Oshiro Dojo Mannheim
Sensei Alexander Römer was born in March 1980 in the Lutherstadt Wittenberg. At the age of 13 he came into contact with Asian martial arts for the first time and trained Shorai-Do Kempo under Peter Fitzek.
In 1999 he switched to traditional Okinawa Goju-Ryu Karate and trained there under Sensei Gerd Richter until 2001.
After moving to Mannheim in 2001, he joined the "Ronin Mannheim e.V." and started training traditional Shotokan Karate there. In 2004 he met Shihan Oshiro at a seminar through Ulrich Kliemczak and his former trainer Sensei Roberto Romero. Since this meeting he has dedicated himself exclusively to Shima Ha Shorin Ryu Karate and Chinen Yamanni Ryu Bojutsu.
In December 2006, he founded together with Ulrich Kliemczak the association "Uchinadi Mannheim e.V." where since then these two martial arts are trained. In November 2018 he graduated to 3rd Dan in Shima Ha Shorin Ryu Karate under Shihan Oshiro. In May 2023 he passed the examination for 2nd Dan in Yamanni Chinen ryu.
