Systema is a non-competitive Russia martial art with three synergistic components – Combat Skill, Strong Spirit and Healthy Body. It involves hand-to-hand grappling, slapping, swaying, and weapon disarmament to turn an attacker’s strike against him or her. Systema believes that the body must be tension free, filled with endurance, flexibility, effortless movement and explosive potential; the spirit must be calm, free of anger, irritation, fear, self-pity, delusion and pride; the combat skills must be powerful and precise, instant and economical, spontaneous, subtle and diverse. There are five pillars on which Systema is built, which are Breath (a key foundation of training, as it helps the body & mind relax), Relaxation, Constant Movement, Structure/Oscillation, and Redirection.
