    About the class

    What to expect

    Self-defence for children does not begin with hitting or fighting.
    From age 4
    For children & adults
    Steglitz-Zehlendorf
    Wismarer Str. 42, Berlin
    Free
    Trial class any time, no obligation

    Children first learn to be attentive, to sense their own boundaries and to present themselves with a clear voice and a confident posture.

    Age-appropriate exercises help them recognise uncomfortable situations early, keep their distance, get help and respond appropriately.

    Benefits

    What does self-defence develop?

    The training supports, among other things:

    • Self-confidence and a confident presence
    • Body awareness and coordination
    • Attention and reaction speed
    • Clear communication and setting boundaries
    • Dealing with uncertainty and stress
    • Respectful and responsible behaviour

    Children learn that standing up for themselves does not have to be aggressive. A clear “no” or “stop”, an upright posture and leaving a situation in good time can be important first steps.

    In training

    Self-defence in practice

    Training combines:

    • Posture, voice and eye contact
    • Recognising and setting personal boundaries
    • Managing distance
    • De-escalation and getting help
    • Escaping from simple grips
    • Controlled defensive movements
    • Age-appropriate role play
    • Coordination and reaction exercises

    No self-defence can guarantee complete safety. Training can, however, give children options for acting and a sense of orientation.
