A Powerful Day of Learning at KMAA-DOJO Mansfield with Soke Gunter Bauer 10 Dan Saturday, 5th July 2025, marked a truly memorable milestone at KMAA-DOJO Mansfield as we had the honour of welcoming the legendary Soke Gunter Bauer, 10th Dan, for an exclusive Close Quarter Combat Seminar. Soke Bauer—renowned globally for his decades of contribution to martial arts—delivered an inspiring and technically rich seminar that brought together practitioners from across our community. His teachings embodied not only exceptional self-defence techniques but also the deep philosophies behind real-world protection, elevating the minds and skills of everyone present. Throughout the session, attendees explored practical close-quarter strategies, gaining invaluable insight into threat assessment, situational awareness, and dynamic control under pressure. Soke Bauer’s mastery, matched with his humble delivery, created an atmosphere that was both enlightening and deeply motivating. Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the clarity, intensity, and authenticity of the material presented. For many of our senior students, this was more than just a training session—it was an inspiration. We extend our sincere thanks to Soke Bauer for his generosity, wisdom, and commitment to developing martial artists of integrity. Events like these fuel our mission at KMAA to uphold the highest standards of instruction, discipline, and personal growth.
