Re: [systema_group] Re: Current training in Chicago area

Hi,
 
One of the guys in our Portland, OR study group used to train Systema in Chicago with Ray Pohl, who's a certified instructor and has hosted seminars with Vlad.  I believe Ray is on the South Side.  If you can't find contact info for him, let me know and I'll get hold of our guy and see if he has his contact info.
 
Likewise, Al McLuckey (sp?) is a certified instructor with classes in Northern Indiana -- might be a bit far, but I'll bet he has Chicago area students.

Hello,
Sadly, the instructor of Systema Chicago, Arkadiy Stepankovskiy, is no
longer with us. I thought the school was going to try to continue, but
I guess they couldn't keep it up. I don't believe there is a Systema
school in Chicago anymore. I know that Dima Trumanov is very
experienced and I expected him to take Arkadiy's place as instructor.
You might try contacting him through the forum at
russianmartialart.com, send him a private message and ask if he knows
of a study group in the area that you could join. Also, one of our
former students at Fighthouse, Christopher Robinson, moved to Chicago
and might be interested in practicing Systema. But I don't know how to
get in touch with him, he travels a lot and might be hard to pin down.
If you cannot find an instructor or a study group, I would suggest you
start one of your own. Arkadiy had a number of students and it's likely
that they are still practicing somewhere, if they don't have a formal
group, I'm sure you could find some like-minded people to get together
and train. Worst-case scenario, buy some DVDs, get a friend, and try
practicing some of the exercises on your own. Better to have a veteran
student for some real-time guidance, but if you can't find one, you can
still learn a lot from the DVDs and a willing friend or two.
Good luck and *vsego nailuchshego* (best wishes),
Rachel
