Every year, a police trainer workshop takes place, which deals with fitness and physical performance, but also with new ideas and suggestions for the implementation of sporting content for police service sport.
Around 40 sports trainers from the police from all over Germany took part in this sports seminar, which took place this year in Eutin in Schleswig-Holstein, the seat of the German Police Sports Board (DPSK). DPSK Chairperson Dr. Maren Freyher personally welcomed the participants from all federal states.
In addition to topics such as sports mental training or what content is actually relevant in official sport, the sport of judo was represented in this seminar for the second time. Not only some participants who have a strong Judo affinity took part. Part of the workshop was also designed by the specialist judo in the DPSK, Johannes Daxbacher. It was a particular pleasure for him that he was able to welcome successful police judoka who are now themselves in positions of responsibility in their federal states for police sport and especially for police judo. “Kay Grapentin from Schleswig-Holstein, Andrea Otremba from Rhineland-Palatinate and the former Vice European Police Champion Kerstin Schmidtsdorf from Brandenburg are active as wardens and trainers in their federal states and thus bring judo sport and self-defense into police sport,” says Johannes Daxbacher.
There were many topics in the workshop, including combative games and questions about injury prevention. “Injuries on the job have many consequences and are often associated with absences. These are effects for the moment, but also in the future. That’s why we want to develop a feeling for how it feels when someone fights back and not everything is cooperative. We need to prepare for the physical conflict that unfortunately can happen in day-to-day work.”
The graduate trainer Johannes Daxbacher also incorporated various competitive exercises with the judo belt and the Pezzi ball into the combative judo games.
Finally, the judo values were the basis of a discussion. “We discussed the absolute necessity of value-conscious action by police officers and established the transfer of international judo values to ‘police values’,” reports Johannes Daxbacher.
