The foundation of fast and correct action is situational awareness and control over your own internal condition.

At this seminar, prepare for the real-life scenarios:
• Be aware of your surroundings without being paranoid
• Read the signs of danger, when to avoid it and when to deal with it if escape is not an option
• Trying to “win” a fight vs professional work
• Protect yourself from harm: mental and physical
• Capture the value of calmness
• Know your own strong and weak points for strikes, holds and weapons
• Know the real limits of your body condition, speed and courage

Turn awareness into action and danger into control.

What is Tactical Relaxation?
It’s a fundamental Systema skill of staying calm and relaxed under pressure, so that you can move freely, think clearly, and respond with precision to any situation.
What better place to relax than the sunny Florida? Study how to stay tension-free in any confrontation.

This festival dives deep into the core principles of breathing, structure, smooth movement, short work and internal work to help you build elite-level resilience for both combat and daily life.

Hosted by Systema Floyd in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Previous experience not required.

Take the rare opportunity to master your skills of working against and with edged weapons, impact weapons, spike weapons, and training firearms.

Throughout the seminar, you will work with a knife, stick, gun, chain, spike tool, and massage tools.

Practice at various distances, positions, and speeds. Learn the dangers each weapon presents and how to protect yourself against them. Recognize the signs of a pending attack and ways to prevent it.

Vladimir will take you from simple fundamental movements to advanced skills.

You will study:
- How to work against stabs, cuts, single jabs, and shanking
- How not to freeze before the blade if the attacker feints a stab
- To run or not to run scenarios
- Escape and counter in one move versus multi-directional movements
- Learn smooth movements of the arms, legs, and body, and get them to work as a whole as well as independently of each other
- What you can actually do against these attacks in terms of awareness, relaxation, movement, prevention and control

Train to be ready when the threat is real.

For all levels of experience.

Bring your own training weapons or use those available at the gym.

Internal power does not depend on your size, speed or effort; it is based on the mastery of yourself.

In this seminar, Vladimir will guide you through the exercises that turn your attention inside, help you find inner restrictions and catch the right internal state of calmness and awareness.

True power comes when there is fullness in the body.

What is body fullness? When we sense every part of the body and there is no tension. This can be achieved through correct structure, skilled breathing and versatile movement.

For all levels of experience.
