(Translated by Google) Teaching martial arts is the specialty of the Martial Arts Team Hannover. The owner and head trainer of the sports school, Ralf Nosko, also regularly offers self-assertion and self-defense courses, which are not only of interest to women or martial arts enthusiasts. At the beginning of March I attended such a self-assertion course out of curiosity. The aim of the workshop was to sensitize the participants to critical everyday situations, to give them more security in dealing with violent situations in everyday life and to show strategies for avoiding violence. Perceptions of oneself and others, (self-)confident appearance as well as de-escalating behavior were illustrated in simple exercises. Of course, the repertoire also included practical exercises for self-protection and self-defence. Tricky scenes were reenacted with volunteers. I personally liked Ralf's workshop. I can only warmly recommend him. (Original) Das unterrichten von Kampfkünsten ist die Spezialität des Martial Arts Team Hannover. Der Inhaber und Cheftrainer der Sportschule Ralf Nosko bietet aber auch regelmäßig Selbstbehauptungs- und Selbstverteidigungskurse an, die nicht nur für Frauen oder Kampfkunstbegeisterte interessant sind. Anfang März habe ich einen solchen Selbstbehauptungskurs aus Neugierde besucht. Ziel des Workshops war, die Teilnehmer für kritische Alltagssituationen zu sensibilisieren, ihnen mehr Sicherheit im Umgang mit gewaltbezogenen Situationen im Alltag zu geben und Strategien zur Vermeidung von Gewalt aufzuzeigen. Eigen- und Fremdwahrnehmung, (selbst-) sicheres Auftreten wie auch deeskalierende Verhaltensweisen wurden in einfachen Übungen veranschaulicht. Mit zum Repertoire gehörten natürlich auch praktische Übungen zum Selbstschutz und zur Selbstverteidigung. Knifflige Szenen wurden mit Freiwilligen nachgestellt. Mir persönlich hat der Workshop bei Ralf gefallen. Ich kann ihn nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

I took a self-defense course for women at the MAT Hannover and am now recommending it to my friends! The course leader Ralf Nosko responded very well and individually to all participants. In addition to techniques for self-protection and self-defense, the course also covered communication and self-assertion in difficult situations. Many thanks to Ralf and his team!

The MAT Hannover convinced me in many ways. On the one hand, the humane, well-trained and understanding team, and on the other hand, the well-complementary offerings. I don't regret being able to train here for a second, as the combat students are carefully selected and always treat each other with respect. As long as I practice martial arts, I will remain a student of this school.

Back then, I went to MAT Hannover without any knowledge of martial arts and felt extremely well looked after and looked after during my first training session. The atmosphere there is one of respect and definitely very open to newcomers. Highly Recommended!

(Translated by Google) If you want to learn and practice martial arts at a high level and on a humanly demanding level, then MAT Hannover is the right place for you. Not only that Ralf Nosko, the head coach and head of the studio, is looking for his peers in the technical field, no, he is also exceptional as a human being. My initial fears of encountering an aggressive racquet turned out to be completely unfounded. Contrary to what I expected, a friendly and funny Ralf welcomed me to rob me of my prejudices. The sport is great in this atmosphere, because Ralf chooses his customers according to exactly these criteria. Not according to monetary possibilities, but according to humanity. His "students" are also great characters and one is proud to be part of this community. The MAT itself is quaint. A real place for sports. Nothing else to say. Just go there and make up your own mind. (Original) Wer Kampfsport auf einem hohen Level und einem menschlich anspruchsvollen Niveau erlernen und ausüben möchte, der ist im MAT Hannover genau richtig. Nicht nur, dass Ralf Nosko, der Headcoach und Leiter des Studios im fachlichen Bereich seines Gleichen sucht, nein, er ist auch menschlich aussergewöhnlich. Meine ersten Befürchtungen einen aggressiven Schläger anzutreffen stellte sich als vollkommen unbegründet heraus. Anders als erwartet empfing mich ein freundlicher und witziger Ralf um mich meiner Vorurteile zu berauben. Der Sport ist großartig in dieser Atmosphäre, denn Ralf wählt seine Kunden nach genau diesen Kriterien aus. Nicht nach monitären Möglichkeiten, sondern nach menschlichkeit. So sind auch seine "Schüler" großartige Charaktere und man ist stolz, ein Teil dieser Gemeinschaft sein zu dürfen. Das MAT selbst ist urig. Ein echter Ort für Sport. Mehr kann man dazu nicht sagen. Einfach hingehen und sich sein eigenes Bild machen.

If you want to train in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, this is the right place for you: the teaching here is approachable and open and there is a respectful atmosphere in which everyone (regardless of their origin, religion, sexuality or gender) should feel at home given the highest value. And above all: if you want to learn to fight in a well-founded and real way, you can't ignore the MAT. I can't imagine a better gym...

Best trainers & well-equipped gym. Have fun every week!

(Translated by Google) Simply put: top coach with great training colleagues. Who wants to learn martial arts or self-defense, is just right. (Original) Einfach gesagt : Top Trainer mit super Trainingskollegen. Wer Kampfsport bzw. Selbstverteidigung lernen will, ist hier genau richtig.

