After 4 good years in our old school location the Bellevue Systema NW training group is moving. For those of you familiar with our old school we will simply be moving next door and working in cooperation with Aikido Eastside. Brian and Kaizen actually continued the original Bear Creek study group at Aikido Eastside back in 2002 and 2003. So this move is a completing of the circle and a returning to where it started for us at Systema NW. Especially since Kaizen Taki has had a  close and on going relationship with Aikido Eastside since 1997. Brian King and Curt Boyle also trained under the excellent instruction of George Ledyard at Aikido Eastside prior to being exposed to Systema.

Systema NW would like to thank George Ledyard and the students of Aikido Eastside for their support in the past, present and the bright future to come. Thank You.

Also Systema NW (formally Bear Creak study group) must also thank Scott Meredith for originally bringing Systema as taught by Vladimir Vasiliev and Mikhail Ryabko to the Puget Sound area as the original  instructor of the Bear Creek Group. Scott exposed both Brian and Kaizen to their first Systema training and promptly got them both hooked forever. Plus Scott has continued to support Systema NW over the years in many ways. Thank You.

Lastly but definitely not least Systema NW would like to thank Vladimir Vasiliev, Mikhail Ryabko, plus all of the students and fellow instructors that have supported us over the years. We wouldn't exist without your support. Thank You. We hope that having multiple locations to train in different areas will allow more people the opportunity to be exposed to this unique and life changing training we call Systema.
