× Defense Combat Greifswald

Defense Combat Greifswald, led by Jens Kleinschmidt, provides practical self-defense training in Greifswald and Görmin. Drawing on experience in martial arts and combat disciplines including judo, boxing, Shotokan karate, kickboxing, Krav Maga, Chinese boxing and Wing Tsun, Kleinschmidt combines useful techniques with a focus on personal safety. Training emphasizes avoiding danger, escaping when appropriate, de-escalating situations and controlling a confrontation as a last resort.

Courses cover unarmed self-defense and the use of everyday objects or defensive equipment. Topics include threat scenarios, scenario-based practice, falling skills and responses to threats involving weapons. The program includes classes for adults, children and young people, as well as self-defense for girls and women. Mixed group sessions are generally offered, while individual training and programs for companies and public safety organizations are available by arrangement.

Sessions take place at two venues in Greifswald and an outdoor training location in Görmin. A free trial session is available, with monthly rates listed for adults and for children, apprentices and students.
