This last deep dive workshop in Klingenmühle I joined with my partner and it was a mind blowing experience. To meet strangers in a full physical and performative way through playfight is very special, since we usually meet through words and talking in mainly cognitive forms. I also had deep insights into my relation with my partner and the chance to unleash stuck/new energies. I'm greatful, thank you Matteo!

Eine außergewöhnliche, intensive und berührende Woche! ❤️
Ich habe an der Playfight Immersion und dem ersten Teil des Facilitator Trainings teilgenommen Anfang Oktober 2026 in den Niederlanden teilgenommen und mich von Anfang an von Matteo und Elena sehr herzlich willkommen und als Mensch gesehen gefühlt.
Obwohl ich Playfight schon vorher mochte, war ich selbst überrascht, wie viel Freude mir das Spielen gemacht hat. Gleichzeitig war Raum für ernstere Themen: Wie gehen wir damit um, wenn sex Energie oder Gewalt auftauchen? Oder wie reagieren wir spontan und stellen uns auf eine Gruppe ein? Diese Verbindung aus Tiefe, Verantwortung, Kreativität und Spielfreude fand ich sehr wertvoll.
Auch Methodisch und didaktisch fand ich das Training richtig gut. Mein nicht ganz so gutes Englisch war für mich eine Herausforderung – umso erleichterter war ich, dass ich die Abschlussübung auf Deutsch halten durfte. Auch das vegane Essen und der Verzicht auf schädliche Dinge wie Alkohol, Kaffee und Zucker waren für mich herausfordernd, haben meinem Körper aber sicher gutgetan.
Besonders berührt hat mich die menschliche Wärme und der wohltuende Körperkontakt in der Gruppe. Auch dass Matteo Interesse an meinem Körperintelligenztraining zeigte, hat mich sehr gefreut.
Die Playfight Immersion und das Facilitator Training haben mir nicht nur neue methodische Impulse gegeben, sondern auch mein Vertrauen in meine eigene Wahrnehmung, meine Kreativität und meine Fähigkeit gestärkt, Gruppen achtsam zu begleiten. Ich kann diese Erfahrung allen empfehlen, die Playfight vertiefen, sich persönlich weiterentwickeln und lernen möchten, Räume für authentische Begegnung, Spielfreude und echte Verbindung zu halten.
Eine rundum besondere Erfahrung – ich freue mich schon auf den nächsten Teil! ❤️

Liebe Monika, danke für deine Worte. Es war schön, dich in dieser Woche in den Niederlanden dabei zu haben. Ich weiß, dass das Englisch nicht immer leicht war, umso schöner, dass du deine Abschlussübung auf Deutsch halten konntest. Dein Körperintelligenztraining interessiert mich, lass uns darüber weiterreden. Elena und ich freuen uns auf den nächsten Teil mit dir.

Playfight is so much more than just playfighting. It’s about confrontation, connection, mirroring, and discovering so much about yourself through your body. A beautiful practice where competition meets care, playfulness meets depth, and where so much can unfold without needing words.
I joined both the Immersion and the Facilitator Training in the Netherlands, in a beautiful, peaceful setting, surrounded by nature. We were a small group, which made the experience even more intimate and impactful. I was genuinely touched by how much can happen within a Playfight, both in myself and in the connection with others.
As a beginning facilitator, I couldn’t have wished for a more hands-on training. Matteo guides you through real-life scenarios using roleplay, improvisation and practical exercises. You get to experience what it actually means to hold space, navigate challenging situations and respond with clarity, care and confidence. It’s learning by doing, and that’s exactly what makes it so valuable.
What I also really appreciate is that the journey doesn’t end after the training. With Elena’s guidance over the following months, you feel supported in finding your own way of facilitating and bringing Playfight into your own community.
I fell in love with this practice. The combination of movement, confrontation, vulnerability, playfulness and genuine connection feels incredibly powerful and healing to me.
I would wholeheartedly recommend it, both to anyone curious about exploring themselves through the body and to facilitators looking to bring something beautifully different into their work. I’m excited to share this practice with many more people! ❤️🔥

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful reflection. ❤️🔥 It’s wonderful to hear how deeply you connected with the practice and how much you took from the training.
For me, one of the most beautiful things about Playfight is exactly this: how much we can discover through our bodies and our interactions with others, and how confrontation can become a space for connection, learning and growth.
Looking forward to seeing where this journey takes you and how the practice continues to grow through you!

