Vladimir Vasiliev is on my mind. I took an online class with him Tuesday. Valerie translated some difficult concepts and gave good insights and my brother Eric Torres helped with awesome demos. To tell the truth I wasn’t expecting much, it was an online class. I was just really happy to have a chance to see my teacher and friends. Well, I was just wrong. Vladimir has never ever even once not amazed me. Tuesday’s online class was no different. He shared several drills that are paradigm shifting. Since Tuesday I have trained approximately 10 hours. The stuff shared has completely restructured my practice. One drill that Vladimir showed impacted my taijiquan practice to a greater depth than anything else has done in a decade. Systema is the most revolutionary practice I know of after well over 40 years of training. And Vladimir is an absolute genius on breathing, moving and relaxing. He’s just the best.

Thank you to Vladimir Vasiliev for yesterday’s live interactive video training! Great inspiration and perfect content for these times. It’s also a great way to take part in live Toronto HQ training without having to get on a plane! Great to see Vladimir giving feedback to the participants from watching their video streams. Several great moments and a couple of highlights that stood out for me: Lie on the floor and move from the hips…how you may ask? The movement starts, physically at least, by relaxing your hips and then following that wave of relaxation into a full movement…the movement you can produce is so absolutely smooth by comparison…(well for me anyway). Then apply this approach to walking, raising a leg and so on…. A lot of the breath work emphasised being able to operate physically without allowing these stresses and tensions, from generating physical movements or being in certain positions, to disturb your breathing… Worth staying up for for those of us in Asia Pacific and I recommend joining the next one if you can ;))

I just want to say thank you to Vladimir
and Valerie Vasiliev for such a great online class on the 12th April. It was early in the morning for us in Japan but definitely worth it. 10 minutes into the class I felt completely energized and awake.
The session theme was about using breathing to melt tension and convert it into relaxation and power. By breathing out and relaxing it didn’t mean you shrank and collapsed but you actually felt fuller every time you breathed in and out. Just from this one class, I feel like I have enough homework for a year or two!
Although the class was online, Vladimir was as inspirational and awe inspiring as ever, mixed with some good humor. All of this is needed at a time like this. Honestly, the feeling after class I had was basically the same as being in one of Vladimir’s classes. Energized, inspired and happy.
Although for us in Japan it was early, I completely forgot about the time and just enjoyed it. It was also really nice as it was really quiet too. I highly recommend that anybody in Japan and around the world make the most of this opportunity. Essentially Vladimir teaching you in your living room. Can’t get better and more convenient than that! I’ll certainly be doing another one.
Thanks so much again to Vladimir, Valerie and, of course, Eric Torres and Natasha for the demonstrations.
Rob Cassels –
I really liked the halfway breathing. I have been doing virtually everything on the check list but the demonstration helped me to significantly refine my practice. In addition to watching lots of video I am rolling around the floor and over the furniture somewhat to my wife’s dismay. I miss training with my friends at the school and hope we can get together again soon. In the meantime, this is a great way to help us maintain a sense of connection. Thank you.
Gabriela Escobar –
Thank you for the video and for continuing to share your knowledge and wisdom with us at this time, since we are not able to attend any classes for now. I will start to incorporate these exercises (shown in the latest video) with my current routine, in order to continue training.
Cassidy Stone –
These classes are a great blessing. I am grateful the current state of the world has given me this great opportunity to train with Vladimir in a class setting without the need to leave my home and family. The teachings are powerful and deep, and the feedback is something you don’t get from the videos. This has been a truly valuable experience. Thank you.
Jim Bergdoll –
We’ve been taught that doing this press work literally squeezes the tension out of our bodies. This morning I woke up and for the first time in a long time, I had absolutely no tension that I needed to get rid of from a good night’s sleep. My body was not stiff, it was completely loose and limber from doing the fatigue and tension class last night. Please keep these coming!
Lukasz Lopata –
Virus is negative thing on one side but as everything it also has some positive aspects and one of them is for sure this live online classes. I am from Poland and going to Toronto is not possible at the moment but now i can really grasp at least a little experience from the master itself. For now i did all three breathing classes and the last one with structure. After any of this i feel conpletely refreshed and strong with great ideas to further work. Vladimir is an expert without any doubt in creating the feeling of good, strong and calm energy. What is also worth noticed is together with Valerie their both humble and warm character. Thank you and God Bless.
Niko Huffman –
Having you post the drills in the Zoom chat last week was GREAT. It allowed me to spend the entire time focusing on training rather than part of the time on taking notes on the drills. It is also very helpful to be able to watch Vladimir demonstrate the exercises himself, it helps to understand the proper way it should be done.
Dirk Handzic –
The online training with you the past weeks has really been fantastic and has given me new insights in Systema and myself. It is great to be able to see your work close up. The work with the stick was a great way to explore the concept of converting tension to power and to check oneself. The work with lightness and power was fantastic too. For me, it is perfect to train with you one day and try to pass on the new insights to my group in my own online classes during the following week. I am grateful for this situation and the new opportunities it has opened up. I have more time to train Systema now and to work manually rather than sitting behind a computer. Looking forward to the next class with you!
David Orman –
Thank you very much for putting the class on zoom. I thoroughly loved it and look forward to many more. It was simply spectacular.
G. Escobar –
I truly appreciate Vladimir taking the time to share his knowledge via live stream. I must be honest, I had no desire to attend any online classes because I feared there may be too many distractions, such as technical issues that may arise. I also find our training to be somewhat of a personal experience that involves positive energy that can only be felt in person with our playfulness. But it has been too long since I have attended a class, due to the “lockdown”, so I decided to finally try out an online class. Best decision I could have made. Vladimir always energizes me with his exercises and I always learn something new.
Debra Eklove –
The experience of the aspects of Systema breath, movement, structure and relaxation are fascinating. The overarching approach within which the power to fight effectively grows.
As a yoga teacher and dancer I see the similarities and differences to these arts.
Thank you for developing these programs.
Robert Inesta –
These online classes are amazing! I’m so grateful to Vladimir Vasiliev for sharing his knowledge and wisdom in this way. I always feel refreshed and energized after a session. It’s amazing to have access to these real-time classes from the convenience of home. The principles are so practical and so important for health and life in the modern world and have helped me tremendously. And the family classes and a must for children! I’m doing them with my 5 year old daughter and feel blessed she has the opportunity to learn directly from Vladimir in this way. Many thanks!!!

