The theme of this years November Intensive is: Natural Movement.
It is running on the 25-27 November 2022
Systema is a natural approach to health, fitness, wellbeing and martial arts.
Natural Movement is the basis of Systema’s approach to self defence and combat
There are no contrived positions or techniques in Systema.
Forms and stances can be seen as fear and we work to develop a response that is natural, proportionate, effective and appropriate to the situation in the moment.
A natural response is one that comes from a calm, relaxed psyche free of tension, fear, ego and pride.
During this seminar we will work with exercises, drills and concepts to develop your ability to produce work that flows naturally from you.
Just as water runs, it always finds the right path.
It starts with natural breathing. We will move past breathing techniques and head towards unconscious competence in breathing.
We will then apply this to movement and then into partner work.
We will use some of the unique and never before seen exercises that Vladimir developed during the recent seminar in London.
We will look at some very effective drills to develop instinctive work that flows from one movement to the next.
‘Natural movement is the shortest way to an effective result.’ – Vladimir Vasiliev.
Video Recording:
There will also be the option to shoot a video recording of the final testing phase for you to keep and if desired send to Vladimir Vasiliev for feedback and/or instructor validation/renewal/upgrade.
Health and Conditioning:
A key benefit of free work is that you need to remove tension, thoughts and emotions for it to flow freely.
As your skill improves, so does your health.
We will also cover the Systema approach to mobility, stretching, massage, deep and functional relaxation and conditioning work.
It will be intense but a lot of fun, with time for relaxation and use of the Academy for your own free training.
