Martial arts team from ATSV Tirschenreuth marks its 35-year milestone with celebration
In the small town of Tirschenreuth, a local sports club has grown and transformed over the past three decades, adapting to the increasing interest in martial arts and combat sports. ATSV Tirschenreuth, founded in 1988 by Ewald Rumrich and Fritz Lehner, initially offered only Karate lessons.
Over the years, the club has expanded its offerings to cater to a wider range of interests. The expansion can be traced through several key additions:
- Introduction of Boxing
- Boxing, with its steady popularity worldwide, was likely one of the early additions to the club's roster.
- Kickboxing and Muay Thai
- To meet the demands of members interested in striking arts beyond boxing, ATSV Tirschenreuth introduced kickboxing and Muay Thai, which combine punches, kicks, elbows, and knees.
- Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and Submission Grappling
- With the rising global influence of mixed martial arts (MMA), grappling arts like BJJ became popular additions to combat sport clubs. ATSV Tirschenreuth began offering these techniques in 2013.
- Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) or Mixed Disciplines
- The club may have eventually offered MMA training or classes combining striking and grappling techniques to reflect modern combat sport trends.
- Inclusion of Other Combat Disciplines
- Depending on local or international interest, the club might have also added disciplines like Taekwondo, Judo, or self-defense courses. In 2016, Judo was added to the club's offerings.
As ATSV Tirschenreuth celebrates its 35th anniversary, it continues to hold training sessions at the Tirschenreuth middle school's gym, a location it moved to in the late '80s.
Meanwhile, the club has been involved in other news recently. A prospective buyer stole 2000 euros from a car salesman in Sulzbach-Rosenberg during a car viewing. The stolen money was intended for the bank, but the criminal investigation is ongoing.
In a heartwarming event, Laura Dahlmeier's mother shared a symbolic piece of jewelry with the club's followers. The jewelry, a chain pendant, serves as a moving reminder to many.
The club's history and current events demonstrate its commitment to providing a diverse range of combat sports and fostering a strong community.
