Hello everybody,

just a quick review on the 11th biannually DAV summer camp, that was held from the 27th of July to the 1st of August in Karlsruhe this year.

We were 175 practitioners coming from 10 countries. The participants from Russia, the USA and Hong Kong traveled to Germany especially for this camp.
Other attending countries were: Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, France, Denmark, Poland and the majority came of course from Germany.

We were 12 instructors there were 25 training sessions of 90 minutes in those 6 days. We taught 166 different classes with different topics for every session, because we had 6 to 7 instructors, who taught at the same time, to have rather small groups.
Here you can download an .xls file, where you can see the class schedule with all the tropics of the camp:

All the instructors taught on an extremely high level.
Even though you might not know the names, here is the list of the instructors together with their Arnis rank and years in Arnis and the city where they come from:

GM Datu Dieter Kn&#252;ttel, 8th Dan, 31 years, Dortmund
Master Hans Karrer, 6th Dan, 30 years, Ulm

Benedikt Eska, 4th Dan, 20 years, Munich, DAV secretary
Bernd Vieth, 4th Dan, 24 years, Frankfurt
Philipp Wolf, 3rd Dan, 12 years, Kiel, DAV Vice president
Alexander Pisarkin, 2nd Dan, 6 years, Ekatarinburg, Russia[FONT=&quot]

[/FONT]The mood was extremely good as well as the weather, so that we could train outside o the grass under the trees all week long.
Everybody (from 14 to 73 years of age) had a great time and lots of fun.

The participants were very cooperative and helpful to all who needed help, for example during the preparation for a examination.
Also the leisure time together in the evenings was very nice with lots of talks, jokes, dancing and also some beer.

We hat 20 black belt examinations and the examinees showed good to excellent levels. There were

9 to Lakan/Dayang Isa, 1st Dan
6 to Lakan Dalawa, 2nd Dan
1 to Lakan Tatlo, 3rd Dan
4 to Lakan/Dayang Apat, 4th Dan

Also, there was a professional video team filming part of the event ans special footage for a Modern Arnis DAV Image-Clip.
We are also very curious to see the final clip.

All together it was a great camp and we will be back in 2 years at the same location.

I will post some pictures, once I have some.

Maybe we will get some of the participants to write about their impressions as well.

Regards



Datu Dieter Kn&#252;ttel
