Systema Columbus

Systema has its roots in the traditional martial arts of Russia. It was refined and synthesized as part of the training regime for top Soviet Special Operations Units working in the KGB and other government divisions.

While Systema is ideal for those without a self-defense background, it also benefits those with a history in martial arts, the military or law enforcement.

Session content varies, but regularly includes hand-to-hand combat, strikes, weapon skills & defense, rolling, multiple attackers, ground fighting, and joint locks. Breathing, relaxation, posture, and movement exercises are part of every class.

There are no required uniforms, any comfortable street or exercise clothing will do.

Systema Columbus is  affiliated with the first school of Russian Martial Art outside of Russia, Systema Headquarters in Toronto, Ontario, Canada founded by Vladimir Vasiliev in 1993. Sessions are  lead by Steve Webb.

Training sessions are schedule twice weekly on Tuesday evening from 8:30 - 9:30 and Sunday afternoons from 12:30 - 2:00.  Classes are held at the Aikido School of Central Ohio at 4554 Indianola Ave.
