Self Defense

Our training philosophy is not to be confused with any traditional fighting arts and/or combat sports fighting system. We are not in the business of taking years to instruct a student how to incapacitate or eliminate even the most basic fighter, but rather months, comparable to the time a special operations soldier has to prepare for a mission. There are just too many aspects of traditional fighting arts and sports-based fighting systems that are life-threateningly impractical and inefficient for the street and actual brutal violence.

Fitness

Systema is a holistic martial art that aims to strengthen the whole person. In addition to physical training, Systema fitness also focuses on areas such as intuition, breathing capacity,  body/tension awareness, psychological calmness and more for complete development, not just on fighting or fitness alone. Fitness training regimen consists of body weight exercises, partner drills, use of breath to increase performance, freedom of movement, natural body position, generating power from a relaxed body, and much more. Systema is a study of principles and a direct experience, therefore we try as much as possible to structure the class in such a way that we don’t do repetitive drills.

Breathwork
