This class provides you with a varied workout for the whole body. You will work on 3 different pillars for a healthy body: strength, agility and cardio-vascular fitness. This activates the burning of fat, which remains active even after you have set down the actual load. Furthermore, we shall expand on individual elements, such as flexibility and body intuition. There will also be sufficient opportunity for addressing individual wishes with regard to contents/exercises.

Using a wide range of exercises that you will find fun, the course aims to provide effective training that does your body good and extends your physical possibilities.

All you need is sports clothes and maybe a towel.

Please do not forget to bring something to drink with you!

The classes can be combined to achieve a more effective training outcome.

HIIT is a fast and intense full-body workout in which maximum results can be gained within very short periods. We frequently change from highly intensive to chill phases. This interval-based workout concept can take you to the edge of your own abilities using only your own body weight, allowing you to get fit for your daily life in a very short amount of time.

Please note: the mats in the sports hall can only be used with socks – maybe with stoppers – or barefoot! Please bring appropriate clothing.

This trend sport was developed by the French actor and stuntman David Belle and is an exciting mix of acrobatics, athletics and gymnastics. It has been shown in many movie scenes, for example in the James Bond movie “Casino Royale“.

The aim is to get from A to B as fast as possible and to overcome all of the obstacles on the way. Training sessions are based around lots of running and circuit training. Participants will learn the required techniques and continually improve their strength, fitness, and agility, ensuring a significantly improved awareness of their own bodies. No previous experience is required, but you should be aware that it will take time to perfect your abilities and landing and crossing techniques. The course is suitable for beginners and the more advanced.

Is Qigong a sport? A philosophy? Could it give you help, hope and orientation? Or is it only a form of relaxation with an exotic touch, a way to get away from boring everyday life? Combat sport? A form of art? Wellness?

After just a few sessions, Qigong will tell you who you are, where you are from, what your strengths are and which weaknesses you should work on. Qigong’s experience and intelligence will help you with many things: becoming aware of and being honest to yourself; agility, fitness, focussing on yourself and the moment. Qigong invites you to find out more about yourself…

Your everyday life is characterised by sitting for long periods and monotonous movements? You are on the lookout for a way to compensate and keep fit and healthy?

Stretching will help you mobilise shortened and rusty muscles and increase the agility of your whole body.

Every class starts with a warm-up that is followed by some stretching exercises (for example from yoga) at different levels of difficulty. This means that the class is suitable for beginners and the advanced.

Stretching is an independent fitness and mobility workout, but it can also supplement other sports, because it helps you to increase your agility.

And who knows? Maybe you will even manage the splits!

You will learn smooth, graceful and powerful exercises that will move your body and your spine in many different ways. The movements are slow, concentrated and meditative. Breathing is improved, organs are strengthened and inner awareness increases.

The ancient forms of movement that come from early Chinese culture provide human health with power and vitality. They support a healthy lifestyle up until old age.

Harmony, power and motion

Aikido is a Japanese martial art, which was developed from Samurai fighting techniques that are hundreds of years old. It is a self-defence martial art which doesn’t require a lot of muscular strength. For most of the athletes, Aikido is more than just a means of self-defence. Many exercises in regular training are used to develop a good sense of movement and the necessary physical and mental requirements. Aikido teaches you how to exercise using the right breathing and without unnecessary muscular tension. Every training session consists of a short meditation, breathing and stretching exercises, basics, exercises for how to fall over correctly in every direction, and last but not least, the Aikido techniques. (Coach Alexander Kupin)

As this class is organised in collaboration with Greifswald’s Aikido School, the course will also be attended by students from the Aikido School.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (short: BJJ) is a highly effective martial art that is related to Judo. Its specialty lies within ground fighting and joint-locks and chokeholds. Strikes and kicks are not allowed.

The training sessions are structured in warm-up, fitness, technical training and sparring. We move from one phase to the next without any breaks. The sparring sessions provide you with a chance to put what you have learned into practice. You shouldn’t be shy about body contact.

Please note: the mats in the sports hall can only be used with socks – maybe with stoppers – or barefoot! Please bring appropriate clothing.

