Systema Training
by Dr. Albert Allen Published: April 08, 2021
Anecdotes abound, of Systema practitioners finding increased capacity for calm, happy, and easygoing interactions with other people. Having experienced these changes myself, I started to wonder how Systema practice might be used to treat mental illnesses.

Chatting with one of my massage clients last week, the subject of martial arts came up. I, of course, was happy to share a bit about Systema and the positive benefits I feel from it in my daily life.

Camp Report by Mark Jakabcsin
I find writing a review after a seminar helps me to analyze the information, gather my thoughts and bring the entire event into a clearer focus. Every Systema seminar or camp I have been to presents so much information, it is impossible to retain it all. Hence, I try to find and understand a common thread or theme that the instructor is presenting and a few drills to demonstrate that concept.
