An Introduction from Shon
I’ve been teaching Aikido and Systema for over a decade now. I take my responsibility to students seriously. Practical self-defense is part of the training from the beginning, while asymmetric real-world situations—including multiple attackers and weapons—are introduced progressively over time. Throughout the process, we train in ways that holistically strengthen body and soul while cultivating self-knowledge.
Both Systema and Aikido are martial arts with deep psychological dimensions, as well as practical applications in everyday life and emergency situations. Join us for class!
Wishing you the best.