This class is aimed at all levels – from beginners to experienced boxers – who are interested in this sport and practising it together. The aim is to improve your own boxing abilities and skills, mostly through boxing. A typical training session starts with a boxing-specific warm-up session or a little game. This is followed by three rounds of shadow-boxing and then by boxing training with partners, sparring and focus mitts etc. Then it is time for power and fitness training, e.g. circuit training, rope skipping, medicine ball. The training session ends with a cool down and some relaxation exercises.

This course provides you with the opportunity to learn the martial art of Kung Fu of Shao-Lin-Quan.

In this martial art, we are going to train our awareness for our own body, our mind and our senses. You won’t just learn how to defend yourselves, you will also boost your health and fitness.

The coach teaches basic knowledge of and choreographies that belong to Kung Fu.

Please bring clean shoes (with a non-marking sole) to wear in the sports hall!

Russian martial arts have been tested and refined in wars and conflicts for over 1000 years. RMA concentrates on natural, intuitive movements rather than specific techniques. This makes it easy to learn, getting harder as it goes along: "Easy to learn, hard to master".

Training focuses on three basic elements:

• Breathing as a source of power/strength
• the relaxed state of the body to enable spontaneous reactions
• gaining control over the attacker to take charge of the fight

The class is suitable for beginners and any advanced fighters who are interested, irrespective of age or gender

Important! Please bring comfortable clothes and clean shoes for the sports hall.

In this basic class, I’m going to teach you Ving Tsun Kung Fu (a form of self defence and close combat) that is very effective and economic. As it was developed for real fighting situations and doesn’t depend on complicated and difficult movements. Instead, it tries to solve problematic situations with strategies and techniques that are easy to learn and understand.

Due to good stability and the right use of muscles, this style of fighting gives you a good chance of defeating your opponent, even if they are bigger and stronger. It is suitable for men and women of all ages. Prior knowledge is not necessary.

I’m Jan Korte and I have been learning from Helge Frey in Oldenburg since 2011. Helge Frey works as an independent coach and was trained by Volker Boekhoff, who is one of the most important Ving Tsun coaches in Germany. He also kept in close contact with grandmaster Wong Shun Leung.

We train with shoes on, not barefoot.

Beginners

This class is for everybody who is interested in historical combat sports and requires no background knowledge. Its focus lies on fighting with the long sword that is usually held with two hands. In addition to the secure handling of the practice weapons and the correct posture, the class also teaches relevant techniques from wrestling and dagger fighting. The aim of the class is to teach the combat sport as it was actually practised in former times.

Advanced

This course consolidates the knowledge gained from the beginners’ class and focuses on technical and tactical aspects. It is for anyone who participated in the beginners’ class or who already has knowledge of swordsmanship or other martial arts.

Only sports clothing that is appropriate for the sports hall is required.

(Coach Frank Polenz)

Cricket is the most popular game in England, India and Australia. Nowadays, the interest in cricket is gradually increasing over Europe and several European cricket leagues are taking place regularly. There are several versions of cricket and we will practice the shortest version only.  

Cricket is played with a bat and ball and involves two competing teams. In the field there is a rectangular area in the middle, known as the pitch, that is 20 meters by 3 meters wide. Two sets of three sticks, called wickets, are set in the ground at each end of the pitch. One team starts with batting and the second team bowls first. Depending on the prearranged duration of the match, the object is to score the most runs. The bowlers, delivering the ball with a straight arm, try to hit the wicket with the ball. This is one of several ways that the batsman is dismissed. A bowler delivers six balls at one "over”, then a different bowler delivers 6 balls. The batting side defends its wicket. 

There is two batsman up at a time and the batsman tries to hit the ball away from the wicket and two batsmen run to the opposite wicket. Each time both batsmen can reach the opposite wicket, one run is scored. There is an outside boundary around the cricket field. A ball hit to or beyond the boundary scores four runs if it hits the ground and then reaches the boundary, six runs if it reaches the boundary from the air. The team with the highest number of runs wins a match.

The best way to start your week? Of course football! This morning class is for motivated athletes. After warming up, we will split into 2 teams of 4 persons each and play with rolling substitutes. Clean shoes with a non-marking sole are a must!

This class provides you the opportunity to try juggling out. We will help beginners out with tips, tricks and small workshops that they can use for practising and training. Advanced jugglers could be interested, for example, in passing. We are also happy to respond to your wishes. We provide you with a variety of materials and equipment for you to try out (e.g. balls, clubs, scarves, devil sticks, rings, diabolos).

