Vacation fun program
Self-protection and self-defence (SuS)
Our group SuS has already participated several times in the vacation fun program of the Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen community.
3-hour crash course on 2.9.2021
On 02.09.2022, our self-protection and self-defense group once again participated in the vacation fun program of the Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen community. In the Eggenstein hall, a small but fine group of interested children and young people came together in the afternoon to experience a varied program on the topic of "realistic self-defense" within three hours.After a small warm-up game, the participants first learned to set limits, to demand them and thus soon showed what they are capable of. The first techniques for freeing themselves from grips were added, and the training of certain scenarios such as the way to school or behavior on public transport was not neglected. Finally, the kids had the chance to try out punching and kicking on pads - here our dummy "Charles" had to take quite a beating. In the end, trainers and participants were happy. It is nice to have been able to participate in the vacation fun again this year and we are looking forward to more events to come.
3-hour crash course on 27.8.2021
26 Kids learn playfully the most important things about self-defense
Games, fun and self-defense - the children and young people were able to experience all this at the vacation fun "Self-defense for everyone". All tested, we gathered at 2 p.m. in front of the hall, before it went already a short time later on the mats:
After a few warm-up games, the participants first learned the most important basics of how to defend themselves. According to the trainers, body language, self-confidence and the ability to set and demand boundaries play an important role. In case of an emergency, the kids were then shown how to defend themselves: Even simple tricks as well as so-called "schoolyard techniques" had an astonishingly great effect and generated enthusiasm. Afterwards, the trainers talked in small groups about self-defense, de-escalation and moral courage: What is it actually and what does it mean for us?
Later, the first more advanced techniques were tried. Also the training with claws to practice punches and kicks, with which we defend ourselves in addition to other techniques against attacks, did not come too short. Towards the end of the crash course we acted out some situations. For example, situations on the way to school or on the bus and train were addressed - here the children and young people could immediately try out what they had learned.
Once again, the vacation fun has brought great joy to the participants and to us.
