Training in Systema is very different to training in many of the traditional or sports based martial arts. Instead of standing in lines repeating movements, learning sets, katas or a series of complicated techniques, learning Systema centres around exploring and understanding a set of simple yet profound principles.

The class is friendly and fun but focused, there are no egos, no hierarchy, no cliques, everyone works together in an environment of mutual respect. To facilitate fast learning the principles are learnt through a series of explorative drills, exercises and free play, each drill targeted at teaching a particular lesson, developing efficient movement or conveying a particular skill. You will work to remove excess tension from your body and psysche, leaving you freer to act instinctively and decisively and also greatly improving your ability to deal with general stress, pressure, fear and anxiety.

The training can range greatly in intensity from breathwork, stretching, softwork, movement and mobility to more physically and psychologically challenging drills, exercises and freeplay – everyone works within their own boundaries to positively challenge themselves, for the most part the idea is not to compete with your training partners, but to train together in a way that is mutually beneficial.

The nature of the training helps you to develop freedom of movement, spontaneity and creative free thinking. Through the drills you will cultivate your own personal understanding of the principles, this allows for unique freedom and flexibility in application, your responses will very quickly become instinctive, intuitive, effective and appropriate to the situation.  

Training with us holistically covers combat, health and wellbeing.
