Background
Information: The Russian Martial Art, or "Systema," is
an effective and versatile style of of self-defense
that can be utilized by people of all ages for personal protection.
It is inherently different from other styles, as the principles taught
in Systema are very practical and applicable to many various situations.
In this style, the student learns the correct survival mindset and
the necessary techniques against all kinds of opponents, with and
without additional weapons (knives, guns, etc.)
Important
Concepts: Sensitivity and response potential are the most
important founding concepts of this style. The students must first
learn to relax and face their opponents without fear or tension,
freeing the body for more fluid and efficient movements. Economy
of motion
is also of vital importance to Systema students. Less movement allows
for less energy wasted, and faster reaction time. Fine motor skills
are an important part of training.
We
are happy to introduce George Pogacich, Systema Russian Martial Art Instructor.
Systema is a highly effective martial art, used by the Russian Special
Forces. Unlike many other forms of self-defense, Systema can be used
in a real life-or-death situation, for it is not just a collection of
good-looking moves, but a system of concepts that let you control your
body in such a way as to defend yourself against most armed and unarmed
attacks. On a physical and psychological level, Systema teaches you how
to protect yourself from many threats, ranging from bar fights to knife
fighting techniques.