J’ai participé à un cercle avec Julie Blot et ce fut une belle découverte avec une super facilitation. Bien intimidée au départ, j’y ai trouvé un espace de jeu et d’exploration sécure qui permet d’aller rencontrer aussi bien des zones de vulnérabilité que de puissance, et de remettre en lien des parts de soi qu’on ne fait pas toujours cohabiter. J’ai aimé découvrir que la pratique peut être adaptée à chacun sous plein de formes différentes.
Un espace à la fois profond et ludique, que j’ai très envie de continuer à explorer, qui m’a reconnecté à des espaces intérieurs précieux.
Merci de rendre cela possible.

Una bolla di connessione intima in cui si è liberi di essere sé stessi, di conoscersi e conoscere le altre persone e svilupparsi. Un'esperienza da fare!

Technically my first playfight experience and it was just wonderful! *_*
Such a beautiful Playfight.
eight people, some already familiar with the agreements and basics, so we could keep the introduction light and move into a freer, more intuitive style quite naturally.
I felt very free within the group, following my own impulses and just seeing where they would take me. I really enjoyed the facilitation and the space holding – enough presence to feel held, enough freedom to just play.
What I always find fascinating about process-oriented Playfight is how much your own experience can differ from what someone else witnesses from the outside.
And I actually love that.
Just witnessing it and letting it stand. No need to figure out what was “really” happening.
There is no feedback, there is Feelback. I really like that word.
It means sharing what went into resonance within you rather than telling someone what you think you saw in them. It’s your POV. A kind of mirroring without becoming a detective of someone else’s process.
Because everything is allowed to just be there.
Intense, freeing, playful, alive.
It was really, really nice.
Ho provato una immersion con Matteo ed é stata incredibile, il playfight é una attivitá che si presta a diversi livelli di profonditá ed é stato bellissimo andare sempre piú a fondo nel corso dei giorni. Lui e le facilitatrici sono stati molto bravi a creare una dinamica di gruppo solida che ha permesso a tutti di ascoltarsi e partecipare a tutta l'esperienza con confidenza e sicurezza

Ho conosciuto Playfight grazie a Roberto Pesenti, che facilita a Bergamo.
Dopo due cerchi con lui, mi sono regalato una Immersion al Centro Anidra (posto magnifico) con Matteo Tangi, il fondatore di questa pratica. Sono stato fortunato perché oltre a lui c’erano 4 facilitatrici, che ci facevano da “angeli custodi” e conducevano qualche pratica.
Se non hai mai provato Playfight, ti consiglio di provarlo almeno una volta. Mi sento appena all’inizio del mio percorso, ma questo strumento ha un grado di versatilità altissimo e consente, volendo, di arrivare anche a grandi profondità, così come di esplorare “semplicemente” l’interazione giocosa.
L’aspetto che più mi interessava inizialmente era quello del “gioco” fra adulti (una cosa che troppo raramente ci si concede), e in particolare del gioco della lotta. Mi piace molto la non competitività (non c’è un vincitore). Quello che ho scoperto praticando è che l’obiettivo principale è entrare in connessione con l’altrə, rimanendo in connessione con sé stessə. Trovo questo è molto nutriente.
Non so perché, ma mi immaginavo Matteo un po’ come un guru taciturno; invece, ho trovato una persona estremamente simpatica e umana, giocherellona, ma super centrata e con doti di facilitazione dei gruppi e dei processi di gruppo veramente stellari (e fidatevi che di gruppi ne ho frequentati tanti…). E poi mi piace che è un esploratore: continua a raffinare questo strumento con una dedizione e una cura fuori dal comune.
Potrei andare avanti ancora e ancora, ma spero di aver reso l’idea! Se sei curiosə controlla qui https://www.playfight.org/tribe se c’è qualche facilitatore o facilitatrice nella tua zona e buttati! Male non può fare!

