Sharpen your skills with focused work on generating power and cultivating lightness in movement through striking and knife practice.

This 4-hour seminar explores how the quality of touch shapes sensitivity, awareness, and martial skill. Rather than focusing on techniques, we will examine the how and why behind effective bodywork. Together we will work with presence, the nervous system, and the ways bodywork principles seamlessly translate into martial arts movement. Through guided practice, you will discover how observation, intelligent pressure, and sensitivity cultivate freedom in both bodywork and martial contexts.

This seminar will explore how to be a better training partner, create optimal learning conditions for others, and refine your own Systema skills while receiving work. Through thoughtful engagement on both sides of the drill, we’ll deepen our understanding of this art.

Our annual year-end roundup, featuring seminar highlights and core concept reviews from Systema HQ, with Chief Instructor Glenn Murphy, supported by other NC Systema Instructors. Finish the year strong with four hours of powerful consolidation (and fun!) 

Discover how to fall safely by letting go of unnecessary tension and surrendering to gravity while maintaining autonomy to move, adapt, and express. This somatic practice easily translates into day to day life where we can see how holding on to our patterns doesn’t always keep us safe, but make us more vulnerable to injury and limits our options. For the martial artist or dancer examining fear can open up a much larger spectrum of creative options.

Study concepts from the latest summer camp including striking, knife work and movement.  

A 4 hour intensive where we will dive deep into the elusive concept of time dilation and perceptual states and how they may apply to creativity in various movement studies - dance, yoga, and martial arts.
