Taekwondo career

Hans-Carsten Gauger began practising taekwondo at the age of 18 at the ‘International Sports School’ in Wiesbaden, training under Michael Brenner (*1950) for four years. He competed in his first tournaments at national level in 1989, but not with any notable success at the time. After a break, he resumed training at Heppenheim Gymnastics Club in 2002. [1]

At the age of 45, Gauger returned to the competition scene and went on to achieve success at national and international level in the poomsae discipline. In 2015, he took part in the German Championships for the first time in Wiesbaden, where he won the bronze medal. [2]

At the 2023 European Poomsae Championships in Innsbruck, Gauger won a silver medal in the individual competition for men up to the age of 60, making him Vice European Champion. [3] [4]

Gauger holds a "Trainer C" coaches licence. In 2013, he founded the ‘Taekwondo-Verein Bergstraße Bensheim e.V.’ together with six other founding members. [5] Gauger's students include athletes Pia Hoffmann and Jonas Malik. [6] In 2021, he took over the management of the office of the Hessian Taekwondo Union. [7] [8]