(Translated by Google) I took part in the MAT self-defense course for 6 weeks and thought it was great. Tanja and Ralf guide you through very realistic, critical situations that you can quickly get into in everyday life. What I really liked was that it's not just about hand movements, but also about mindfulness and self-confidence. The aim is not to flatten the opponent, but rather to avoid getting into critical situations in the first place or to recognize and leave them quickly. They show you how to use your body's own weapons effectively. You can tell immediately that the two trainers, Tanja and Ralf, are passionate about what they do and that it is important to them to give the participants something that makes them a little bit safer. I really learned a lot here. (Original) Ich habe im MAT den Selbstverteidigungskurs über 6 Wochen mitgemacht und fand ihn super. Tanja und Ralf führen einen hier super durch sehr realitätsnahe, kritische Situationen in die man im Alltag schnell mal gelangen kann. Was mir sehr gut gefallen hat war, dass es nicht nur um Handgriffe geht sondern auch um Achtsamkeit und Selbstbewusstsein. Ziel ist es nicht, den Gegner platt zu machen, sondern gar nicht erst in kritische Situationen zu kommen bzw. diese schnell zu erkennen und zu verlassen. Dabei zeigen sie einem, wie man seine körpereigenen Waffen effektiv einsetzen kann. Man merkt sofort, dass die beiden Trainer Tanja und Ralf mit ganz viel Leidenschaft dabei sind und es ihnen wichtig ist, den Teilnehmern etwas mitzugeben, was sie ein Stück sicherer macht. Ich habe hier wirklich sehr viel gelernt.

(Translated by Google) I've been at MAT-Hannover since I was 18 and another sports school would feel like a betrayal xD. Ralf Nosko is simply a top trainer and an expert in self-protection, in self-defence, in martial arts in general and above all in interpersonal relationships. However, much more important than his know-how in these areas is the absolutely strong and breathtaking character of this man as well as the training atmosphere in the gym. Yes, I know, that sounds in love and that's a good thing hahaa. Greetings to Ralf, Tanja and all members! (Original) Ich bin beim MAT-Hannover seit meinem 18ten Lebensjahr und eine andere Sportschule würde sich wie Verrat anfühlen xD. Ralf Nosko ist einfach ein Top-Trainer und Experte im Selbstschutz, in der Selbstverteidigung, dem Kampfsport allgemein und vorallem zwischenmenschlich. Viel wichtiger allerdings als sein Know How in diesen Bereichen ist der absolut starke und atemberaubende Charkter dieses Mannes sowie die Trainingsatmosphäre im Gym. Ja ich weiß, das klingt verliebt und das ist auch gut so hahaa. Viele Grüße an Ralf, Tanja und alle Mitgleider!

(Translated by Google) Very familiar and friendly atmosphere. (Original) Sehr familiäre und freundliche Atmosphäre.

(Translated by Google) Great gym, great people, great trainers. My second home here in Hanover 😂😍🤙 (Original) Super Gym, tolle Leute, top Trainer. Mein zweites Zuhause hier in Hannover 😂😍🤙

(Translated by Google) Top martial arts school with a perfectly trained team of trainers. There is something for every age group and sport level. You feel warmly welcomed from the first moment. (Original) Top Kampfsportschule mit einem perfekt ausgebildeten Trainerteam. Für jede Altersgruppe und jedes Sportlevel ist etwas dabei. Man fühlt sich vom ersten Moment an herzlichst aufgenommen.

Geiler Trainier, viele nette Leute, allerdings leider sehr teuer, nur eine Stunde Training und ein Schlägertyp vermiest einem dad Training und vorallem das Sparring. So rate ich lieber zum Ihme Zentrum und da zu trainieren !

The MAT Hannover is a martial arts gym with really good trainers who give high quality training. The good training atmosphere comes from the good spirit. This means that your own ego stays in front of the mat. This prevents injuries and keeps the fun in training at a high level. This comes from both the trainers and the participants. I can personally say that I learned a lot at the MAT Hannover and will continue to learn a lot.

MAT is a very professionally run gym for self-defense and martial arts. I felt very comfortable here from the start, which is due to the always pleasant, friendly atmosphere, the competence of the coaching team and the very well-equipped training rooms. The personal support from the high-quality team of trainers is always comprehensive. The coaching team ensures that the exercises are carried out correctly in every situation. There is also a special weight room so that physical fitness can be trained in addition to self-defense and martial arts. Self-defense and self-assertion training is particularly recommended for women! I can recommend MAT - Martial Arts Team Hannover to everyone without reservation and would like to take this opportunity to thank the very committed team of trainers. DM

I've only been here for a short time. Great trainer and lots of fun! I can only recommend the possibility of a trial training session to anyone interested. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to every training session!

Great atmosphere, great trainer and members! There is definitely both a fun factor and a learning effect! Even as a beginner you don't need to be shy, you'll be accepted straight into the team.

Super nice, highly competent trainers and great atmosphere, highly recommended! I've been a member for years and is definitely one of the best addresses for self-protection in Germany 👍
