Systema Colorado holds quarterly seminars open to long-distance students, martial artists from other systems who want to cross-train, and regular Systema practitioners looking to go deeper.

Each seminar focuses on one aspect of Systema — strikes, movement, breath, groundwork, psychological work — and builds toward integrating it into the whole. The goal is to give you a structured approach to an unstructured art.

What to Expect

Clear instruction. Systema principles explained in plain language — not vague cues like “breathe” and “relax,” but a genuine explanation of the purpose behind each drill and exercise so you understand what you’re actually training and why.

Real training time. Extended partner work in a creative, exploratory environment with students of different sizes, backgrounds, and experience levels. This is where the teaching becomes embodied.

Corrective feedback. Specific, constructive feedback that goes beyond surface-level coaching. You will know what to work on and how.

A plan to take home. When you leave, you’ll have a clear training plan to implement with your own partners or group — so the seminar keeps paying off long after you’ve driven home.

Who These Seminars Are For

Seminars are designed for students who can’t make weekly classes in Longmont — whether you’re coming from elsewhere in Colorado, a neighboring state, or just passing through. They’re also well-suited for experienced martial artists from other systems who want a serious introduction to Systema principles, and for regular Systema Colorado students who want intensive focused work outside of the weekly class format.

No prior Systema experience is required. Prior martial arts experience is welcome but not necessary.
