I learn many new things every single time we have these discussions. I got a deeper understanding of how fear blocks intuition, how relaxation is related to power, the importance of tension-free shoulders, the benefits of breath holds, plus there are always many inspiring stories Vladimir shares! Great sessions. Thank you.
Rob Cassels –
Thank you for including me in the Sunday conversation. I always learn something. This time, one of the insights was from Vladimir’s story about Michael driving. It felt like excellent training both physically and mentally.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the recent Q&A session on August 24. It was a truly remarkable and inspiring experience. What impressed me most was the deep emphasis on developing sensitivity — the ability to perceive more clearly, to release tension, and to respond with calmness rather than force. This was such a simple yet profound reminder that even the smallest relaxation can change the way the whole body and mind function. It gave me many realizations that I can reflect on in my practice and daily life. The content of this session was so rich and meaningful that I felt it could almost be transcribed and published as a book. Every explanation carried subtle wisdom and provided invaluable lessons. It was not only educational but also inspiring on a deeper level. Thanks to this session, I was able to begin my day with clarity and strength, and it gave me inspiration and energy at the start of a new week. I am truly grateful for this opportunity, and for the timeless wisdom continually shared through Systema HQ Toronto.

I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to learn in such a warm, open, and generous environment. Many of the teachings touched me deeply, and I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation. One of the most meaningful points for me was the reminder that deep breathing and slow exercises provide a steady foundation for life-long practice. When Vladimir-sensei spoke about moving without skipping the difficult or sensitive segments, and keeping continuity through each joint, it immediately brought back memories of a webinar I attended with Mikhail-sensei. In that webinar, Mikhail-sensei often spoke about slow exercise practices—such as taking several minutes to complete a single roll, quiet walking, and gentle changes of direction—and explained how the body tends to rush through or skip over the difficult part. Yesterday’s teachings, together with those memories, reminded me how important it is to observe whether my movement stays smooth, connected, and unbroken. I will return to slow exercises with renewed attention and sincerity. There were also many valuable reminders for daily life: the importance of prayer, good posture, movements beginning from the fingertips, and even the simple practice of splashing cold water in the morning. Taken together, these teachings feel like one continuous path toward becoming a more attentive, balanced, and compassionate person. Yesterday’s Q&A also clarified many directions in my own training. When practicing alone, it is easy to lose the way. These sessions serve as a quiet compass, guiding me so that I do not wander off the path. For this guidance, I am truly thankful. Above all, I feel that the most important thing is to live out what has been given—to practice steadily, to remain humble and observant, and to aim to be better in each moment of daily life. Yesterday’s class reminded me of this essential truth, and I am deeply grateful.

This session offered a valuable opportunity to reflect quietly on the past year and on how Systema has been present in my daily life. Systema has consistently pointed me toward fundamentals—especially breathing, awareness, and the wholeness of the body. Rather than offering clear conclusions or fixed answers, it has repeatedly invited me to observe myself more honestly and patiently. Through each online class and every chance to engage with Systema, I can sense gradual change.

What impressed me most in today’s class was the quiet strength of inner calmness. The slow exercises, described as a way to nurture this calmness, were deeply meaningful. It reminded me how deeply connected breathing is to calmness and awarenessI will continue to include this awareness in my daily training.
