Fight clubs are spaces of reappropriation. Through self-defense, wrestling, and play fighting, we not only reclaim but also retake our voices, bodies, and emotions that belong to us but from which we have been dispossessed.
​
Fight Club can help you:
  • Discover your physicality and strength.
  • Understand your limits and ensure they are respected.
  • Practice saying no firmly, and asking for help.
  • Recognize and recycle stress and tensions into self-empowerment and courage.​

method

At the beginning of each session, we practice gaze-fighting to make our gaze stronger and deeper, dare to watch straight and not lower our eyes. Following self defense and playful fighting exercises in pair, we discover and challenge our strength, develop self-confidence, increase our physical and mental resistance. We finish each class with creative and empowering battles.

Unlike rule-based sports or technique-focused dance styles, this inclusive method is built on everyday movements such as pushing, pulling, lifting, and reaching. It is adapted to every type of body and doesn't require any prior experience or specific knowledge. However, please note that it can be physically intense and tiring. If you are currently injured or experiencing illness, we kindly suggest considering participation at a later time when you are fully able to enjoy the experience.

together stronger

"My Fight Clubs are soft spaces of care and empowerment, where through the practice of playful fighting and wrestling, we liberate our body and voice, discover our power and challenge our strength, and develop self-confidence and resistance. Against the intimidating and objectifying male gaze used as an instrument of oppression, we regularly do eye-gazing exercises, and learn how to confront it instead of looking away. We reinforce our eyes as a muscle, and rehearse to gaze back proudly again, again, and again. Making our eye muscles stronger and stronger, we gaze back day after day with a little bit more confidence, and a little bit less of fear."
