About Playfight

Playfight is a Serious Game! You’ll have meaningful fun
while discovering more about yourself.

Whether you’re here to meet new people, enjoy playful movement, or to explore self-discovery: you are welcome. Playfight invites you to be present, connected, authentic and free from everyday masks. It’s a trauma-informed space to unwind, form real connections, express yourself freely, and reclaim the playful energy often lost in adulthood. Here, you reconnect with your safe power and embrace the wild, primal energy within you.

More than play: a unique tool for your personal development

Under the surface of play and movement, Playfight becomes a mirror of life’s patterns. It reveals how we relate to power, vulnerability, boundaries, and trust. Through physical engagement, we access parts of ourselves that words can’t reach – our inner child, our protector, our fear, our fire.
Playfight is a powerful practice to rewire your patterns and learn skills that you can transfer to your daily life. Your emotions are welcomed and used consciously, not judged. Conflict is explored, not avoided. Through conscious fighting, you remember that strength and sensibility are allies. We learn to stand our ground while staying open.

Why Playfight Works

In a world that often feels isolating and too serious, Playfight brings you back to the innocent act of playing together. During play, your nervous system becomes awake, open, and ready to learn. Non-violent fighting invites you out of your comfort zone – into the sweet spot where growth happens. You learn to feel and voice your needs, set boundaries in real time, and face difficulties with focus and confidence, instead of reacting on autopilot. Playfight gives you the possibility to practice and improve Emotional Intelligence in action. And by sharing this journey with others, connection deepens naturally.

Normalizing Touch & Making Physical Contact Safe Again

In many Western cultures, touch is rare outside close relationships or specific situations. Some of us even grew up without safe, affectionate touch – or learned to associate physical contact with danger and violence. As a result, we rely mostly on words and have forgotten how to connect through consensual, caring contact. Playfight brings touch back as a natural, innocent way to connect, feel safe, and communicate – always with respect and consent.

A Safer and Respectful Space

Our Playfight style is not about sensuality, sexuality or romance. Our Playfight experience involves movement and touch, but in a safer and respectful way. We focus on trust and consent, creating an environment where it’s okay to test each other’s boundaries – while still feeling supported. We strive to welcome and include everyone as they are, regardless of personal background, gender, age or experience.

My Story

Hi, I’m Marco, originally from Italy, now based in Vienna, Austria.

For almost a decade, I managed teams in the international media industry. I know what pressure, stress, and disconnection feel like. I believed: “I have no feelings”. Later I believed: “My feelings are too much”! Everything changed when I stopped seeing emotions as a problem: I learned to feel them in my body, and use them intentionally. That’s the biggest gift I found in Playfight. Now I help others do the same – especially with uncomfortable emotions: anger, sadness, fear. Today, I’m also a Systemic & Integral Coach (Lebens- und Sozialberater in training under supervision), and a Haka teacher trained by Māori cultural ambassador Matiu Te Huki. With presence, clarity, and honesty – I’m ready to meet you.

Why do I love Playfight?

My body needs to move so my mind can stay present. Playfight it’s physical and safe. Real. Alive. Empowering. It’s a creative way to explore myself through movement and contact. A space where all of me is welcome. Where my feelings are not “too much,” but become a powerful source of energy. That’s why Playfight works for me and I’ve become a Playfight Facilitator certified by Matteo Tangi.
