Kansas City Systema-- Russian Martial Art group in the greater K.C. area-- instructor, Alan Walker

Welcome to Kansas City Systema.
Systema is an ancient Russian martial art dating back a thousand years. It is a conglomerate of several arts which were developed into one during the Soviet era. The classes are small and are structured around various drills which enable each student to discover his or her own natural abilities and limitations.

The basic premise, overly simplified, is that mastery of breath, calm, form and natural movement is the key to survival in any situation. Drills are conducted to inoculate against tension and fear and ensure quick reactions in efficient and natural means. The results are amazing. Dress is loose fitting casual or athletic clothes. Classes are Tuesdays and Fridays at 6pm).

Kansas City Systema is a school taught by the Systema Certified Instructor, Mr. Alan Walker. Mr. Walker is a police officer in the greater Kansas City area and has trained in multiple martial arts prior to training in Systema.
