Be Resilient and Become Anti-Fragile

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!

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.

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.

"Systema training at Fight Club has been a reliable friend, always there to give me what I need. Its simplicity belies its depth, and instead of adding tension and accumulating technique, it provides the conditions to let go of the unnecessary. My time here has been a gift, and helped me mature."

“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
