A
pril 21st, 2007 - At "The Placa Hotel" Dublin, the foundation meeting of the National Martial Arts Games Committee, short NMAGC Ireland, took place. Mr. Freddy Kleinschwaerzer, President of NMAGC Germany and Executive Director of the WMAGC (World Martial Arts Games Committe) has arranged this meeting with officials and well known Martial Artists from Ireland. The aim of this foundation meeting was to create the statutes of NMAGC Ireland and to have first elections. After a very work intensive and 7 hours lasting assembly the frameset was created as well as the constitution and elections about the heads of this unique committee. Mr. Liam McDonagh was elected for the position President, Mr. Martin O'Malley and Mr. Ciaran McDonagh for 1st and 2nd Vice-President. Right after the elections this new formed Executive Committee chosed Mr. Declan Kenny as Treasurer and Mr. Martin O'Malley (alredy the international secretary of the WMAGC) for the position of Secretary. The next step will be, to register the NMAGC Ireland with a Solicitor at the Dublin District Court, followed by seeking Division Heads for the positions Referee, Japanese Style, Korean Style, Wushu, Ju-Jutsu, Kickboxing, modern musical Forms, Self Defence, Grappling, Breaking and other Divisions. To find tournament promoters/hosts within Ireland, willing to enable their event as official qualifier for the annual WMAG's will be the last urgent step. As headquarter they havel chosen Dublin. After the meeting was finished, Mr. Kleinschwaerzer congratulated the new and now official National Martial Arts Committee heads and wished them good luck in establishing a solid NMAGC  Ireland. He closed the meeting with the hope to see a huge selection of Irish Martial Artists at the upcoming World Martial Arts Games in Regensburg/Germany.

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.

Over 50 nations have been invited to this Games.

Because big problems with foreigners inside Ireland the irish Govenment closed the border for Counties like India, Pakistan, Iraq, Russia etc. and therefore only 15 nations could get together from around the World. Altogether at 2 days, more than went 800 fighters started. Esspecially in the Forms-division outstanding achievement was shown. Even already in the child classes, there was to be seen world level.
For Germany were represented Freddy Kleinschwaerzer (Hardstyle Japanese), Pitzke Daniel (Softstyle chinese), Kerstin Jacob (Korean Studentgrade) and Stefan Ziegler (Japanese Studentgrade). Only two ten behind Tony Gallo out of the USA (John Paul Mitchell teams), and before the iranischen national fighter Nasrollah Kakavand, Freddy Kleinschwaerzer took the 2nd place therefore the silver medal. Daniel Pitzke secured itself undisputed the 1st place and reached therefore gold. Kerstin Jacob lay very tightly behind Monica Buckley out of the USA however yet before Sian Lanley out of Ireland and took the 2nd place, silver medal. Also Stefan Ziegler got gold for Germany. On the 2nd day, it went then further in the area Semi- and Lightcontact. In the class of the Studentgrade, Kerstin Jacob women (Semicontact) prematurely got eliminated. In the student degrees man (Semicontact), Stefan Ziegler appeared of its best side. After his preliminary fight against Eoin Mc Carthy (Scotland), Connor Doyle (Ireland), Breden Murphy (Ireland), Tommy Bregin (USA) respectively prematurely through technical K. O. won, stood in the finals with the Canadian Trevor Krely. In a thrilling final, Ziegler won the gold medal after extension for Germany. Susanne Brkic eliminated in Semicontact of the ladies brown, already prematurely eliminated in her first fight. On the other hand she demonstrated in Lightcontact that she belongs to the top. Unfortunately she didn't make it to enter into the finals. because she was beaten by the former World Champion Julie Mc Hale from Ireland. Nevertheless passed it yet for the bronce medal for Germany.

Caroline Meixner as a greenbelt was participating in the class of the ladies blackbelts. Actually not even one her opponents was able to give her a hard live. . Without any effort, she won against Keating (Ireland), Glacien Small (Ireland), Julie Mc Hale (Ireland) as well as the American Jenni Fitzpatric the gold medal for Germany. She won all preliminary fights by technical K. O. . Therefore she stood in the evening in the finale of the Grand Champion. Her opponent was US - Nationalteam member belonging Patty Carmele. In a very exciting Grand Champion finale, she was able to prevail tightly against the American Patty Carmele. As a victory premium, she received an original (limited) Hibben Knife as well as a silver cup filled with a golden coins of American Dollars.
In the class blackbelts until 29 years, after a tremendous first fight Daniel Pitzke lost the second fight and became the unsatisfyingd 4th place. Freddy Kleinschwaerzer proved his abiliities in the senior class of the blackbelts. After he beated Matthew Braune from Australia, he was fighting himself against the Irish Wheelan successfully into the finale, where he faced the American Mc Dermott. In the extension Kleinschwaerzer lost after a clear wrong decision the done by the Referee's. Therefore the silver medal remained for Germany. In the Teamfight won the Team Germany in the final with a clear point advantage (17: 14 hits) against Team America.

During the formal event organization it came to a special surprise for Freddy Kleinschwaerzer. All present spectators and fighter became witnesses, when he got handed out his 6.Dan in Seiwakan Budo as well as his 3. Dan in Ju Jutsu through the vice president of the WAKO USA and the promoter and organizer of the World Games 2001, Bruce C. Smith. The honor came from the all Japan Seibukan Martial Arts Association (Kyoto, Japan) and the Kokusai Dentokan Bugei Renmei issued by Roy Jerry Hops 10.Dan /Hanshi – one of Kleinschwaerzers Instructors – who asked Mr. Smith for this favor to present the Graduation in a special manner during the W.O.M.A.A. World Games Awards Ceremony. During the event it developed an enormous teamspirit between each member of Team Germany. Certainly this was the reason for the great achievements and success. To mention is, that now Associtation or Organization was represented as separate groups. Each team only presented their country, therefore it came up not at all even one decision done by bad sportspolitics. These reflected itself therein that enormously many friendships were made during the event. . T.
