Philosophy of Systema
A WARRIOR'S WAY
Systema is a health and combat system based on principles of physics, biomechanics, physiology, psychology, and reality. Systema is combat oriented, not competition oriented, addressing all ranges of conflict with natural free body movement. This makes it an efficient and effective form of self defence.
​

Systema does not require you to follow rigid postures or rules, other than moral ones, making your movements natural and fluid. This practice allows you to respond to conflict in a way that is best suited to each individual, regardless of your present age, height, weight, strength, flexibility, or natural aptitudes. Everyone's expression of Systema will be somewhat different. Discover your instinctive, innate strengths.
