Hawar's Leaving Do is STILL ON this saturday at Uldis' pub and the food has already been bought, so bring your friends and come and have a Volcano Party. Food is free if you are a registered seminar attendant and only £10 each for as much as you can eat for your mates, so bring them along and let's use Systema on the Volcano "catastrophe" and make it a day of friendship, camaraderie, good food and fun and give our good friend a nice memory of us to take to Japan where he is relocating.

UPDATE:

Due to the cancellation of all air traffic to Europe, the seminar with Vadim Dobrin scheduled on 16 to 18th of April is POSTPONED to 2 weeks times.

The new date for the seminar is Friday April 30th to Sunday May 2nd.

We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause you.

People who have booked for the initial date will be contacted by email with more information.

Vadim Dobrin is an internationally renowned Systema Instructor that until now limited his seminars and classes to the country of South Africa for over the last 10 years. It is often said that a teacher should be judged by the students he produces and if this is the case then anyone that has worked with any of Vadim’s Students can attest to the fact that they are some of the most competent Systema practitioners anywhere in the world.

Due to our forecoming expansion to the land of the rising sun, the wednesday class at Arch897 next to London Brigde are cancelled. Training will no longer occurs at this location. Please attend the wednesday class at Liverpool Street if you want to train on this day of the week.

New classes start on Monday 18th January at:
Masbro Centre
87 Masbro rd.
W14 0LS
from 7pm to 9pm

Please see the link for details

We are going to have a 3 to 4 hour session this Saturday in the open air at Hyde Park, regardless of weather conditions or temperatures! We will meet at Hyde Park Corner Station, near the big arch with the angels you can see when you get out of the station. Time will be announced during the week but is likely to be from about 1pm to 4.30pm or so.
The idea is to get out of your comfort zone and yet have fun. Despite the name, no hard-core (or even any!) martial arts background is required.
Cost will be £10 per person and this money will go towards buying equipment for more hardcore training such as body armour etc for those who want to practice this way too.

We need your input to make this event a success so please use the contact e-mails to tell us:
1) that you will be attending
2) which park you would personally prefer to train in
3) best times, currently we are planning for between 1pm to 4 or 5pm (that's right... some of it almost in the dark for added fun!)

As for WHY? Why on Earth would you subject yourself to this? Well...you want to survive 2012 don't you? :)
Also, the mindset generated by this really needs to be experienced to be believed. Crazy people are happier!

Finally, anyone who completes every one of these sessions throughout the year gets some kind of prize as yet to be determined by us, but it will be something memorable.

Training commences on Wednesday the 6th of January at the Liverpool street Gym at 7.15pm as usual.

3 Months free training goes to Luis Elvira for being the most regular student in 2009. Well done Luis.

With all the economic downturn and the raising of rental prices across the board it is no surprise that everything becomes more expensive. We Systema people however like to do things differently from the mainstream so we have come up with a way that you can train for less than you did in 2009.

Starting in 2010 we will have a new pricing structure for both the London School of Systema and the Way of Systema training sessions. The table below summarises what these are.

Please take note there are 198 available classes for 2010 at the moment but these may increase if we add more days of training, which is a very high likelihood and each extra day adds about 40 to 45 classes to the year for you to train in.

If you have a 3, 6 or 12 month card and we add more training days under Way of Systema (Friday Saturday or Sunday) you pay NOTHING more. Which means your training per session would come down to some ridiculous price of under £4, which as far as we know is cheaper than any training you can get in London. Last year the average cost of training per class was over £7.50 across the board. As you can see, we have made it so that 5 of the 8 options available are cheaper than that and in fact cheaper than they were 2 years ago! We also kept single class costs the same as last year.

Special events such as seminars we will host over week-ends and so on are not included in your training sessions. The above only applies to regular training sessions throughout the year and also excludes a new series of session we are planning for the new year which will only be unveiled later.

After all a little bit of unknown is always a good thing in training!
