Introduction to Family Soft School
Family Soft School (FSS), a practice developed by Ella Glushkova, is an integrational children’s development method. FSS is unique in that it is available to children of all ages and developmental stages. This process consists of different games. More specifically, it is based on martial arts and aims for consistent expansion of innate human abilities. Children are taught to be flexible, courageous, brave, sensitive, and adaptable to different situations.
Радостно видеть, как дети, родившиеся с помощью Кесарева сечения, учатся преодолевать препятствия, и как гиперактивные становятся уравновешенней и собранней, а застенчивые смелей.

What do the parents need to know?
You don’t need any prior knowledge to join FSS. As a parent, all you need is a desire to practice and comfortable clothing. However, please note that every parent is required to participate in two adult classes. Rules for parents.
Who teaches at Family Soft School?
Working at FSS might seem easy, but it’s actually a very challenging position. An FSS teacher has to be flexible, joyful, and courageous. They need to be able to participate in seminars and workshops, work on their own self-development, and open up their hearts to those around them. Henceforth, all of our teachers have gone through extensive classes and workshops. As both professionals and individuals they are constantly growing and learning.
