Kazumi Watari

Systema training started in August 2014.

Certified as IiT by Michael Ryabco in May 2018.

I was impressed by the fun atmosphere of the training and the unique and profound practice method that does not memorize the pattern, so that the body can move naturally.

I started Systema with no experience in martial arts and martial arts, so I think it is the appeal of Systema that anyone can start it.

Shusaku Sanbongi

I am not good at elementary, junior high and high school, physical education and sports, and live a life that is almost unrelated to exercise. Learned Chinese martial arts in college and learned about the joy of exercise.

In 2004, I was impressed by watching the video of Systema and started training under Andy and Scott.
