RBB24 reports on the increase in the number of members in martial arts clubs in Brandenburg and Berlin, especially in boxing and kickboxing.

The increase in interest in martial arts has accepted considerable dimensions in recent years. In Brandenburg an der Havel, the amateur boxing association BSC Süd 05 under the direction of coach Dirk Wuttke has now reached a number of 120 after it was still 60 three years ago. This shows an overarching development in the martial arts area, where, according to the State Sports Association Brandenburg, the number of members when boxing and kickboxing are almost twice as high as in 2015. This increase runs throughout Germany; The State Sportsbund Berlin reported that the members of the martial arts rose from 20,500 in 2014 to 25,500 in 2024.

motivation of the athletes

Young people, such as 16-year-old Jeremy Ring, use boxing training not only for sporting activities, but also to strengthen their self-confidence and to improve their security in everyday life. Jeremy, who was previously involved in school conflicts, now has the feeling that I feel better: "I feel safer because I know that I would not be completely beaten up." This is a common motive for many who choose martial arts. Swen Körner, an expert in martial arts research, emphasizes that many people turn to martial arts for fitness reasons or for social contacts. At Wuttkes Boxverein, however, more and more parents are receiving inquiries to make their children fit for defense on the street.

The trend towards martial arts is also reflected in the Iron Gym Viersen, where Sascha, an experienced fighter with a wide range of style, his knowledge and techniques in the MMA and Grappling, shares. As a graduate Blue Belt, he brings valuable experiences from Thai boxing and Luta Livre, which he implements in special training sessions for ambitious fighters and interested parties. This commitment shows how diverse and dynamically the martial arts scene in Germany is - an environment in which learning and sharing knowledge are very popular. These are just a few of the factors that lead to a steady increase in membership in martial arts and gyms, as well as The-iron-gym.de reports
