• Systema is a realistic combat style of fighting with real-life, rather than sport and competition. It involves a unique, high speed, elliptical open-hand striking system, kicking, and defense on the ground. Unlike many styles, Systema has no predetermined fighting stances, but teaches you to defend and escape against attackers from any position in any scenario. In addition, students are trained in the use and disarming of weapons, improvised weapons (items you use in everyday life), as well as combat in non-traditional situations such as fighting from a chair, while in a car or from a real life scenario.
