Joining forces
Posted in Uncategorized on September 8, 2014 by Lexington SystemaDue to a recent move, I will no longer be offering classes in Lexington. The Lexington school has merged into the long-standing Roanoke Systema Group, and I have come on-board there as the assistant instructor under the outstanding certified instructor Lloyd Robrecht. This website will remain up as an informational resource for the foreseeable future, and I still welcome those who are interested in Systema to contact me through the form on this site.
For anyone who may be interested in joining our training classes in Roanoke, I would encourage you to visit our Facebook page or our website.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time teaching in Lexington, and hope those who are interested in training will follow us to our Roanoke location.

Fistfight seminar at NC Systema and Schedule Updates
Posted in Uncategorized on July 23, 2013 by Lexington SystemaI visited NC Systema in Chapel Hill this past Saturday for an outstanding seminar on fist fighting. Their next seminar will be on knife work on August 24th. I highly recommend these seminars for those interested in a topic focused, 4 hour seminar only about 3.5 hours from Lexington. For more information on the upcoming seminar, click on the photo.
We will be taking a brief summer hiatus from training for the next few weeks while I travel to Seattle for a Wilderness Evasion seminar with Konstantin Komarov. We will resume Wednesday classes on August 14th. Saturday classes will resume in September.

Please join us at 60 Cloverleaf Ln in Lexington, VA as we will be exploring some new concepts from Vladimir Vasiliev’s seminar in Los Angeles and Glenn Murphy’s outdoor seminar in North Carolina.
Also, on Saturday June 8th we will be hosting guest instructor Lloyd Robrecht from Roanoke Systema Group for our regular class from 1-3. I encourage everyone to join us for the opportunity to learn from a very skilled and experienced instructor!
LA Seminar
Posted in Uncategorized on May 22, 2013 by Lexington SystemaI had a great time at the Vladimir Vasiliev Defend-Attack seminar in LA this past weekend. I’m looking forward to bringing the new material back to everyone at Lexington Systema! As a reminder, we will meet for class tonight, the 22nd, but not this Saturday. The schedule will return to normal after that.

Street Crimes Video
Posted in Uncategorized on April 30, 2013 by Lexington Systema
This video is available now for download from the Systema HQ website. I was there when it was filmed, and I highly recommend it as an enlightening look at protecting yourself from petty theft, pickpocketing, and similar street crimes. If you have an organization that would be interested in learning more about this, and other aspects of self-defense, please contact Lexington Systema through the link on the right sidebar.
