Our unique school offers much more than Martial arts and self defence. Unlike many gyms, dojos, clubs and martial arts school, ours is a one of a kind educational facility where training is not an activity, but a way of life.
The curriculum is complex- from health, conditioning, fitness, communications and close protection, to team work, martial history, philosophy, weapons, strategies, stealth, students will carefully and methodically be exposed to the vastness of conflict, violence, harmony and serenity all of which are part of the Warrior’s path.
Along the way, our students learn skills that will stay with them while walking the face of this earth.
Since 1999 when Vali first founded Roots Dojo (previously “Pacific Coast Systema”), he has provided countless individuals with the tools to better understand themselves and others, particularly under conditions of stress, trauma, conflict, or violence. As a student of Ryabko-Vasiliev Systema for 20 years, and a martial arts student for 30 years, Vali has long been studying the nature of violence; its origin(s), its effects, ways to recognize it, and ways to address it at varying stages. Through a unique teaching method that emphasizes an active role in the student learning, Vali facilitates similar explorations on the topic of violence, health, martial art training, among many other topics.
