Over 300 men are accommodated in a large\ngym, one of around 10 emergency shelters for refugees in Nippes, my\nneighbourhood of Cologne.&nbsp; The gym, as\nprobably most sports halls for refugees, is the worst of all: hardly any space\nbetween the camp beds, bad food, dirty bathrooms. My organisation, \u201c<em>Welcome to Nippes<\/em>\u201c, offers legal advice\nand all kinds of other useful information. We worry about the gym\u2019s\ninhabitants, who visibly suffer from lack of privacy, noise, fighting,\nsleeplessness, sickness, and even suicide attempts. I decide to visit them\nseveral times a week just to hang out with anyone who feels like talking. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter has-medium-font-size\" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_paragraph\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">One of them is Thaer, a 30-year old guy from Damascus.\nCalm, even-tempered, and with smiley eyes. His wife and two small children are\nstill in Syria. Completely without pathos, he tells me that he is a multi-time\nnational champion and black belt in karate. A Syrian karate champion in my\nneighbourhood in horrible living conditions. That gets me hooked. I do some\nresearch and I find a karate club nearby. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter wp-block-image\" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_image\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"607\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greens-efa.eu\/dossier\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Thaer-Jafar.jpeg\" alt=\"Thaer Jafar wearing his kimono\" class=\"wp-image-7955\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greens-efa.eu\/dossier\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Thaer-Jafar.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/www.greens-efa.eu\/dossier\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Thaer-Jafar-237x300.jpeg 237w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption>Thaer Jafar wearing his kimono<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:10px; background:transparent; display:block;\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter has-medium-font-size\" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_paragraph\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A few days later, we are invited to meet with the board members and Thaer can join their karate training. No karate outfit, not one word of German. At the club, everyone is very friendly and a bit excited. Thaer is handed a far-too-big karate suit. Directly afterwards, he is confronted with a massive cultural challenge: women and men share the same locker room. He looks over to me, then shrugs his shoulders as if telling himself that he has mastered other challenges, and he disappears into the locker room. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px; background:transparent; display:block;\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter has-text-color has-greens-orange-color\" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_paragraph\">\n<p style=\"font-size:27px;text-align:center\" class=\"has-text-color has-greens-orange-color\"><em>In the hall, it\u2019s instantly clear that Thaer fits\nperfectly into the team. How relieving it must be for him to be understood, for\nonce, without words. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px; background:transparent; display:block;\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter has-medium-font-size\" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_paragraph\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I didn\u2019t stay until the end of the practice.

They\ncollected money to pay for his membership, and a karate suit that fit\nperfectly. In 2017, the German Karate Association confirmed his Kyu grade, the\nhighest karate class. In 2018, Thaer and his clubmates traveled to the German\nnational championships. Thaer reached the third rank. Since then, he has been\nsuccessful in almost every local and national championship. Thaer says he loves\nfighting for his small Nippes club and dedicates every victory to them. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px; background:transparent; display:block;\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter has-text-color has-greens-orange-color\" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_paragraph\">\n<p style=\"font-size:27px;text-align:center\" class=\"has-text-color has-greens-orange-color\"><em>Welcoming culture is more than handing out food and\nclothes.
