Park Workout and Martial Arts

Das Training beginnt im Gleisdreieck. Hier geht es um Bewegung im öffentlichen Raum, vom Klettern über Balancieren bis zum Treppenlauf. Nach der Einheit im Freien verlagert sich der Fokus in die Neumark-Grundschule. Dort steht Jutaijutsu im Mittelpunkt, eine traditionelle japanische Form der Selbstverteidigung. Die Gruppe ist offen für alle Fitnesslevel und Vorkenntnisse. Der Fokus liegt auf dem gemeinsamen Training in einem queer-freundlichen Umfeld. Für den Außenteil sind Laufschuhe und wetterfeste Kleidung nötig. In der Halle wird barfuß trainiert.

We'll start off the session with a run in Gleisdreieck park that might include scaling some walls, visiting a few sites in the area to explore their opportunities for climbing and balancing, or going up or down stairs in unusual ways. After the outdoors bit, we come back to our gym where we focus on building strength, working as a group, and learning basic martial arts techniques. We are a small, accessible, mixed-gender, queer-friendly group open to anyone, without any prior knowledge or specific degree of fitness required. Our martial art is Jutaijutsu, a traditional Japanese one focused on self-defence. Sounds interesting? We'd love for you to drop by and join us. You'll need running shoes and comfortable workout clothes, including a raincoat or the like for the park if the weather is bad. Once indoors, we train barefoot. The first three Meetups are free of charge. If you'd like to join our group beyond that, we would ask you to join our association, https://yanagi.berlin, a martial arts school based in Berlin. Membership there is 30 EUR/month and you will be able to train three times a week.
