Weekend Workshop - October 2026
During this workshop, we explore our adaptive learning capacities through the ongoing interplay between how we move, perceive, and interact.
Rooted in Fighting Monkey Practice, the work is not about collecting techniques. It is a continuous research in which participants test ideas, observe and reshape behavioural and thinking patterns, and develop practical tools that support positive long-term adaptations.
The workshop is also part of our Study Cycle, a year-long experimental process focused on movement, creativity, and human adaptability. If this speaks to you, the full year is open to join.
What You Will Be Developing
Receive Feedback
Understand yourself better. How is your body structured, how do you learn, and how do you adapt.
Acquire Practical Tools
Games, practices, and ideas to work on what is needed with enjoyment, without depending on a teacher.
Improve Predictions
Adjust your practice, behaviour, and thinking models to shape a more open, engaging and enjoyable future.
Key Areas of Study
Open Games & Play
Keep playing to stay sharp, mobile, and engaged throughout life.
Rhythm & Coordination
Develop clarity, coherence, and whole-body connectivity rather than constantly “fixing” the body.
Creativity & Agency
Build your own practice. Don’t rely on masters or fixed systems.
Action & Perception
Explore how you make sense of the world through movement.
Movement & Communication
Move and express yourself in ways that allow you to resonate and respond flexibly.
Who It’s For
We value diverse learning environments. Our Study Cycle welcomes anyone willing to examine habits, challenge assumptions, and engage in open exploration... curious movers, artists, dancers, athletes, coaches, therapists, educators, and engineers alike.
If you are drawn to joyful learning, play, discovery, and movement as a way of understanding yourself and the world, this process can offer inspiration, stimulating challenges, and support meaningful change.