In Vladimir Vasiliev’s online session on Pillars of Systema-STRUCTURE, the feeling I felt on my body of being energized and relaxed was exactly the same experience I got at Toronto HQ.
What’s more surprising for me was that although this class was held online, I could feel as if I was training at Toronto HQ with Vladimir. The participants are able to feel the atmosphere that Vladimir creates in the class even from a distance, and that atmosphere allows participants to easily feel connected to the instruction given in class.
前回のヴラディミア・ヴァシリエフ師のオンラインクラスー「システマの柱‐構造」に参加した後の身体の充実感とリラックスした感覚は、トロント本部のクラスの後に感じられるものと同じでした。
それよりも増して驚きだったことは、オンラインクラスであったにも関わらずまるでトロント本部で練習しているような感覚になったことでした。ヴラディミア師が作るクラスの雰囲気をスクリーン越しであっても感じられ、それによってクラスでのトレーニングに集中できたのだと思います。
遠い距離であっても、このオンラインクラスはヴラディミア師とトレーニングでき、これは多くの知恵を直接マスターから学べる良い機会となると思います。
Jim Bergdoll –
I especially want to take a moment and thank you for mentioning prayer to God during these exercises. I have maintained ever since I started studying Systema that I feel sorry for those who may think this is simply another martial art. Anyone who thinks that is missing the point. This breathwork is a direct gift from God and a sign of His Mercy. I remain grateful.
Yuri Beskrovny –
Работать с дыханием очень интересно! В классе я лучше почувствовал связь между дыханием и расслаблением, после тренировки осталось ощущение лёгкости в теле и душевный подъем. Спасибо!
Dean Foster –
Thank you so much for last night class. After six knee surgeries and multiple injections to deal with substantial pain, after the class my knees haven’t felt this good in years. Truly a life changing session and a new path to freedom.
Antonio Lampreia –
The way Master Vladimir shared the teachings of healing were as usual genial. Eye section fascinating. Great energy! Sincere thanks!
Tom Ristimaki –
I have really been enjoying the recent online classes – thank you for offering them! I have participated in four of them so far and they were excellent, very patient and profound instruction in fundamental concepts, which I find very beneficial.

Robert Wilson –
I really appreciate the blend of developing sensitivity to energy while simultaneously under physical & mental stress. That training is absolutely priceless. I practice the methods from this online training, 2 or 3x per day. As long as you continue them, I’ll attend.
Kristen Lewis –
I invited an older friend, in his 60s, with several injuries to try the class yesterday on healing and the eyes. He had never done Systema and wondered if he would be able to do it. I spoke to him on the phone after and he was overjoyed. He connected deeply with the class and is excited about making these exercises part of his daily routine. Thank you for making this class available! The healing power of Systema continues to make me very grateful.
Gabriela Escobar –
The handgun solo training class was awesome. Vladimir covered a lot of content that included different ways to draw a gun (handling up to 2 guns at a time) and how to use a jacket to hide and distract someone from seeing the gun. As with all exercises different positions were considered and being relaxed was key. I learned to become comfortable with the gun in order to use it quickly and effectively (with no tension in my movements). I really enjoyed the class
