"Solid crew with an instructor that is very seasoned in the arts of real-world survival and personal protection. Highly recommended!"

"Excellent training suitable for both genders and all age groups."

"I was introduced to systema 4 years ago by one of Dean's students and ever since then this martial art has continued to surprise me. I've been training in BJJ since 2010 and am currently also training boxing and muay thai. I'm by no means an expert in martial arts but i'd like to believe I can recognize bullshido when i see it. I admit I went into systema with some doubts about it's validity, especially when most of my exposure was from youtube. However, as soon as I met Dean all my doubts were removed. Real recognize real. I have had the pleasure to train under many coaches, senseis and sifus and I can honestly say that there is no one like Dean. Whether your backround is grappling, striking, tai chi or none at all, Dean will find a way for you absorb this information. I am continuing my MMA training but the more I train Systema, the more I find invaluable applications and life lessons for both in and outside of the cage. Learning to breathe and move correctly and calmly has changed my life and you should let it change yours."
