Systema Russian Martial Art & Martial Arts Meetup Group

Martial Arts

Martial Arts can be found everywhere in the world. We love to learn about the practice and history of the worlds various Martial Arts and to adapt them to the individual practitioner. The Philosophy deeply embeded in Systema and articulated in Jeet Kune Do is to take what works and leave the rest (yes, that's also a 12-step mantra) Come and Join Martial Arts lovers from the Twin Cities and share your knowledge, skills, passion, and interest. We are about improving each other, and leave the ego's at the door.

All are welcome! All disciplines, all experience and skill levels.
If you are an instructor and would like to contribute - please let me know.

Systema

Systema Russian Martial Art is designed to be highly adaptive and practical, training uses drills and sparring instead of set kata. It focuses mainly on controlling the seven body levers (wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, waist, knees, and ankles) through pressure point application, striking and weapon applications.

The key principle of the Russian Systema is non-destruction. The goal is to make sure that your training and your attitudes do no damage to the body or the psyche of you or your partners. Systema is designed to create, build and strengthen.

Meet others in your local area that are interested in learning the Russian Martial Arts. Disuss your level and skill. We learn and teach as we practice.
