SYSTEMA TRAINING
A HEALTH SYSTEM DISGUISED AS A MARTIAL ART
Coming out of ancient Russian Culture and adapted to many terrains, SYSTEMA focuses on BREATHING, MOVEMENT, & RELAXATION to rewire how you move, think and respond to conflicts of any kind.
With each practice, you will be challenged to your own individual capacity, causing you to adapt your thinking and strengthen your body a little bit more.
Our goal after each practice is for you to feel relaxed, focused and stronger, with more capacity to daily life conflicts/stress!
No prior martial art experience necessary and in most cases preferred…

Wood Fired Sauna and Cold Plunge!
SAUNA “TO BRING” List:
SAUNA Benefits
- Pushes toxins out of the body
- Improved sleep and a deep sense of warmth in your bones
SAUNA Notes
- Regular sauna use with between four and seven 15 minutes sessions per week has the most health benefits!
- Due to the fluctuating nature of a wood fired sauna, temperatures can vary greatly especially in winter. The sauna averages 130F, but can get as high as 150F.
- Bill says: “In the 130-140F range, it provides a great sweat and after 3 sessions with cold water dousing or ice baths in between and I’m done for the day”
- The sauna seats 6-7 people comfortably
Guidelines and Notes (please read)
- Once here, please register inside at the counter (a sign in form and waiver. You can save time and fill out the waiver before hand here) Sauna is on a first come, first serve basis
- Safe practices say to take 15 min rounds, then take at least a 15 minute break to cool down before going back in. Most importantly listen to your body and how it feels.
- STAYING HYDRATED IS A MUST
- We limit sauna use to those 18 and older (unless under strict parental supervision, thanks)
- Bring your own towels (2 hand towels, one to sit on, one to wipe sweat), and a large one to dry off with after dousing/wrap in to keep warm between sessions
- You must sit on a towel at all times while in the Sauna
- If you feel faint, light headed, experience heart palpitations, nausea, vertigo, or any other unusual symptoms, please notify those around you and remove yourself from the sauna at once.
