playfight
for you and your inner child
PLAYFIGHT IS DEEP HUMAN CONNECTION
We live to play!
We play to feel more alive!
Living people can change the world…
How:
Playfight offers you a space to play, just like we played Playfight together as children. We will explore this primal way of relating and being in a way that is mindful and safe, yet raw and authentic. This form of wrestling is an invitation to your individuality. You choose your counterpart yourself. The clear rules and the carefully maintained circle provide security and trust.
This is not a workshop, but an open and informal gathering. Participation is entirely at your own risk. However, a few experienced play fighters will always be present and give tips and guidance if necessary.
Playfight is deep connection, with myself and others
We connect with our primal side, the strength in our bodies and the wisdom in our emotions.
We take care of ourselves, and our limits, expanding them with kindness and fun.
We connect with others, learning to be authentic in relationship with them.
Playfight combines primal fighting, play and mindfulness
Primal fighting to awake the body’s intelligence, using strength in a safe and respectful way.
Play to rediscover ourselves anew. To be less serious and more playful, joyful and alive!
Mindfulness to observe what happens on a deeper level, and to be more authentic.
Playfight is a personal journey and a tribal experience
We gather in Circle, and Playfight in the middle. We bond, we relate and we support each other.
We fight but there are no winners or losers. We use strength but we don’t hurt each other.
We train as heartful warriors and warrioresses to stop violence and develop inner peace.

Boundaries:
You should know your boundaries and communicate them clearly. Be sensitive about the boundaries of other people and respect them.

Risks:
Playfighting involves the risk of physical and emotional damage. Take the risk or don’t playfight.
“Safe space”
We want to minimize those risks. Please keep your eyes open and investigate if need be. Tell others if you experience something bad that you can’t handle or that might affect others.
Safety notes:
– Try to stay on your knees or below that – or be very careful otherwise
– This is no martial arts event. No kicking, bashing or aggressive behavior.
– Be especially careful with sensitive bodyparts like eyes, throat or genitals.
– Be especially aware of the power of your bodyweight, elbows and knees.
– Unless you individually agree to something else: Tapping means “stop”. Any stop-ish verbal or non-verbal communication means “stop”.
– Please remove your jewelry and watches. Remove your shoes and anything (like some belts), that could hurt other people.
– Injuries happen easier when people move fast. Especially at the beginning of each engagement, try to go very slow.
– Moving slowly also provides for more opportunities to interact and be playful – so it even might be more fun!
– Calm down regularly. Connect with yourself and the other person(s) regularly.
– Keep asking yourself: Do I really want to playfight with any particular person? Do I really like to engage in a certain way? If the answer is no: Don’t’ engage. – – Be clear and respectful in your communication of non-engagement.
