Maison de la culture Paris

If you want to rub yourself into an unknown discipline, the Maison de la culture Armenian. Jérôme Kadian teaches Systema, a Russian martial art that looks almost like Asian disciplines. In the form, no salvation, tactics or figures imposed. This form of battle, which is more than ten centuries old and developed under the Soviet regime, could be akin to self-defence. Each struggle is different, the aim is to react in the most effective way possible: attacks and parades must be adapted to the situation and to the opponent. In addition to relaxation and breathing exercises, which are the basis of physical and mental mastery, the courses of Systema consist of learning to respond to all kinds of aggression, in combination or in three. The first test course is 5 €. At the year prices vary depending on the number of courses. Example: € 590 for 5 courses per week, € 480 for 1 to 3 courses per week.
