Biography Sifu Karsten Köster
My name is Karsten Köster. I am a social worker. In 1977, as an inspired twelve years old
boy, I began Kung Fu training. As a beginner I learned a mixed style called Shantung Kung
Fu. After years of patient practice, I entered numerous Kung Fu tournaments. These open
weight-class semi-contact tournaments took place in Berlin with participants from all over
Europe. I received 1980 3. place, `81 1. place, `82 3. place and `83 2. place.
The esteemed SiFu LoAHim has been my teacher since 1978. In 1987 he started to teach me in
the pure LoBanTeng style. During an intensive training course in Indonesia I met and
trained
with venerable master SinShe LoSiauwGok. I feel extremely honored to have met him before
his
death in 1991. I received my master certification in 1992 and I am one of six recognized
masters of our style in Europe. After further years of intensive practise, in 2003 I
obtained
my second masters degree.
I have taught adults and children in Kung Fu since 1983. I have known many of my current
pupils since their childhood.
Ever since the opening of my own martial Arts Center called Quanfatang, in January 2000,
which is located in Berlin/Germany, I instruct HokKian SiauwLim LoBanTeng Pai according to
traditional methods.
These wholistic training methods include:
Qigong
meditation
unique techniques
Forms
Training increases:
self assurance
concentration
internal balance
energetic potential
ability for self defense
Beginners are very welcome.
