Do you feel prepared?
by Norbert Tannert, police swat team unit leader
We live in strange and somewhat troubled times these days.
Not only the "Corona-virus" has influenced almost every part of our lives, but it seems that far more unfounded aggression has become part of our daily life.

Anyone who is an avid Systema practitioner knows that Systema is a philosophy that improves all aspects of life. My name is Bobby Schwartz, and I am a Board-Certified Physician in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, a Fellow in Vascular Medicine and an avid Systema practitioner and instructor.

It’s necessary to analyze the views usually given. […]
Systema Training
by Bratzo Barrena Published: July 18, 2018
A few days ago, after class, a man who was watching the training session (around 35 years old), came to me and told me he had always been interested in martial arts and that Russian Systema was very appealing, BUT (yes, there’s always a “but”) he had a back injury and couldn’t train.
