Matteo Tangi Lineage
Playfight is deep connection, with myself and others
We practice to reconnect with our untainted nature, our strength and inner power, learning how to be authentic in relationship with others. We train as a conscious warriors and have fun like children!
Playfight combines conscious fight, play and mindfulness
Conscious fight to awake my 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 we Playfight in the middle. We bond, we relate and we support each other. We fight but there are no winners or losers. We use our strength but we don't hurt each other. We train as heartful warriors and warrioresses to stop with violence and develop peace.

SAFETY
Playfight is a space where we use our strength to relate to one another consciously. Our aim is to provide you with 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 you a trustworthy space of growth.
CIRCLE WISDOM
During a Playfight, you are not alone. There is a whole Circle supporting you.
Around you and your match, the Circle observes, feels, protects, engages and supports you. Playfight builds tribe, companionship, brotherhood, and sisterhood.
PLAY!
To 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.
Growing up life becomes more serious, we forget our innate playfulness and learning become a mind process instead of a full body journey. Playfight reclaims the lightness and foolishness 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 energies in opposing to what you don't like, and instead transform it into something beneficial.
We Playfight with different people, bodies, strategies, and we learn to adapt, 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 often in our daily life we suppress or ignore them. In Playfight we welcome and give space to them. Learning to use them is part of our journey.
We consciously use Anger, Joy, Fear, and Sadness to discover the risks and the potential of each one of them!
3 RITUALS
To bring awareness, respect and connection
1. the Encounter
Connect as conscious warriors
The Playfighters sit facing each other in the middle of the Circle, join their fists and say "Playfight!". The Game begin in which each Playfighter tries to pin back the other as many times as possible in a defined time frame.
2. the Appreciation
Appreciate and honor the other
The Playfighters come back to sit in the middle of the Circle and, facing each other, they hold hands.
One at the time, they share what they appreciated about the other. The Circle witnesses in silence.
3. the Feedbacks
Listen to what the Circle has felt
The Playfighters turn to sit back to back and listen in silence while the people in Circle share what touched them. Not advice or opinions but personal sharings about how they felt during the Encounter.

TESTIMONIALS
Thanks to its unique mix of safety, fun and deep inner work, people who experienced Playfight rated it
5 stars
Discover what they say about it ⇨Stephan, Germany
Since 4 years I practice play fight in different ways and styles and I hold classes in Berlin. Recently I participated to a 7-day Fest+Training with Matteo Tangi and I am still overwhelmed by the authenticity and abyssal connection that I experienced.
After a few days with people I have never seen before, it felt as I would know the other participants for years. There was so much empathy to their beings that often I was touched to tears listen to their hearts and souls. We arrived as strangers and left as a family. I am convinced that if this purpose of
Playfight would be distributed in the world, there would be so much more peace on Earth.
Randall Maarman - South Africa
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 being.
I experienced joy, game, fun and union.
Prem Sergio Tosi, Italy
A wonderful natural game! Common to every mammals... and perhaps common to all beings. 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 preserve us from the to 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, Discovering the "trauma of the other", meaning to feel and welcome the intrusive presence of the other, learning to enter into relationship with it, winning the fear. Recovering ancestral and natural movements that we have almost completely lost.PLAYFIGHT ACADEMY

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 the strength even less, only allowed in martial arts or competitive sports.
A few years ago I decided to reclaim that playfulness, freedom of using my body, my strength and my feelings. From there this lineage 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 would gather in a Playfight Circle reclaiming and enjoying our beautiful human nature.
