinschwärzer were allowed to begin in each case in its age group and graduation again against all leaders of other disciplines around the title "Grand champion".

Exciting running around the victory let the spectators the breath come to a hold. In the end there was the - Grand champion for Philipp Neumayer of the color belts over 18 years and Grand champion for Daniel Gärtner of the black belts over 18 years. Differently than used, in this tournament still another highlight was attached. The US film star and competitive athlete Mike Chat brought valuable Samurai swords for the victory of the overall champion - the winner over all. So all Grand champion fighted against each other. In the end only one remained, Daniel Gärtner - Overall Grand champion.
