"AikiSystema"   

Mark Zamarin and Rob Kidwell are certified Systema instructors (in training) and our school is accredited by Vladimir Vasiliev as an affiliate school.  Mark and Rob have trained in Toronto under Vladimir Vasiliev and many other experts in Russian Systema.  Their training has included various Instructor Intensive Workshops and two "Summer Camp" visits where the training occurs outdoors, in the woods, in water and at night.  Systema is a military martial art that shares many of the principles of Aikido.  

It should be noted that we practice Systema in a very safe manner.  We present it as a highly effective martial art, but we are not preparing our people for some of the extreme Systema seen on various web sites or in the MMA ring.  The principles or Systema that we do emphasize center around fear control via breath and fluidness that makes it nearly impossible for an attacker to hurt us in any way.  Like Aikido, Systema uses the attacker's own energy against him. 

It is impossible to describe Systema or Aikido.  The only way to understand is to attend a few of our classes.  We guarantee that you will be impressed and intrigued!
