I have just returned from spending a week at Systema HQ Toronto with Vladimir Vasiliev and their team of instructors.
There are many things that I will take from the trip that I will share over the coming months with my students in class and through newsletters.
Top of this list however, is how important it is to see your teacher on a regular basis and to ‘drink from the well’. Vladimir explained how valuable it was for him to see Mikhail and how much he gained each time.
My understanding that it is a lifetime study deepened and that the longer you go between visits to your teacher, the more you will ‘dry up’ in terms of your understanding, ability, motivation, and enthusiasm.
I feel refreshed, replenished and refilled. When you include regular and private classes, I had about 20 hours of training during the one week. As opposed to feeling fatigued, I feel rejuvenated and inspired to share what I have learned.
My deepest thanks to Vladimir and Valerie, Max, the Twins, Jason, Eric and everyone who made our trip so special.
