For more safety: New self-defense offer in the community center for Niendorf

From April, the TA WingTsun martial arts school will start trial training for Niendorf children, young people and adults

Hamburg, March 29, 2025: The Bürgerhaus für Niendorf is working with a new cooperation partner to ensure greater safety in the district. Together with the TA WingTsun martial arts school in Hamburg, ongoing self-defense courses for children, young people and adults will be offered from April this year. In this way, the community center is not only offering Niendorf residents another exciting sporting activity, but is also taking a stand against violence and promoting social cohesion in the process.

Expansion of the social offering in Niendorf

For many years, the Bürgerhaus für Niendorf has stood for cultural diversity and the promotion of social activities in the district. In addition to yoga, art exhibitions and regular music events, the topic of safety is now also on the weekly agenda. From April 2025, the numerous offers will be supplemented by ongoing self-defense courses. The TA WingTsun martial arts school in Hamburg offers special classes for children, young people and adults. In future, participants of various age groups in the community center for Niendorf will benefit from a variety of sporting and social aspects in self-defense courses: from the early promotion of motor skills and self-assertion in childhood, to strengthening self-esteem and a sense of community in adolescence, to stress relief in professional life and the joy of learning an Asian martial art. The facets of these new courses in Niendorf are many and varied.

More than just a self-defense course

The martial art TA WingTsun, on which the new offer in Niendorf is based, was originally developed in China by a woman and today, with its intelligent system, ensures that even physically inferior people can defend themselves efficiently in a dangerous situation. Through practical training, participants at the Bürgerhaus für Niendorf are individually trained in theory, technique and application - from verbal de-escalation to defense at any conflict distance. The training is adapted to personal abilities and enables a tailor-made self-defense strategy that works reflexively in an emergency. This practice-oriented approach not only ensures greater safety in everyday life, but also strengthens self-confidence and the ability to remain calm in difficult situations. "We are looking forward to creating an environment in the Bürgerhaus Niendorf where everyone feels welcome, can develop their own potential and gradually go through life with new energy and more confidence," emphasizes Vivien Schlemminger, TA WingTsun instructor, who will lead the self-defence groups at this new TA WingTsun location together with Michael Kos. TA WingTsun martial arts is no stranger to Hamburg. Just last year, NDR television reported on the socially valuable work of the martial arts school with its Hamburg headquarters in Uhlenhorst. Since 2019, numerous members have been training there in age-appropriate groups - enjoying exercise and fitness while dedicating themselves to a martial art in order to fully exploit their potential. In addition, courses are offered at schools, foundations and companies in order to support people there with the knowledge and values of TA WingTsun. This was also recognized by politicians and representatives of public offices at a large celebration of the international martial arts association of TA WingTsun in the Wandsbek sports hall. Dr. Jonas Leder, Director of the State Sports Office, emphasized that TA WingTsun also perfectly supports Hamburg's "Active City" strategy. The offer is now being extended to Hamburg-Niendorf. Michael Kos is looking forward to the start of the course and explains: "With the new location in the community center for Niendorf, we want to further expand our social contribution and give even more people the opportunity to learn this martial art."

From April 9, 2025, the new self-defense courses will start at the Bürgerhaus für Niendorf, which offers optimal conditions for safe and effective training in a friendly atmosphere. The course times are aimed at the following age groups:
