Systema USA

Specialties

Systema is a highly adaptable and brutally effective survival system for the modern age that is being used by everyday men and women to protect themselves and others in an uncertain world. The work is taught by high-level internationally-certified instructors, in a very supportive community, and is based on relaxed intuitive movement, focused breath training, and repeatable methods for prevailing against armed attackers, and working in confined spaces and against multiple opponents. Our training helps students rediscover the freedom and natural fluidity of their bodies, which is often lost after childhood. With this freedom comes more control, more choices, greater awareness, and better decision-making under duress. A high degree of importance is placed on improvisational skill since it is unlikely that pre-programming or memorization can fully prepare a person for the unpredictability of real world confrontations. We therefore focus on refining our instincts and better connecting with our inner state so that we are less encumbered by our physical or emotional limitations. Our comprehensive breathing methodology is found in no other system, and it is used to increase overall survivability, through improved situational awareness, recovery, preparation, self-diagnosis, and fear mitigation. Join us today and see how our advanced training methods will transform the way you move, think, and feel, on and off the mat.
