THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED 

When was the last time YOU Fought for Fun? 

Spend a weekend morning waking up into laughter and life-force. Throw out the how-do-you-do's and explore unconventional ways of really meeting people; whilst benefiting from a great work-out. 
As well as a joyful way to engage the body - Playfighting can be a tool for insight, understanding and transformation - in sense of self, and in relationships. It enables a return to innocence, so that we can explore our strength and sensations together as adults from a place of empowerment. In the ring we can become aware of our subtle competitive strategies, and how they can play-out outside of the workshop arena. Ultimately Playfighting can help us notice blindspots; overcome adversities; make peace; and apply new attitudes as confidence grows.

Celebrate Summer vibes, as we crawl and bump into each other; circle; chase; mimic; outwit, dance; wrestle and generally rumpus... This class will be rooted in basics - with a focus on the important foundations of Playfighting and an emphasis on Connection. We include games, some techniques, physical play, conscious competition and energetic catharsis - with plenty of time to spar in a held Playfighting ring. Open to fitties, fatties, scardey-cats, small-people, & all genders; and always run as container for experimentation at your own level. 

The great thing about Playfighting; alongside the giggles and intensity, is that none of the stakes are real. You can set your own parameters and stop anytime - making it the perfect setup to find the exact conditions where you can explore your own edge. Whether you're in it for the experience of power, surrender, or anything else - you can configure your ideal situation for maximum joy or optimum insight.