ENGLISH
I was first introduced to Playfight by Roberto Pesenti, who facilitates in Bergamo.
After two circles with him, I treated myself to an Immersion at the Anidra Center (a magnificent place) with Matteo Tangi, the founder of this practice. I was lucky because, in addition to him, there were four facilitators who acted as our “guardian angels” and led some of the sessions.
If you’ve never tried Playfight, I recommend giving it a try at least once. I feel like I’m just at the beginning of my journey, but this tool is incredibly versatile and allows you, if you wish, to delve to great depths, as well as to “simply” explore playful interaction.
What interested me most initially was the idea of “play” among adults (something we allow ourselves far too rarely). I really like the non-competitive aspect (there’s no winner). What I discovered through practice is that the main goal is to connect with the other person while remaining connected to oneself. I find this very nourishing.
I don’t know why, but I imagined Matteo to be a bit like a taciturn guru; instead, I found him to be an extremely likable and down-to-earth person - playful, yet deeply grounded - with truly stellar skills in facilitating groups and group processes (and trust me, I’ve been part of plenty of groups…). I also love that he’s an explorer: he continues to refine this tool with extraordinary dedication and care.
I could go on and on, but I hope I’ve conveyed the idea! If you’re curious, check here https://www.playfight.org/tribe to see if there are any facilitators in your area, and just go for it! It can’t hurt!
Come raccontare a parole tutto quello che passa per il corpo?! Come si descrive un’emozione, una sensazione, un’esperienza che a conti fatti ti trasforma (dentro e fuori) senza la pretesa di farlo? Questo Playfight è stato, per me, come un regalo a sorpresa: poteva essere una schifezza, una grande delusione e invece si è rivelato una pepita d’oro. Forza e tenerezza, contatto e distanza, presenza e sostegno…grande professionalità. Nessuna retorica. Proprio una pepita rara e preziosa
Che cosa ho fatto all'immersion play fight questa estate 2026 e perché ti potrebbe interessare ?
- Ho giocato in gruppo un sacco , come si faceva da bambini
- Ho lottato a terra un sacco, fino a sbucciarmi le ginocchia e farmi qualche lividino
- Ho riso molto più del solito
- Ho fatto una sauna a 90° al mattino presto e poi subito dopo
- Ho fatto il bagno nel fiume sotto una cascata gelida
- Ho chiesto un massaggio alla mia buddy quando ne avevo bisogno e l'ho pure ricevuto
- Mi hanno fatto notare che quando parlo delle mie esperienze uso spesso il tu invece di parlare in prima persona (e ora ci faccio caso)
- Ho imparato a restare un pò più connesso con me stesso e con gli altri, anche quando vengo triggherato
- Ho scoperto un modello potente e semplice di lavorare con le emozioni e usarle a beneficio mio e di tutti grazie agli archetipi
- Ho rivissuto (e fatto rivivere) ad altri dinamiche importanti della vita emotiva personale, per affrontarle nella cornice protetta e curativa del playfight
- In tutto questo ho conosciute tante persone diverse da me, ognuna interessante per qualche aspetto.
- In particolare ho conosciuto un ottimo insegnante e un vero leader, di quelli rari che incarnano con l'esempio i valori che professano. Senza fanatismo, con grande ironia, sempre in equilibrio tra leggerezza giocosa e profondità combattiva.
Sto parlando di Matteo Tangi, aka il Sandokan di Anidra! 😉
Amazing experience - Playfight is an intense experience and Matteo Tangi's method is really complete and caring.
