Events Description
Most people train their bodies and treat breath as an afterthought—something that just happens in the background while the “real” work goes on. In Systema, we flip that around. Breath isn’t support for the movement. Breath IS the movement.
This summer, FightClub Toronto is running a half-day workshop dedicated entirely to this idea:
MOVEMENT & BREATH FOUNDATIONS
A Systema Workshop at FightClub Toronto
Sunday, August 16 · 10 am–1 pm
FightClub Toronto
East York
When relaxed movement and breath unify, training becomes lighter, more fluid, and far more sustainable—in the gym and everywhere else.
This workshop is donation-based, with all proceeds going to Michael Garron Hospital. Come train and support a great cause at the same time.
What we’ll cover:
01 — Arriving in the Body
Body scan and breath reset, floor rolling and spine work, slow walking and partner contact. We start by noticing where tension actually lives.
02 — Breath as Tool
Four-count breath cycles, breath under physical stress, breath recovery drills, and breath-led free movement. This is the heart of the day—training breath as the thing that initiates action, not reacts to it.
03 — Movement Without Tension
Tension-release mobility flows, partner flowing drills, and a three-person integration drill where the only task is continuous breath and fluid movement under unpredictable contact.
No prior Systema experience is needed—just a willingness to slow down, pay attention, and learn.
Spots are limited to ensure adequate hands-on coaching, so register early.
See you on the mats,
Emmanuel
