About this project

MS from Turtles Gym e.V. is responsible for this project
The Turtles Gym is a place where people practice combat sports in solidarity and make progress together. We understand our work to be sensitive to discrimination. We speak out against all forms of oppression and stand for openness, tolerance and justice.

At Turtles Gym, people train together in solidarity and respect. We practice combat sports, focussing on cooperation rather than competition. We also make room for political education.

Countering the commercial exploitation of public spaces, the trainers work free of charge. Our doors are open to people regardless of background, gender or (financial) means. Training and trying things together is a starting point for political learning. It is important to us to create a meeting place that is as accessible as possible. People with a history of fleeing their home can take part in the training sessions free of charge, additionally the monthly fee can be adjusted according to financial means. We try to counteract structures of discrimination and want to use our work to bring people together and enable moments of self-empowerment.
