Systema is the Russian word for “The System” and is a martial art combining both body and mind. Systema doesn’t stick to out-dated techniques, just in the name of tradition, but is constantly evolving relying on the simple principles of breathing, movement, relaxation and correct body structure.
Melbourne Systema has developed a unique systemised approach to learning Systema which has led to the introduction of the progress development syllabus. The syllabus has been designed to break down the fundamental concepts of Systema enabling you to learn faster and gain a deeper understanding of Systema’s training principles.
At Melbourne Systema classes are held in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Training exercises usually take place with two or more people working together to help each other learn. Each class is 90 minutes in duration. At the end of class, the whole group sits together in a circle and everyone gets a turn to pass comments on the class. This allows any questions to be asked and answered and to share any insights students may have had about the days training.
