Schedule

*Tuesdays are dedicated to a thematic topic which can be considered a “stand-alone” course which a newcomer or experienced martial artist can attend to understand our perspective on a specific topic. These courses run for 3-weeks each month and the days without a course are allocated for a guided Systema massage class.

Class attire and what to bring

We recommend a comfortable t-shirt and track pants or long pants. Please ensure your attire does not have sharp edges as these might cause unintended injuries to others and yourself. We also recommend you to wear clothes that you can afford to get ruined as there are many contact drills where they could get pulled or warped.

We do not have shower facilities at the gym although there is a changing room and toilet at both locations. You can bring a set of spare clothes to change into after class with a towel or wet tissue to clean yourself if you wish.

Bottled water is available for purchase at both locations, but you can also bring your own plain water. Food and drinks are not permitted in the venues.

Class etiquette

No former martial art or sporting background is necessary and even physical conditioning is not required. However, there is a lot of physical work and it does help to have a minimum level of fitness. If you have any pre-existing conditions which make such exercises unsuitable for the training, you are required to declare this to us before starting.

Classes are held in a dynamic manner – every class is unique and catered to the students who attend the session. Keep an open mind and be patient with yourself as you evaluate your progress. Feel free to ask the instructors questions about the training at any point of the class as you feel the need to. Systema’s classes are not like a school classroom where you sit and listen to the teacher!
