On Friday, August 20th, Glenn Murphy was upgraded to the rank of Systema Instructor by Vladimir Vasiliev. This promotion was granted after a week of intensive physical training during the 2010 Systema Summit of Masters seminar.

With this promotion, Glenn becomes only the second person in the state of NC to hold the title of Systema Instructor. Glenn has been training in Systema for over 5 years and has served as an Instructor-in-Training for the past two years. During that time he has traveled extensively to seek out the best instruction in order to hone his skills as a student and teacher. In addition to learning how to defend against armed or multiple attackers, Glenn has also dedicated a lot of study to the use of proper breathing in order to improve physical performance.

We are privileged to have Glenn as an instructor at Revolution Self Defense and this promotion supports what all of his students already know about his skill as a student and teacher. Please join me in Congratulating Glenn on this achievement!

Not only did the we celebrate our Nation's birthday this weekend, but exactly one year ago today Revolution Self Defense had it's first day of classes!

On July 6th 2009 our kids class had 3 students, Carter, Duke and Nick. Similarly our adults class also had only three students that evening, Mark, Coveny and Phillip. One year later the school is doing great, our kids and adults students look awesome and we have already had 2 members of our Adult's fight team compete in Muay Thai! Not to mention that our Systema classes are also going strong and we have added new classes to the schedule including MMA, sparring, grappling and even fitness bellydance classes for the ladies who are not as interested in learning how to beat people up : )

Thanks to all of our students and families that make Revolution Self Defense a great place to be.

This summer we have a lot of exciting new things in store at Revolution. Our new schedule started this week with awesome new classes! Our Karate Summer Camp is going to be starting in just a few weeks, if you have not registered we still have a very few spots left.

Check back with this page weekly to stay informed of all the new things we have going on.
