Systema
Systema is a Russian martial art focused on natural movement, breathing, and relaxation. It emphasizes efficiency and adaptability in combat, using fluid motion, proper posture, and mental awareness. Rather than relying on brute force, practitioners learn to use body mechanics and leverage their opponent’s energy against them. Systema also incorporates breathing techniques and body awareness to improve health and resilience. Its principles can be applied beyond fighting, fostering physical and mental well-being, and promoting a relaxed, centered approach to stress and conflict.
