About this Event

Thank you for your interest in Maryland Systema: Integrated Self-Defense Training!

What makes Systema unique is its integrated approach. It combines principles of structure, breathing, relaxation, and movement with both physical and psychological training.

This comprehensive system not only equips you with self-defense skills but also enhances your health, reduces stress, and deepens your understanding of both your own mindset and that of an attacker.

The result is a well-rounded skill set that prepares you for a variety of situations.

Systema’s methodology aligns with Maryland’s self-defense laws by encouraging disciplined and measured responses to threats.

Our integrated approach to self-defense training fosters both physical and psychological readiness, helping practitioners respond proportionately and effectively in challenging situations.

Your First Class: Open to all adults – no previous experience required. Dress comfortably in long pants. Classes are held in Studio 3 of the historic Dance Exchange in Takoma Park, with ample free parking available.

Limited Spots Available! Each class lasts 1.5 hours with a maximum of 10 students. So, you will get lots of hands-on instruction. Secure your spot by texting Jim at 301-326-9146.

We can't wait to welcome you into our community and help you start a journey that will enrich every aspect of your life.

Founder and Chief Instructor, Maryland Systema
