Systema Martial Arts
Currently Pasquale Antonio teaches weekly classes, workshops, and seminars for adults and children at NC Systema in Durham, North Carolina.
Systema is a complete training system for the mind, body and spirit, combining the benefits of martial arts, yoga, massage and meditation. Learn to protect yourself by building powerful, intuitive responses while becoming more fit, flexible and free of fear and stress.
Training Options
Training in martial arts can be the pinnacle of exploration of embodiment and self-cultivation.
The body must be trained to move with fluidity and receive pressure, the psyche must be calm, and the nervous system trained to adapt subtle changes. We study relationship and how to respond appropriately in the moment to any given situation. We seek to cultivate these qualities all while handling different degrees of stress.
The most important aspect of self-defense is situational awareness. Knowing your surroundings, the people around you, and your options at any given time, and being able to improvise while under threat.
While Pasquale primarily teaches Systema, he utilizes almost 2 decades of experience in various Japanese and Chinese martial arts training.
