SYSTEMA
"Systema" means "The System". This martial art has been handed down within Russian families for generations, similar to the way Asian martial arts have been handed down for centuries.
The System has no katas (forms), but seems to have a lot of the applications one finds within other martial arts. It flows, allows the practitioner to strike from oftentimes strange angles, employs a "floating" center of gravity, looks like T'ai Chi on speed, and trains one in all manner of weapons as an extension of the practitioner. NOTE: Systema training is currently offered on Thursday nights from 7-8:00 p.m.

Introduction to Systema
Systema means "The System". This martial art has been handed down within Russian families for generations, similar to the way Asian martial arts have been handed down for centuries. Systema has no katas (forms) to learn. Its flowing movement is reminiscent of T’ai Chi, yet is tailored to each individual. It teaches how to escape from grabs, as well as how to neutralize the attacker’s punches, strikes, and kicks without absorbing the full impact yourself. Systema also teaches you how to deal with a variety of weapon-based attacks (e.g., sticks, knives, clubs, guns, etc.), as well as how to use whatever is at hand to defend yourself (e.g., books, coats, keys, umbrellas, etc.). Be sure to sign up today for your chance to experience this very practical Russian martial art. Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes.
