Anyone in Sheffield looking for training in Systema?

I'm interested in finding out more.

Hi Big Godders

The training consists of all aspects of fighting - kicks, punches, locks and holds (and how to escape from them), ground fighting, defense against weapons and multiple opponents. We also train extensively in a variety of breathing and conditioning exercises unique to the Russian system.

The sessions are physical rather than technical - you will sweat!!!
We practice a seemingly unlimited amount of movement drills with natural relaxed body movement being emphasized over specific techniques. There are no pre-set movement routines (kata) and also no grading system.
The atmosphere of the classes is friendly and non-competitive as the goal is for everyone to learn.

A couple of good sources of information are russianmartialart.com and systemauk.com. YouTube also has a ton of clips which can help to give a flavour of the type of training we do.
Also there are a few different types of Systema, the style we do is that taught by Mikhail Ryabko and Vladimir Vasiliev who I am learning from.

Training venue will be as close to the city centre as I can find and probably be on a weekday evening or maybe weekend. I will contact interested people when it's confirmed.

Hope this answers some questions

Certainly does. Thank you. Please let me know when you get sorted. I currently train 4 out 5 week nights but if it falls right I will definately come and have a look.

Cheers

Thanks for the email Nick, can't wait to get started.
