SHOW ME HOW…

FOUNDATION

Build a solid base of strength, power, mobility and endurance. These fundamental characteristics are critical for any martial artist, athlete or hard-living individual. Multiple modalities, which are especially conducive to martial arts and combatives, are incorporated. But no fads here. Only proven, research-backed methods are employed to deliver the minimum effective dose while stimulating continuous growth. Train smarter. 

FUNCTION

Unlock your skills with highly functional movement patterns. Practice complex, whole-body movements and gain awareness of how your body integrates and operates. Balance this with the ability to selectively activate individual muscle groups under duress or load. This is core to Systema training but also incorporates movements and concepts that are borrowed from systems like the GMB method. Old school strength and physical culture enthusiasts may associate some of these methods with Maxick’s Muscle Control concepts, and there are definite similarities. This functional training is focused on highly effective combat skills. This is one aspect of our training that stands apart from purely athletic skills development. 

FLOW

Forge your body-mind connection, temper your psyche and replace your operating system. Enter the flow state at need. The FLOW phase is a completely unique element of training at IMMA. When merged with the foundation and function phases – a formidable warrior is produced.
