I have made Dieter Knuettel redirect to Dieter Knüttel as well.
Dieter Knüttel (1960 - ) is a German (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German) practitioner of the Filipino martial art (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filipino_martial_art) of Modern Arnis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Arnis). He began his study of the martial arts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_art) in 1967 with Judo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judo). He would go on to study Karate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karate), Kung Fu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fu), and Tai Chi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tai_Chi). In 1978 he began to learn Arnis from Jackson Cui Brocka, a student of Remy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remy_Presas) and Ernesto Presas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernesto_Presas) of Manila (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manila). He earned his black belt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_belt) in the art in 1981. He would study with many senior Modern Arnis instructors from the [[Philippines], including, eventually, the three Presas brothers themselves.
Throughout the 1908s he focused on Modern Arnis as taught by Ernesto Presas (now called Kombatan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kombatan)). In 1994 he met Remy Presas, the founder of Modern Arnis, whom he regularly brought to Germany to teach seminars. In 1996 Remy Presas awarded him the rank (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_rank) of 6th Dan in Modern Arnis and the title of Datu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datu). In 2003 the “Council of Elders of Modern Arnis” in Manila, consisting of the highest Modern Arnis masters in the Philippines, promoted him to the rank of 7th Dan in Modern Arnis. He has also received the titles of “Senior Master of Modern Arnis” as well as “Master of Classical Arnis” from Rene Tongson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rene_Tongson).
Since 1985, Dieter Knüttel has been the chief instructor of the German Modern Arnis Association (DAV), since 1985. (The DAV is the largest independent Filipino Martial Arts association in Europe.) He travels extensively in Europe, to the USA, and to Australia to teach Modern Arnis seminars, both for the general public and for military and police units. He has been featured on several covers of German martial arts magazines and has demonstrated Modern Arnis on TV several times.
His most senior student is Hans Karrer, who is a 6th Dan in Modern Arnis. Together with Alfred Plath he organized the 1st and 2nd Filipino Martial Arts Festival in Germany. The second attracted more than 600 participants--the largest Filipino martial arts seminar ever, worldwide.
In addition to teaching Modern Arnis, he has also gained recognition for his martial arts instructional videos and DVDs, produced by his company ABANICO (founded in 1989 and named for a certain Filipino martial arts strike). The company has produced videos and DVDs by practitioners of a variety of Filipino martial arts.
In 1988 he graduated from the German Sports University with the Master of Arts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Arts) degree in sports science.
Some questions that could lead to filling out the entry (none are necessary):
-City of birth?
-Personal data: Family members, previous occupations, military service, current city of residence?
-Is German Sports University the proper name of the school, or merely a description of it? Is there a B.A.-level degree preceding the M.A.?
-Links to web pages such as the DAV and a personal home page for D.K.?
-Is there a web reference for the Council of Elders? Are the titles from Rene Tongson properly titles or styles?
I can dig up the DAV link. Again, it isn't necessary to have any of these; all are optional.
