Bridging Borders Through Martial Arts: A Seminar of Unity and Survival at KMAA-DOJO
Today 29th August 2025 in Mansfield, England, the KMAA-DOJO became a hub of international martial arts excellence, hosting a seminar that transcended technique and touched the heart of what martial arts truly represent: unity, respect, and shared growth.
The event was led by two towering figures in the martial arts world — Gunter Bauer, 10th Dan Germay David Kacperski, 10th Dan England whose combined experience and leadership set the tone for a day of deep learning and mutual respect. Joining them was Christian Hausegger, 6th Dan, who traveled from Austria with his dedicated team, bringing with them not just skill, but a spirit of camaraderie that elevated the entire experience.
The seminar focused on survival and self-defence techniques from the Bauer Kamp System, a discipline rooted in realism, adaptability, and precision. Participants were immersed in practical scenarios, learning how to respond with clarity and confidence under pressure — skills that go far beyond the dojo walls.
But what truly made this seminar exceptional was the networking and collaboration among like-minded martial artists. It wasn’t just about mastering techniques; it was about building bridges. The exchange of ideas, philosophies, and cultural perspectives created an atmosphere of mutual enrichment. Instructors and students alike found common ground in their dedication to discipline, safety, and continuous improvement.
This gathering reaffirmed a powerful truth: when martial artists come together with open minds and shared values, they don’t just train — they evolve. The bonds formed at KMAA-DOJO today will ripple outward, strengthening clubs, federations, and communities across borders.
As the seminar concluded, there was a palpable sense of pride and possibility. The KMAA-DOJO once again proved itself not only as a centre of excellence, but as a beacon for collaboration, tradition, and innovation.
Here’s to many more events that unite us in purpose and elevate the martial arts world — one handshake, one technique, and one shared vision at a time.
