## Free Intro Self-Defense Class – Maryland Systema
Want to learn how to protect yourself while also improving your health, focus, and confidence?
Join us for a free first class at Maryland Systema, a unique approach to self-defense that blends both physical and mental training.

### Why This Class is Different
Unlike most programs that only teach physical moves, Systema trains your body and your mind. You’ll explore:
- Structure – staying balanced under pressure
- Breathing – keeping calm and controlling fear
- Relaxation – avoiding panic and wasted energy
- Movement – adapting naturally to any situation
You’ll also learn to read an attacker’s intentions and respond proportionately—aligned with Maryland’s self-defense laws.
