Systema

Systema is a Russian Martial Art that is about 10 centuries old. Whereas many martial arts have been preserved in their traditional forms, Systema has continued to evolve through modern warfare. As such, Systema covers empty-handed, work with all kinds of weapons, all terrains, standing, ground fighting, health, mobility and psychology, and much, much more.

Under the teachings of the Russian Masters Mikhail Ryabko and Vladimir Vasiliev, Systema is now taught as a complete system of health, combat, self-defense, and a way of living your life. Practitioners are taught to be non-aggressive, subtle, hugely effective, healthy, and calm. You develop a deep understanding of human nature. There are no forms, stances, techniques or grading systems, just natural movements adhering to four key principles:

Breathing
Relaxation
Movement
Structure

The Systema can be practiced well into old age as it doesn’t rely on strength, dramatic movie-style kicks, twists or spins just simple, effective natural movements originating from a calm body and mind. Systema has unique methods of dealing with tension and fear, the biggest obstacles to effective self-defense. The goal of Systema is to develop calm, stable, strong individuals who are able to protect themselves and others; performing the ordinary under extraordinary circumstances.
