Join Maryland Systema every week in Takoma Park for self-defense training designed for real-world situations. Our classes focus on natural movement, breathing control, and maintaining calm under pressure—skills that help you respond effectively to sudden threats.
Training goes beyond standard martial arts drills, covering a wide range of topics: striking, grappling, ground movement, joint control, environmental awareness, improvised defense, and working against both armed and unarmed opponents. You’ll also learn how to adapt to changing circumstances, manage fear, and use efficient movement to protect yourself and others.
All fitness levels are welcome, and classes are taught in a cooperative, safe environment that balances realism with controlled training. Whether your goal is personal protection, improved awareness, or greater confidence, Maryland Systema provides adaptable skills you can apply in everyday life.
