"When you play at an elite level, you always know that there is someone better out there. And you're going to run into them. If you don't have another set of toolboxes you can reach into, then...you've already lost."

Extended interview with world-renowned Systema Instructor Martin Wheeler, recorded prior to our seminar in North Carolina in October 2017.

Here, Martin reflects on a wide range of topics, including his first experience of working with Vladimir Vasiliev ("I meet this guy who...takes me apart in seconds, and was laughing and talking to someone else at the same time"; on training with martial greats like Marc Denny, Rigan Machado and Dan Inosanto; on pathways to enhanced performance; and the surprising benefits of sleep.
