About Systema

Systema is a comprehsive system of study that includes a martial art, self defense training, fitness system, and health/healing system. On a basic level the goal of Systema is to grow and heal through understanding and experience. The training is difficult as much of it causes the student to look inside and consider one's fears, ego, limitations, motivations and more. This type of reflection is always difficult.
 
The training pushes each of us into uncomfortable situations. The more we learn to relax, breathe and trust ourselves the easier it is for the student and the more profound the result. Even a small person has great physical power when they know how to apply it properly. Learn more about the training on the 'training' page on this site.
 
The style of Systema taught is Ryabko Systema, created by Mikhail Ryabko in Russia and taught by Vladimir Vasiliev in North America. Learn more about each of these top masters below.
One of Mikhail Ryabko’s words to the beginners is "Be a good person and everything else will come to you." In a simple, yet comprehensive way The System helps you choose and follow the right path.
