Health system
Systema is a Russian martial art practiced solely by select units of the Russian Military Special Forces throughout the communist years of the 20th century, but now its secrets are open to you.
​
If you start Systema you will benefit from the health practices from the very first class and will be in a better position to defend yourself after a few more classes.

We train in Ulverston Parish Centre on Churchwalk in Ulverston. Come through the door then go straight upstairs. If you are interested in coming or finding out more, drop us a message, an email or give me a ring.

We welcome people from the local area, Barrow-in-Furness, Dalton, Kendal and the Lake District and further afield. We also have close links with clubs in Lancashire and the rest of the UK and often meet up on courses.

SYSTEMA
Wednesday 7-9pm Class cost £5
The first part of the class focuses on combat fitness and health aspects of Systema. Don't be mistaken into thinking this is a warm up and the Systema is later. This is an integral part of Systema, developing the combative body and the calm controlled state of mind capable of operating under stress.
​
The first part of the class comes with the reassurance that there will be no strikes, kicks or joint locks. However that doesn't mean it will be easy and you may still get the odd gentle push!
If at any point there is something you prefer not to do you can just stand out and watch. If you only want to do the combat fitness and health side you can just do the first part of the class. We are very easy going!
​
The rest of the class encompasses everything including the self defence, health, breathing, combat side, relaxation, knife defence etc.
​
There is no obligation to take part in everything. If at any point you want to sit out, just have a rest, a watch or get a drink, feel free.
