The presence of the seminar was also graced by the Krakow figthers – former medalists of the World Championships, European Championships and Polish Championships in the persons of Anna Lisowska (2nd dan), Michał Werner (3rd dan), Kamil Mastaj (1st dan).

The grouping was focused on kumite, which is the heart of karate, so after welcoming the guests, there was a warm-up with strength exercises in pairs and a combination training on tai sabaki (descents) and perfecting high kicks (kakato oroshi) led by sensei Krzysztof R. Kopciowski (3rd dan). The next item on the program was a 45-minute kumite in the age groups: 12-13 years, 14-15 years, 16-17 years, and +18 years, which is also an examination for participants taking higher grades (kyu).
