&lt;p&gt;One year after &lt;a href="https://www.rebels-karate.at/en/aktuelles/gold-and-bronze-again-styrian-open-2025/"&gt;Lorenz Hellmer&amp;rsquo;s double success&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Rebels Karateclub Wien&lt;/strong&gt; returned to the &lt;strong&gt;Styrian Open 2026&lt;/strong&gt; in Graz &amp;ndash; and once again our athletes were able to bring medals home to Vienna. The tournament is among the most significant international karate competitions in the German-speaking world and is a true benchmark for any ambitious karateka.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="a-top-tier-field-of-participants"&gt;A Top-Tier Field of Participants&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every year, athletes from all over Europe compete at the Styrian Open in the disciplines of Kata and Kumite. Alongside ambitious club fighters, national team athletes from performance centers also take part. This is exactly the level the Rebels seek: anyone who prevails here has held their own against strong competition.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>ESKA European Championship 2025 – Rebels in Portimão</title><link>https://www.rebels-karate.at/en/aktuelles/eska-european-championship-2025-rebels-in-portimao/</link><pubDate>Sun, 30 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rebels-karate.at/en/aktuelles/eska-european-championship-2025-rebels-in-portimao/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="eska-european-championship-2025-in-portimão--the-next-international-stage"&gt;ESKA European Championship 2025 in Portimão – the Next International Stage&lt;/h2&gt;

From Spain to Portugal, from one major event to the next &amp;ndash; this double load at the highest international level impressively demonstrates the ambition and aspirations of our young club.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="the-journey-to-portugal"&gt;The Journey to Portugal&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lisbon in late autumn, airport halls decorated for Christmas and the anticipation of another international tournament &amp;ndash; the trip to Portimão was the prelude to an intense competition weekend for the Rebels team.

Athletes from numerous nations met in the Czech sports arena to compete in the disciplines of Kata and Kumite.

For the Rebels Karateclub Wien, this day would become a milestone &amp;ndash; as Edvin Kuric fought his way through one of the toughest classes of the entire tournament as pool winner.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="84-entries--the-scale-of-the-kumite-seniors-open-class"&gt;84 Entries &amp;ndash; The Scale of the Kumite Seniors Open Class&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Kumite Seniors Open category at the Karate World Championship in Cadiz was, with 84 entries, one of the most heavily contested classes of the entire tournament. Athletes from over 40 nations competed against each other &amp;ndash; experienced competitors from Japan, Brazil, Germany, Turkey and many other karate powerhouses. In such a class, merely surviving the preliminary rounds requires the utmost concentration, tactical discipline and the ability to deliver under enormous pressure.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>WSKA World Championship 2025 – Arrival in Cadiz</title><link>https://www.rebels-karate.at/en/aktuelles/wska-world-championship-2025-arrival-in-cadiz/</link><pubDate>Thu, 18 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rebels-karate.at/en/aktuelles/wska-world-championship-2025-arrival-in-cadiz/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The time has come &amp;ndash; the Rebels Karateclub Wien has made the journey to Andalusia and is ready for the biggest stage in Shotokan karate: the &lt;strong&gt;WSKA World Championship 2025 in Cadiz, Spain&lt;/strong&gt;.

&lt;h2 id="the-journey-to-the-wska-world-championship-in-cadiz"&gt;The Journey to the WSKA World Championship in Cadiz&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Months of preparation, countless training sessions and a clear goal in sight &amp;ndash; and now the day of departure has finally arrived. For &lt;strong&gt;Edvin Kuric&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Lorenz Hellmer&lt;/strong&gt; from Rebels Karateclub Wien, an adventure like no other begins. The two karateka represent not only our club, but all of Austria at the Karate World Championship in Cadiz.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Summer Camp Fuerstenfeld 2025 – Rebels on the Road!</title><link>https://www.rebels-karate.at/en/aktuelles/summer-camp-fuerstenfeld-2025-rebels-on-the-road/</link><pubDate>Sat, 30 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rebels-karate.at/en/aktuelles/summer-camp-fuerstenfeld-2025-rebels-on-the-road/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="karate-summer-camp-fuerstenfeld-2025--rebels-on-the-road"&gt;Karate Summer Camp Fuerstenfeld 2025 – Rebels on the Road!&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was that time again at the end of August: Rebels Karateclub Wien packed the sports bags, loaded the karate gis into the car and headed to Styria. Destination: the traditional Karate Summer Camp in Fuerstenfeld &amp;ndash; one of the most popular karate camps in Austria. What awaited us? Three days of intense training, new encounters and that special camp feeling you only experience when you stand on the mat together.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Joint Kumite Special Training at Rebels Karateclub</title><link>https://www.rebels-karate.at/en/aktuelles/joint-kumite-special-training-at-rebels-karateclub/</link><pubDate>Mon, 18 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rebels-karate.at/en/aktuelles/joint-kumite-special-training-at-rebels-karateclub/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;On August 18, 2025, a special kumite training session took place at Rebels Karateclub Wien: together with guests from the Viennese karate scene, an intense and varied training evening was completed. What started as an invitation between friendly clubs turned into an afternoon full of energy, learning and genuine solidarity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="joint-kumite-training-with-guests-from-vienna"&gt;Joint Kumite Training with Guests from Vienna&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The idea behind the joint training is as simple as it is effective: when karateka from different clubs come together, new impulses arise that are often difficult to generate in regular club training. Different fighting styles, other timings and unfamiliar reach challenge your own adaptability &amp;ndash; exactly what makes the difference in competitive kumite.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>3 Athletes, 3 Medals – A Successful Weekend for Rebels Karateclub</title><link>https://www.rebels-karate.at/en/aktuelles/3-athletes-3-medals-sport-austria-finals-2025/</link><pubDate>Thu, 03 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rebels-karate.at/en/aktuelles/3-athletes-3-medals-sport-austria-finals-2025/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="austrian-national-championship-2025-in-innsbruck-rebels-karateclub-wins-three-medals"&gt;Austrian National Championship 2025 in Innsbruck: Rebels Karateclub Wins Three Medals&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What a day for Rebels Karateclub Wien! On May 3, 2025, Lorenz Hellmer proved at the Styrian Open in Graz that the Rebels spirit knows no bounds.

&lt;p&gt;On April 26, 2025, the Rebels Karateclub wrote a chapter of club history. At the &lt;strong&gt;Vienna Regional Championship 2025&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;ndash; the very first tournament in the club&amp;rsquo;s young history &amp;ndash; our athletes claimed &lt;strong&gt;three medals with three starters&lt;/strong&gt;. A result that exceeded even the boldest expectations and shows the potential within this team.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For a club that was founded not long ago, participating in an official karate tournament in Vienna is already a big step. But the Rebels wanted more than just to be there.

&lt;p&gt;The workshop was aimed at anyone who wanted to learn how to move safely and confidently in everyday situations. At the center was the concept of &lt;strong&gt;situational awareness&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;ndash; the ability to recognize dangers early, assess them correctly and respond appropriately.
