Attention Men - The month of November is dedicated to your Health. Mo-FightClub!

FightClub has been like a second home for both myself and my kids for the last six years. Manny's lessons are life lessons and apply to so much more than self-defense. Whether you're at work, or school, or out and about you can apply all the ideas you'll learn to everything you do. And on the off-chance that you do need self-defense... you'll be ready! From the daily classes, to the specialized seminars, we are very fortunate in Toronto to have the opportunity to study Systema at FightClub. Thanks to Manny, his instructors, and students that attend!

Excellent instructor, excellent students, excellent venue. Emmanuel has a vast amount of knowledge and shares it with abundance. Emmanuel makes the whole learning process so logical, through the use of stories and analogies he speeds the absorption and retention of that knowledge. I can not wait to be back at fight club again and hopefully with my son next time.

“It was Emmanuel's passion for Systema, the knowledge of it, sharing that passion, and how it shows your devotion to the people in your life that made me pick FC all those years ago when I was looking to begin martial arts. The same holds true today”

I always thought great teachers made great students, but Emmanuel showed me that the reverse is true: great students make great teachers.  Seeing him offer master lessons in his smartly humble way through exuberant revealing of his own daily practices and deep grasp of Systema principles as his Way of Life.  His teaching inspired guts and grit as much as laughter and delight.  A superb expression of ‘mastery’ where these best lessons blended precise words into exact teaching by doing!

"If you’re looking to work on yourself or improve the vast experience we all call “life”, this is the place to do it. As far as Systema schools go, Fight Club is at the top, and in terms of instructors, Manny is the best of the best. There are many Systema schools throughout the world that offer wonderful training, but at Fight Club you will learn how to bring this training into your life in the most genuine way possible. I highly recommend training here if you get the chance"

I met Manny at a seminar my brothers and I attended in Roanoke, VA. Manny is equal amounts Power and Humility along with a gift for teaching. After this weekend I felt like I became a sponge and my relationship with Systema has been growing faster and faster since. If you ever get the honor to train with this man know that you are in the hands of a true master of the art.

“Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, and just as importantly, HOW you share that knowledge. You make everyone you work with feel special, like you are trying to bring out the best in them. You are a gifted teacher and we are blessed to know you.”  - God Bless
