About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Björn is a Heidelberg-based martial arts teacher and founder of Do for Life. For nearly two decades he has led the Taekwon-Do Center Heidelberg, guiding children, teens, and adults with a calm, human approach that puts growth over performance.
His work makes the philosophy behind martial arts experiential: non-contact and invitation-based. Björn teaches in clear English/German and welcomes all levels. Sessions begin with breath to settle the system, then move into mindful, low-impact exploration and relational partner practice where you’re supported and gently challenged.
Academically grounded and heart-led, Björn earned a PhD researching teachers as health promoters in Taekwon-Do. He integrates practical psychology and nervous-system awareness with traditional values, shaping spaces that feel safe, respectful, and quietly brave.
What to expect with Björn: simple cues, precise attention, and room to slow down. You’ll meet yourself without pressure, discover soft strength over force, and leave with a steadier way of acting with intention (on the mat and in daily life).
