Our Working Areas

Our workshops aim to enhance the capabilities of our martial arts  instructors' network. These workshops focus on specific themes related  to martial arts and combat sports while also emphasizing the effective  use of these disciplines as an educational approach. We strive to teach  young people the values and life skills necessary to foster a culture of  peace and non-violence. 

Our Martial Arts and Life Skills Camps bring together martial arts  instructors and students from both refugee and host communities. Through  this exchange, participants have the opportunity to learn and grow  beyond their own disciplines, gaining insight into various martial arts  philosophies and core values. The camps foster a sense of camaraderie  and shared passion for martial arts and combat sports, providing a  platform for personal development and meaningful connections. 

Chess Boxing is a unique sport that combines physical strength and  mental prowess. Participants engage in alternating rounds of boxing and  chess, requiring rapid shifts between intense physical activity and  cognitive tasks. This dynamic sport enhances problem-solving skills, as  players must anticipate their opponent's moves both in the ring and on  the chessboard. Moreover, Chess Boxing serves as an ideal training  ground for emotion regulation. 

Inclusive Martial Arts strives to foster inclusion and accessibility for  people with disabilities in the world of martial arts. Unfortunately,  individuals with disabilities often face marginalization, exclusion, and  discrimination in physical activities and martial arts practice.  Overcoming barriers in society and within themselves becomes a common  challenge. However, the diverse range of martial arts makes them  especially valuable and accommodating for persons with disabilities. 

Our Women's Self-Defense courses offer highly effective physical tactics  that are easy to learn and require no prior martial arts experience.  Participants are equipped with a toolbox of strategies to avoid and  interrupt assault and gender-based violence. Empowering women with the  ability to choose the appropriate options for their own situations.
