Gilching / Starnberg– Looking at the Corona Crisis from a Positive Side? What sounds strange at first is for Dr. Robin Basu, of course. "This is a mega chance to use the headwind and grow mentally," says the taekwondo master and owner of three martial arts schools in Starnberg, Gilching and Grünwald. Basu adds: "In such situations, you can create a feeling for your own strength." The 38-year-old wants to teach this to as many people as possible in these difficult times. He is therefore offering his half-hour Taekwondo online course free of charge until further notice.

For Basu, sport is more than a hobby. "Martial arts is a school of life" is the name of his school's website "Method Taekwondo", which the 5th degree master has been running for 15 years. This is not the only reason why Basu can draw on a wealth of experience. At the university he researched how crisis situations develop personality and also wrote his dissertation on this connection. "We shouldn't be afraid of what's to come," says Basu, adding: "You can train this perfectly with martial arts." Nevertheless, you still have to be careful and take care of your health, he says. The Gilchinger therefore considers the current measures taken by the state government to be correct.

Dr. Basu wants to keep children and adults fit while exercising

With his new project, Basu would like to help keep children and adults fit to move, despite the initial restrictions. For this purpose, he stands in front of the camera every day from Monday to Saturday, at 5 p.m. for the children, at 6.30 p.m. for the adults. "It is very intense. I get a lot of news that, for example, children come out of their rooms sweaty and feel like they are born again, ”says Basu.

Dr. Basu says: "It's hard outside, but I can feel my strength"

But he wants to promote and mobilize not only the physical, but also the inner forces in this time of crisis. "I want to work with the participants on self-confidence and call up their mental strength," explains the triple father. "I want to convey the feeling that it's hard outside, but I can feel my strength."

Basu wants to make sure that there are no fake profiles on his site.

Dr. Basu can interact with his students via the Internet

The Taekwondo master films his videos live, which means that he can also see the participants on his screen and interact with them. "The majority of the half hour is planned, but in the end there is often a little time for games or suggestions from the participants," says Basu. I have a lot to do with imagination, imagination. So he lets his protégés complete a course run in their minds. "I am surprised how well children can imagine that and move accordingly," says Basu, whose own children are also actively involved in taekwondo sports.
