Sports for Children and Teenagers

Our playful concept of movement, rhythm and singing offers younger and older children a varied experience. Cheeky trickery in cunning capoeira or energetic physical contact in Kämpeln: we learn together and laugh along the way. We offer space to develop and express your personality. We train awareness of your own and others’ boundaries and promote bodily self-determination for children, teenagers and adults. In a safe setting, participants can play and tussle while following rules, practising respectful and responsible interaction with one another.

Early Development with Capoeira from Age 3+

Capoeira offers creative space to develop and express your personality. It sweeps you up and ‘enchants’ the moment: two players let their bodies speak with cunning, the music pulses, everything flows together — in trance, in joy, free. An ideal experience for children and teenagers. Movement and cultural education enrich life at every age.

Capoeira is an ideal tool for early motor and musical development. This culturally embedded practice moves between exciting stories, rhythm and singing, and intuitive movement sequences. Young children enjoy the excitement of the capoeira game and the undogmatic freedom of movement.

‘Kämpeln’ — Age-Appropriate Martial Arts from Age 6+

In ‘Kämpeln’, younger and older children can playfully tussle, wrestle and roughhouse together. On the ground or standing, cleverness and strength are used to gain a favourable position. Based on the ‘Rangeln und Raufen’ curriculum, our playful concepts open up spaces for learning about personal strengths and controlled self-assertion. Here, boundaries are experienced and expanded, fears reduced and new experiences gained.

We can test ourselves physically without hitting, while looking after others’ health and wellbeing. In Kämpeln, we learn to accept touch and follow essential rules. With strength, agility and technique, children and teenagers can test themselves, let off steam and learn together with their peers and beyond.
