Teen Class

That is one of the goals of this class. Beyond techniques, we work on posture, voice and gaze that deter trouble, the ability to set a clear boundary and defuse a situation before it escalates. The aim is for them to earn respect without necessarily having to fight.

No. Knowing how to defend yourself usually makes you calmer, not more provocative — there is less need to prove anything. Respect, self-control and discernment are taught alongside technique.

Not at all. WingTsun does not rely on strength or athletic feats, but on timing and body structure. They progress at their own pace, and many teens rediscover the pleasure of a concrete, useful physical activity.

Absolutely. WingTsun was historically developed by and for women, and the class is mixed. Teaching takes into account differences in build and situations teenage girls encounter more often.

Membership starts from 72 CHF/month on a 12- or 24-month commitment — the time needed to build real reflexes. In case of injury or a prolonged absence, a simple email is enough to pause the membership.

The first class is free with no commitment. Your teen takes part actively — it is the best way to see if the atmosphere and teaching suit them.

Most teen classes are at Marziano Dojang, Rue Eugène-Marziano 7, 1227 Geneva (Acacias district). The Vernets swimming-pool car park is a 3-minute walk away. Tram lines 15 and 17 have a stop less than 50 metres from the venue. Some sessions are held at Centre Sportif de Cologny (Salle Passing — accès terrasse), Chemin de la Tulette 8, 1223 Cologny. On-site parking is available. It is free for 2 hours. Exact slots are listed above on this page and on the Schedule page.
