Hi everyone, My name is Gert Corfitzen Jürgensen, and this is my personal blog about Karate.
I made this blog out of interest in research and study of old-school Karate and Kobudo, including the history, origins, evolution, and tactical application theories.
I started my Karate career back in August 1981 at the age of 17. Although I am best known for Karate, I also trained Wing Tsun, Kickboxing, Judo, Kenpo, Tai Chi among others. However, the main focus has always been on Karate.
