Dance Exchange

If you're reading this, chances are you're interested in self-defense, not just as a skill but as a transformative experience. 
Look no further, because at Maryland Systema, we offer a training regimen that goes beyond the mere execution of moves. We provide an immersive, holistic experience that enriches your mind, body, and spirit.
Why Maryland Systema?
Personalized Learning: We believe every individual is unique. You don't just get a cookie-cutter program; you get personalized training tailored to your physique, capabilities, and objectives.
Expertise: As the Founder of Maryland Systema, I bring years of practical and instructional experience in martial arts and self-defense. My team and I are certified, passionate, and ever-eager to help you reach your fullest potential.
Comprehensive Self-Defense: Systema isn't just another martial art; it's a comprehensive system of understanding human anatomy, movement, and psychology. You don't just learn to fight; you learn to understand your opponent, making you effective in neutralizing threats with minimal effort.
Holistic Wellness: Beyond fighting skills, Systema integrates breathwork, posture, relaxation, and mental conditioning to keep you balanced, focused, and agile in any situation. We offer a well-rounded approach to self-defense that most traditional martial arts simply don't cover.
Real-World Scenarios: We don't just train you for the ring; we prepare you for life. Our scenarios simulate real-world situations you might encounter, making your training practical and immediately applicable.
Inclusive Community: Whether you're a beginner or an experienced martial artist, our community is welcoming and supportive. We provide a safe and respectful environment where you can grow at your own pace.
Adaptable Skills: Systema is about fluidity and adaptability. Our approaches are not rigid; they're designed to adapt to various situations and opponents. This makes you versatile and highly effective in self-defense.
Ethical and Moral Foundations: At Maryland Systema, we instill not just skills but values. We teach restraint, discipline, de-escalation strategies and the ethical use of force, making you a responsible citizen and a formidable opponent.
Flexible Scheduling and Locations: We understand that life is busy. That's why we offer a variety of class times and locations to suit your schedule.
So, if you're ready for a transformative journey that not only equips you with exceptional self-defense skills but also fosters your overall well-being, Maryland Systema is the place for you. 
Ready to unleash your inner warrior? Join us now, and be part of a transformative experience that you'll carry for a lifetime, not just during a class.

Our classes are open to adults and no prior experience is needed. Please wear comfortable closes including long pants or trousers.

The difference in expectations between high school and college can be a shock. You've probably been told to "study hard". But have you been taught to "study correctly"?
When studying, anyone can reach a certain point and get "stuck". Or even come to a point where you realize that you have no idea what you've read. When this happens you've encountered a barrier. Attend this live, interactive workshop to learn how to recognize study barriers and overcome them. If you choose, you'll even be able to help someone else do the same.
You'll also learn to use your analytical and creative mind(s) to memorize information faster.
If you are a student, parent, educator, or presenter and want to be able to learn faster and help others do the same, don't miss this event.
You will have the skills to learn any subject you choose. Once you've practiced the steps to help someone else, you'll be able to use your skills to help children, students, friends and family academically and with any information (business, legal, medical) that affects their lives.

Join us at Gunston Hall as we commemorate the 248th anniversary of the 1776 Virginia Declaration of Rights. In writing this document, George Mason took some of the first steps in American history to make this country and the world a better place. They were not perfect steps. Mason owned slaves his entire life and the rights in the Declaration applied to a specific segment of society. Countless people have since worked to make the ideals of the Declaration a reality for everyone.
This program will happen rain or shine. In the event of rain, some activities may move indoors. 

This program is complimentary for all attendees. Some experiences will require a complimentary, timed ticket which may be picked up the day of the event.
