• Kids need agression to avoid Violence

  • 4 out of 5 adults react to kids' intensity by suppressing it.

    Kids who've been judged for being too aggressive and never been taught to use their strength well don’t stop and that’s a seed of violence.

    But wrestling, rough-and-tumble and physical play help children explore strength, impulses, boundaries and what they want.

    Our mission is instead of simply stopping aggression to give children a safe space to explore it and empower them to transform their aggressive side into the determination they will need as adults.

  • THE BENEFITS

    Matteo Tangi

    Learn to stay connected

    Playfight lets children wrestle, resist and get physical — while discovering how to navigate intensity without hurting each other or losing connection.

    Simon Charen

    Structure creates safty

    Clear agreements, consent, rituals and adaptable structures allow every child to participate at their own pace.

    Alice Muehlroth

    Movement becomes learning

    Through physical interaction, children practice self-regulation, empathy, communication and resilience — turning social learning into something they can experience with their whole body.

  • Kids learn…

    • … to be aggressive in a non violent way
    • … to make an invitation and welcome a no
    • … to be winners even when they lose
