About us

Gesar karate Club CIC was founded by Hjalmar Dentlinger on 09/04/2024. This how ever was not the beginning.

Hjalmar Dentlinger Sensei started his training in Namibia, in 2000, under G. Husselmann Kiyoshi (7th Dan). Hjalmar Progressed to 1st Dan under Kiyoshi, when he moved to England. Here he joined the E.K.O. (English Karate Organisation), where he progressed and was graded to 4th Dan. In 2022 he was graded to 5th Dan by BMABA (British martial arts and boxing association). In 2023 he received a 5th Dan grade from W.K.U. England (World Karate and Kickboxing Union).

Hjalmar Sensei believes karate is for all and karate can improve our daily lives. Karate strengthens us mentally and physically. It gives us the tools to help improve our daily lives.

Gesar Karate is a club that teaches traditional Gōjū-ryū (剛柔流), Karate (空手), Kobudō (古武道) and sport karate. We compete in traditional karate tournaments as well as in kickboxing tournaments (although we are quite new to kickboxing). We try to encourage everyone to reach their full potential. In Gesar karate everybody is made to feel welcome and everyone is made to feel they to can be a world champion.
