In this workshop we'll go over some basic, easy to learn and hard-hitting techniques to give you an idea of the empowering and straight-up fun sides of kickboxing. Gear will be provided and you can expect to join in safely whatever your level of fysical fitness. There will be no macho bullshit during and hopefully no more dry T-shirts after the session.

The system covers all possible scenario's where self-defense is needed: from grabs and chokes to punches and kicks. In this workshop we will talk about realistic self-defense. What does it mean and what can you do? This will be a physical workshop, but we will talk a lot too. Everybody is welcome, but leave your inner macho and ego at home.

**FILMS**

161>88 - The movie maps the evolution of the Czech antifascist movement since the late 1980's up to 2011. The footage takes the viewer through the period of the first racist murders in the early 90's, to the protests against the Sládek's Republicans, clashes with racist hooligans and National Resistance, up to the recent anti-Roma demonstrations. The footage is completed with commentaries and memories of both academics and activists.

SAD BUT TRUE - At 16.11. 2009 Ivan "Vanya" Khuturoskoy was shot on the stairs to his apartment by a neo-Nazi. As "Bonecrusher" he was known in Moscow Antifa scene and protected in its role as an anti-fascist Security, punk and hardcore shows in front of Nazi attacks. However, it not only tells about the loss of a friend and comrade, but also gives an insight into the situation of moscow punk underground of the 2000s and the conditions that confronted the anti-fascist movement in Russia. Sad But True is both a film about the struggle for anti-fascism under life-threatening conditions, as well as on the emergence of a militant, political and positive punk subculture in Russia.
