feedback
(...) The young aspirant with multiple problems showed after a relatively short time as a result of the support of Ms. Mag.a Nachtlberger noted significant positive changes in behavior. What was particularly striking was the young person's "ability to rest in oneself", even in provocative situations. This experience encourages us in our work with adolescents and young adults to include educational or therapy-supporting martial arts mentoring as an optional component of OCTOPUS MENTORING.
“OCTOPUS MENTORING is a measure that offers young people and young adults support in resocialization and integration in the labor market. In our work, we subject both the aspirant and the set action as well as the social environment to a holistic view.
Our aspirants often exhibit personal deficits in behavior and in controlling their responses to change. In 2014, at the invitation of Ms. Mag.a Nachtlberger, we were able to get to know the basic values in the professional educational use of martial arts at the Budo Education Congress in Kirchschlag near Linz. The experience that we gained aroused further interest in me as a mentor, and so I found out from Ms. Mag.a Nachtlberger about possible (pedagogically oriented) applications of KOKORO-DO martial arts mentoring in the course of OCTOPUS MENTORING. A test was started with an aspirant because of his personality structure and his multiple problems. After a relatively short time, the aspirant showed considerable positive changes in behavior as a result of being accompanied by Ms. Mag.a Nachtlberger. What was particularly striking was the young person's "ability to rest in oneself", even in provocative situations. This experience encourages us in our work with adolescents and young adults to include educational or therapy-supporting martial arts mentoring as an optional component of OCTOPUS MENTORING.

After the successful start of the KKM group settings with some of our young people, we gratefully accepted Ms. Nachtlberger's offer at the beginning of the Covid period to also be able to act in a small setting.
Since March, several of our participants, whom we look after for a year with the goal of job readiness, have been attending the KKM offer in individual settings. Ms. Nachtlberger manages to create a trusting environment in a very short time, in which the young people can get involved with what is usually very unusual and new and can try things out with great curiosity. After a short conversation prepared with our coaches, the young people learn in simple (physical) exercises and theoretical inputs, among other things, to feel their bodies, to relax and to focus, but also to promote their concentration and to have more confidence in themselves listen. According to the principle of helping people to help themselves, the participants tell us that they learned exercises to do at home/to imitate in the first unit and have already tried them. Most of them are initially enthusiastic about archery, but also about the calmness and the (loving) way in which Mrs. Nachtlberger treats them. (The Do it team would like to thank you for the professional exchange and the extensive cooperation in 2020 and will be happy to take advantage of the offer next year as a supplement to our program at the request of the participants!)
