Systema, the non-destructive art.
Systema is a Russian Martial Art founded by the late Colonel Mikhail Ryabko and Vladimir Vasiliev. Systema was designed to develop individuals in a combative style which upholds the intrinsic value of all human life. This is why it is non-destructive – even of one’s enemies. Through the use of simple exercises, breathing techniques and massage work, Systema helps you to build a strong mind and body.
Practical self-defence for you and your loved ones.
Systema employs a simple approach to learning the martial art – there are only 4 basic principles in Systema: Breathing, Relaxation, Movement, and Posture. Having a simple approach enables new students to quickly get up to speed with the required skills for practical use as quickly as possible.
Build a strong and healthy body.
Training in Systema is an effective way to target every single system in the body. Our exercises are designed to help with structural alignment in the bones, strengthening of the muscle and tendon systems, increase mobility in the joints and improve fascial and nervous system health. Our training is not limited to physical exercises but incorporates breathing and massage techniques to target and heal each of these systems.
Gain confidence for any situation.
Systema training is a holistic self defense methodology rooted in centuries-old traditions of building warriors of great spirit. On top of helping you develop a strong and healthy body, the entire training program is designed to help you to develop a relaxed and balanced psyche. This balanced state of mind enables you to act decisively and calmly in dangerous situations both in and out of the gym, enhancing your quality of life.
