Local Karate Practitioners in Lörrach Craft Their Own Martial Arts Anthem
Lörrach Karate School's Children Shine with Their Own Rap Song
In a unique and inspiring project, the Lörrach karate school has empowered its young students to write, sing, and produce their own rap song. The idea for this initiative was born from Saskia Mathias, a karate enthusiast who trains at the school with her daughter Cleo.
Saskia's passion for karate and her experiences with music projects with children inspired her to create an opportunity that would boost self-confidence in the children. The project was designed to help shy children develop self-confidence, providing them with structured activities that encourage personal achievement, social interaction, and self-expression.
The karate school's rap song, named "OSS," is a powerful word from the karate world that embodies respect, determination, and the willingness to bravely overcome obstacles. The song's lyrics, penned by the children themselves, resonate with messages of perseverance and strength. Lines like "Every strike is a hit, train hard and get better" and "Karate gives me courage and makes me stronger" echo the sentiments of the young musicians.
The creative work for the rap song began after a successful project grant application. Peter Reimtgut, a Lörrach musician, assisted the children in writing their song lyrics. The project culminated in a professional recording studio visit, a new challenge for the young karate students, but their karate training helped them overcome initial shyness with discipline and courage.
The music video production was a test of patience for many children, but they love the finished product. The video, now available on YouTube, has reached family members of the karate students in Brazil and Iraq, spreading the message of self-confidence and determination far and wide.
The success of the Lörrach karate school's project has sparked enthusiasm among karate schools from other parts of Baden-Württemberg. The experience has taught the children and teenagers an important life lesson: Believing in yourself and persevering can lead to great things.
Enya Holzer, a young student at the karate school, expressed excitement about the project, stating it had always been a dream of theirs to record a song in a studio. For Enya and the other children involved, the project has been a transformative experience, fostering self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment.
While specific findings related to the Lörrach karate school’s case study are not readily available, it is clear that the combination of karate and music projects can create supportive environments where shy children gradually become more confident in themselves and their social abilities. Through discipline, repetition, and skill mastery in karate, and creative outlets in music, these programs offer a unique and effective approach to building self-esteem and assertiveness in children.
