Melbourne Systema has a dynamic and refreshing approach to learning and self defence. Our classes provide you with the skill of being able to protect yourself, family and friends. Our approach educates and gives you knowledge that is practical in your everyday life, going beyond the principles of traditions and techniques in the martial arts. 

We don't train for competition. There is no belt system. We don't rehearse choreographed patterns that are somehow able to save your neck in a sticky situation. The drills we utilise are tried, tested and true. The technique is modern and is applicable to any scenario.

Cardio and fitness work is directly connected to the techniques we use and is an integrated aspect of the training. You will learn proper breathing techniques which work to slowly build up your stamina enabling you to deal with physical stress and gain the confidence you never knew you had.
