SYSTEMA
Russian Martial Art
A unique approach to martial arts based on ancient Russian combat traditions.
Systema doesn’t focus on rigid techniques; instead, it teaches students how to remain calm under pressure. This provides the foundation for learning basic self-defense skills.
Through Systema training your kids will be guided to:
-
increase body and self-awareness through breathing and movement exercises
-
learn effective teamwork skills
-
and most importantly:
-
discover their ability to remain relaxed and respond effectively when feeling stressed, challenged or afraid.
These skills are invaluable not only in self-defense situations, but more importantly in effectively dealing with the challenges of everyday life in a positive and healthy way.
