Systema and Aikido                  

Breath    

Has your martial art left you wondering any of the following:
Where am I really going with my training?
Are forms and kata the answer?
Is destruction of my opponent a worthwhile goal?
Am I improving myself from within?
Am I enjoying my practice each and every day?
If you answered "no" to any of the above then please join us in October in Park City, Utah

WhereThe Park City Racquet Club is our indoor location, but we are hoping to conduct some of the training outdoors-weather permitting.  Friday evening training will be at the Racquet Club.  Announcements regarding any variation from the Racquet Club location for Sat/Sun will be made on this page of the website and will be decided no later than Friday evening.  Please check back here for updates!  Or call Rob @ 435 901-0254. 

                                 

What to Bring and WearThe weather forecast is for sunshine and temperatures in the 60s.  We will train outdoors on Saturday.  We suggest long pants (fatigues or dark pants/sweats) and a t-shirt.  A sweatshirt might come in handy when we go outside.  If you have a training knife you may bring that.  We will have knives and jo-staffs if you don't have your own. Eat a decent breakfast before you come as we will not have a lunch break. There will be a 15-minute snack break between sessions on Saturday and Sunday.  Bring something to eat that won't slow you down (apple, protein bar, etc).  Water will be available, but many people bring their own drinks.

What to expectMany people want to know what the agenda will be.  Frankly, we don't have a specific, set in stone curriculum planned.  Mark and Kwan will shape the training for the group and it will be a broad spectrum of Systema concepts and methods.  Continuous breath and movement will be emphasized as Systema cannot be practiced without these core concepts.  What we can assure you is that the training will be similar to the training that you would get with Vlad or Mikhail if you were to go to Toronto or Moscow for a seminar.  Therefore, we suggest that you not worry about "what" and come with an open mind.  Systema is flowing and intuitive so let go of all the stuff that you think you know.  Leave your "stuff" at home.  It will still be there for you when the Systemanar is over...if you still want it. 

T-shirts and DVDsWe have created our own Systemanar T-shirt and they will be available for $20 each.  You can purchase these during the seminar or pay now via Paypal.  If you pay now then we will set aside your size request which you can make in the Comments section to the Seller.  We have 48 shirts ranging from Medium to 2XL.
Systema DVDs to include Kwan's new DVD will be available for purchase at the event. 

The t-shirts are high quality, short sleeve, black shirts with the following graphics:

Saturday Night Social TimeAfter training we will head to Squatters in Park City for "de-briefing."  Squatters is casual offering brew-pub style food with a great selection of barley beverages.  We have the bar reserved for our group and the festivities will kick off at 5 PM.  After the snacks and malt beverage session you may want to grab dinner in the main dining area.
