      Matteo Tangi Lineage

    • Playfight is deep connection, with myself and others

      We connect with our primal side, the strength in our bodies and the wisdom in our emotions.

      We take care of ourselves, and our limits, expanding them with kindness and fun.

      We connect with others, learning to be authentic in relationship with them.

       

      Playfight combines primal fighting, play and mindfulness

      Primal fighting to awake the body's intelligence, using strength in a safe and respectful way.

      Play to rediscover ourselves anew. To be less serious and more playful, joyful and alive!

      Mindfulness to observe what happens on a deeper level, and to be more authentic.

       

      Playfight is a personal journey and a tribal experience

      We gather in Circle, and Playfight in the middle. We bond, we relate and we support each other.

      We fight but there are no winners or losers. We use strength but we don't hurt each other.

      We train as heartful warriors and warrioresses to stop violence and develop inner peace.

      SAFETY

      Playfight is a space where we use our strength to relate to one another consciously. Our aim is to provide a safe space where you can express yourself authentically.

       

      Safety is both physical and emotional. We welcome and honor the feelings of every participant. Each Facilitator is trained to offer a trustworthy space of growth.

      CIRCLE WISDOM

      During a Playfight, you are not alone. There is a whole Circle supporting you.

       

      Around you the Circle observes, feels, protects, engages and supports you. Playfight develops the spirit of tribe, companionship, brotherhood and sisterhood.

       

      PLAY!

      Play is the base of growth and learning. Kids do it all the time! They use their bodies, strength, creativity and feelings to connect; getting to know each other and themselves.

       

      Life becomes more serious growing up, we forget our innate playfulness and learning becomes a mind process instead of a full body journey. Playfight reclaims the lightness and foolishness in order to express our inner child!

      INNER WARRIORS

      In a Playfight we don't see the other as an enemy or an opponent. We see an ally and together we train our inner power.

      We learn to stop wasting time and energy in fighting against something, and instead we focus on fighting for what we long for.

       

      We Playfight with different people, bodies, strategies, and we learn to adapt and react fluidly, be centered and move through the challenges on the way!

      EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

      Emotions are capable of moving mountains or freezing an instant and we often suppress or ignore them in our daily life.

      In Playfight we welcome and give space to them, learning to express them consciously.

       

      We consciously use Anger, Joy, Fear, and Sadness to discover the risks and the potential of each one!

      Stephan J, Germany

      Since 4 years I have been practicing playfight in different ways and styles and I also hold classes in Berlin. Recently I participated in a 7-day Playfight event with Matteo Tangi and I am still overwhelmed by the authenticity and colossal connection that I experienced.

       

      After a few days with people I never met before, it felt as if I knew the other participants for years. There was so much empathy to their beings that often I was touched to tears listening to their hearts and souls. We arrived as strangers and left as a family. I am convinced that if this lineage of

      Playfight was distributed in the world, there would be so much more peace on Earth.

      Randall Maarman - South Afric

      Playfight is an amazing experience! It is a Great team building tool: the community police forum in Nelson Mandela bay and IProtectMe team participated in an introduction class. It was an eye opener for all of us. Thank you for bringing this to South Africa!

      Ambra Anja, Italy

      Playfight is a journey within relationships and emotions. Through this experience I met humble warriors, wounded sisters and all other wonderful shades of human beings.

      I experienced joy, play, fun and union.

      Prem Sergio Tosi, Italy

      A wonderful natural game! Common to every mammal... and perhaps common to every being. A game that can put us in touch with our most joyful animal nature, our human love and our divine conscious presence. Yes! Joyfully recommended!

      Giuseppe Valenti, Italy

      Playfight awakens and activates the system of healing. I would say that thanks to this it is able to keep active and healthy some systems that we use little, and to preserve us from the diseases of civilization. It also puts us in touch with our fears, with our center, and shows us aspects of us that we don't know or have explored little.

      Marco Diadoro, Italy

      I have been practicing fight in sports for 2.5 years and I immediately understood the enormous importance that Playfight could have in people's lives.

      It brings three immediate benefits:

      Becoming aware of your strength, your body and your potential. Feeling and welcoming the presence of the other, learning to enter into a relationship with it and overcoming the fear of it. Recovering ancestral and natural movements that we have almost completely lost.

    • THE INITIATOR

      Matteo Tangi

      I'm Matteo Tangi and my love for Playfight began when I was a kid. At the beach, on the grass, me and my friends would play fight for hours, having so much fun, feeling ecstatic and connected to one another.

      Growing up something changed. Being physical and close was not common anymore, using our strength even less, it seemed it was only allowed in martial arts or competitive sports.

      Matteo Tangi, Playfight, www.playfight.org

      A few years ago I decided to reclaim that playfulness and freedom of using my body, my strength and my emotions. From there this lineage of Playfight was born.

      Since then this is my regular practice, a way to meet myself and others with respect, honesty and care. A way to use my body and my strength to its fullest, being super aware of each movement, each breath, each touch.

      Nowadays I passionately share this art with people, empowering them to facilitate their circles and creating together an international network to support and develop Playfight.

      My dream is that in each city of the world people will gather in Playfight Circle reclaiming and enjoying our beautiful human nature.
