Core offering

Thaifight (legally Mertens Selfprotection Concept / MSPC) delivers in-person self-defense and self-assertion training courses in Nürnberg, Fürth, and Erlangen. The offering is centered on a proprietary MSPC methodology that integrates Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) principles with martial arts techniques to teach strength-independent, leverage-based defense skills. Courses are delivered for individual consumers (women, children, men), one-on-one private sessions, and corporate/group seminars.

Product overview

Thaifight offers a unified suite of self-defense and self-assertion training services under the Mertens Selfprotection Concept (MSPC) brand. The portfolio consists of five interconnected offerings: Frauen SV for women's self-defense, Kinder SV for children's self-assertion, Palmstick & Schirm for weapon-based defense using everyday objects, Seminare/Firmenseminare for group workshops and corporate training, and Privatunterricht for private one-on-one instruction. The offering utilizes NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques alongside physical techniques to enhance learning speed and retention, combining mental strength and prevention with physical skill development.