Jugger is a fast and demanding team sport. The rules are easy to explain: one team consists of 5 players. 4 of them fight against the opponents with padded weapons, known in Germany as ‘Pompfen’. If you have been hit, you have to kneel down for a short while and are not allowed to take part in what is happening on the field. In the meantime, the fifth player, the runner of the team, tries to get the ball (“Jugg”) into the opposing team’s mound (“Mal”).

We want to train, play, and have fun together. This class teaches you the basics. We also prepare for tournaments and anyone attending this class who is interested, is welcome to get involved.

Lacrosse is a physical team sport with a limited field, two goals and clearly defined rules. The players use sticks with a net to carry the ball over the field into the opposing team’s goal. This sport is characterised by a mix of fitness, speed, agility and physical strength.

Whilst in men’s lacrosse the use of your body and stick is not only allowed and expected, women’s lacrosse has much stricter rules, although there is still body and stick contact.

The classes teach the basics (carrying, throwing and catching of the ball), as well as defensive and offensive strategies. Men and women usually train together. Our main objective is for you to enjoy the sport. So register for this class if you would like to try out something new.

This class is organised together with HSG Greifswald’s lacrosse team, which means that players from that team will also take part in the course.

No accident insurance coverage is provided by the University of Greifswald’s Hochschulsport.

To all the keen athletes out there, especially to those who are interested in roll sports and roller hockey: Here’s the chance to improve your skills! We want to build up a roller hockey team and need enthusiastic roller-skaters and hockey players.

Ultimate Frisbee is a team sport with lots of running in which 2 opposing teams with 7 (grass) or 5 (beach, sports hall) players both try to catch the frisbee in the opposing end zone. The most important thing in Ultimate Frisbee is the “spirit of the game”: fairness and respect are considered to be the most important things. Ultimate Frisbee is a non-contact sport with no referees (except for games as part of the World Championships). Therefore, every player is responsible for observing the rules. Coordination and smartness are very important when playing Ultimate Frisbee, therefore women are in no way inferior to men. All you need is to enjoy running, throwing and catching.

Where exactly in the Volksstadion? We play on the middle artificial grass pitch. The easiest way to get there is through the turnstiles in the Pappelallee. The sports field we play on is right behind the basketball court.

Advanced players (F1):

Goal: learn new tactics

Requirements: basic knowledge/volleyball techniques

suitable for: players who (have) regularly play(ed) volleyball (for example in a club)

The class is suitable for both beginners and returners. The basics of classical ballet will be taught in different exercises on the barre and in the room. The course continuously works on posture, coordination skills and dance expression.

Contact improvisation is a contemporary form of dancing that is not based on a predetermined choreography, nor on set figures. The dancers can move freely in different constellations, for example in pairs, trios or alone. They come into contact with one another, lay off weight, share extra weight, allow for a changing lead and find a way to express their relationship through dancing. Elements like lifting, supporting, falling, jumping and rolling are used.

How are these spontaneous movements possible? Improvisation is an important part of this kind of dance and is practised through various sequences. Furthermore, you will also be taught the technical basics of contact improvisation, as well as anatomical and physical aspects that are important for dancing.

This class is suitable for anyone who enjoys moving and experimenting.

You dance without shoes.

Contemporary dance is a modern form of dancing that focuses on emotions.

The training session starts with a warm-up and is followed by power training to make sure the body is continually strengthened and prepared for the dance movements that follow. The participants then practise technical elements, such as jumps and twists, and a choreography will be rehearsed. Trust and improvisation exercises help to forget the daily stress, to gain awareness of your body’s movements and thus give your dancing more freedom and expression. In the final cool-down, you stretch your body  that can now recover from the previous exercises.

The beginner class is suitable for everyone who is open to new things. If you already have some dancing experience, you can also take part in the advanced class to expand these skills and your experience.

Hello everybody!

I’m looking forward to diving into the world of dancing with you, enabling you to improve your knowledge of your own body and test out your limits.

Some experience of dancing would be very helpful for the course (not necessarily experience in jazz dance), for example techniques from ballet, because we will train some techniques from this area.

I divide my classes into warm-up, fitness, technique, choreography and stretching.

All you need to bring with you is enthusiasm for movement and dancing!

Looking forward to seeing you in class! Lea (Coach)
