Why attend a seminar?

Training with different instructors helps students see familiar principles in new ways. Seminars also provide extended training time, exposure to a wider range of students and the opportunity to ask questions in greater depth.

Many students describe seminars as an important part of their long-term development and a key connection to the wider international Systema community.

A welcoming environment

You do not need years of experience to attend. Many people attend their first seminar within their first year of training. The atmosphere is friendly, supportive and focused on learning. Everyone was new once.
