I started SYSTEMA at the age of 40. I have been under the direction of Alexandr Maksimtsov (President of Federation Russian Martial Art) for 5+ years, now preparing for the level 4 test http://systema-rma.com/en/4-th-level and getting certified for an entry level SYSTEMA coach. Practicing 3-4 times a week is a must, getting daily mental “run-throughs” of what has been learned helps a lot as well. What you get? Confidence, hidden powerful weapon at your hand, a healthy spine and joints, you get agile and stretched like a gymnast. Negative? SYSTEM is addictive, once started, impossible to give up. Enjoy! :)
