I am amazed at what I have learned from each Systema class. Breathing, relaxation, posture, striking, receiving strikes, the use of body mechanics to disable or control apponents with surprisingly little effort. Each is of paramount importance but when combined is a devestating martial art. The great thing is that so much of it can be integrated into our daily lives The ability to relieve or dissapate stress or tension iis so important to our emotional and physical existence simply cannot be overstated.
JR is a natural born instructor. The ability to impart knowledge is always a fine thing but to do it in such a way that the student is able to learn without feeling judged or intimidated, especially in the field of martial arts, is too often a rare commodity. Every single class is left with me glad I was there. Even though there are plenty of times " what the heck was I thinking" pops into my skull. The warmup stretches in themselves are an experience! It's good to learn what your body is able to do and yet see what is possible with the right training and personal effort.
I highly recommend JR to anyone interested in not only learning Systema but experiencing the many positive aspects it can bring to improve to their life.
I've been training with JR since 2010 and the experience has been very uplifting on many levels. It is very rare that you come across so much life-changing information that you can readily implement and see results so quickly.
For my fitness goals he's developed routines that allowed me to build the strength and develop the proper movement, etc. to achieve them. These routines (tailored to goals) along with JR's patient, non-judgemental approach and his emphasis on proper breathing, motion and posture really made me want to dig deeper and get better (without fear of getting hurt). I've quickly seen the results and felt the benefits.
On the martial arts side, I had trained in Hapkido before I started with JR. I liked it but I lacked the confidence for a real fighting situation. From the beginning I re-learned how to strike and kick more efficiently and effectively. I was introduced to Systema and its principles explained with JR's physiological understanding. I learned how to engage my opponent more effectively, identifying and exploiting weaknesses and taking away balance and 'disrupting' structure (I could go on and on here).
In a real fight, a lot of emphasis is placed on evasion but getting hit is almost inevitable, so learning how to deflect, absorb and deal with full-on body strikes was an absolute game changer for me. Over-coming my fears has boosted my confidence immensely. I've been very impressed by JR's depth of knowledge, his skill and remarkable ability to impart his knowledge.This training is simply amazing!
Sessions usually begin with breathing and stretching exercises worked into varying "routines"; it's always reassuring to see how they tie right in with the techniques to be covered. I enjoy a sense of overall bodily strength and 'sharpness'. Our mantras over the years have been "Good times" and "How hard could it be" which, I think, reflect an attitude where digging deep is fun. Gotta love ti!
My sister and i went for our first work out with Revezzo Training, I have to say we both loved being outside for the session and really enjoyed connecting with nature during our time there. We also really liked the training style of Jesus-he is motivating while still being understanding and gentle to different people's weakness or injury. The class flew by because we were enjoying ourselves! Haven't been to too many sessions where I could say "I wish it was longer" but this is one of them.
I'm writing this review days later, I can feel the work we did in new muscle groups thanks to the unique movements I haven't thought to do before. It's a great way to shake up your work out if you are sick of the same gym styled training!
I hear he can bring the work out to you with a mobile session! How cool!
Thanks Jesus we will be back!
