Systema and Aikido                  

Breath    

Has your martial art left you wondering any of the following:
Are forms and kata the answer?
Will a purple or yellow belt help you on the street?
Is destruction of my opponent a worthwhile goal?
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

Where  This year we will re-locate due to the remodel of the Racquet Club.  We will be training at the Park City Police training room.   The Friday evening session will be at the this location.  Outdoor training (Sat and Sun) will be announced Friday night AND via this website as soon as we have a clear picture of the weather situation.  Otherwise, the default location will be at the Police Training Room. 
Check back here for announcements and maps. 

What to Bring and WearWe 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 expectWe are aligning this year's Systemanar with the formula the Mikhail, Vladimir and Konstantin and have used over the last year which is one that builds a breathing and health foundation and then trains energetically once the foundation is in place.  So the first session on Friday evening will center on breath technique and achieving an "inner working state or IWS."  This foundational session is not only ideal for weekend participants, but also will allow others to witness and practice the Russian Breath Methods without worrying about martial arts skill or training that they may not be interested in.  This Friday evening training will help anyone who desires to stop the "inner dialogue" which is counter-productive to most everything that we do.   Most of our un-productive thought is fear based and Systema methods are designed to quickly stop the thoughts (and the fear) and place each person into a state that is peaceful, neutral and very much alive. 

We are offering this special session to anyone and everyone. We are especially hoping that seminar participants will bring spouses, friends and family for this special evening. 

The remaining sessions on Saturday and Sunday will continue the work from last year.  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. 

T-shirts and DVDsWe have created our own Systemanar T-shirt and they will be available for $20 each. 
Systema DVDs to include Kwan's 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.
