Systema, the Russian Martial Art !While the bulk of our training regimen is based on the brutal training of Russian Warriors, the proper practice of Systema is designed to bring inner peace, stillness and the ability to deal with stress, conflict, aggression and violence without emotional engagement.The curriculum is broad, exposing students to a wide variety of skill acquisition and embodiment of knowledge.

Non Destruction - a basic Systema principle.

Training for life - such is our approach at Roots.We firmly believe that in the process of getting weaponized, our students should not get damaged. Based on Natural movement and intuition, our goal is to equip our students with a indomitable tool that will stay with them while walking on the face of this planet.
