715. Why Grown-Ups Need to Play Fight - With Matteo Tangi
About this episode
What do puppies, warriors, and 3-year-olds with sticks all have in common? They're all play fighting - and it's not just fun, it's foundational. In this episode, I chat with embodiment teacher and Play-Fight founder Matteo Tangi about why this primal practice matters more than ever in modern life.
We explore the deep biology behind playful combat, how it shapes brain and body development, and what it unlocks in adult relationships, leadership, and personal growth. Matteo shares how healthy aggression, co-regulation, and joy can all coexist in a single practice - and why we need more of it in a world full of screens and stress.
