Fitness Challenge

Fitness Challenge — Systems Training Center | Best Gym in South Bay It’s been a long two years and many of us have gained what has become known as “The COVID-15”; approximately 15 lbs. Many have also waited until the end of the year to start the New Year fresh!  Starting a new health journey is hard. It’s difficult for those who have never done anything

As the year comes to an end, we are thrilled to announce our first event for January 2022: KIDS WARRIOR CEREMONY!

This will be an exciting event where the kids will get the opportunity to show their progress. Students who have shown exemplary growth and mastery of specific skills will be promoted to the next rank. All three disciplines (BJJ, Ninja and Kickboxing) will have an exhibition in which your child will show off their skills!

The Exhibition and Promotion Ceremony will be on January 29th, 2022. We will NOT have regular kids classes that day. Kids from 4-7 years old will have a ceremony in the late morning, and kids 8-12 years old will have a ceremony in the early afternoon.

In order to run a smooth event, we need to know who will be able to attend so we are asking that you reserve your spot for this event in Zen Planner no later than January 08, 2022. One week before the event we will be running a rehearsal for the children to know exactly what to expect on the day of the exhibition.

If you have any questions about the event and how to reserve your spot, please speak with Coach Cherry. We will be sending out more details in the coming weeks. Thank you!

On December 10th, we will be hosting the Superbon Seminar from 6pm to 8pm. There is currently an Early Bird Special for Members of $149 and Nonmembers $199 which ends November 30th.

Spots are limited, so reserve your spot now!

Systems Training Center turns 8 years old!

"On July 1, 2013, we officially opened the doors as owners of Systems Training Center. I had a vision of what I wanted Systems to be and along the road, that vision has been modified and fine-tuned but I somewhere deep inside, I always knew what the vision was and it was this; Systems. Who we are today and who we are becoming. We’re not done growing and improving. Far from it.

We want more classes for you, we want new classes for you, we want to continue to grow and develop but we are going in the right direction, finally, after a crazy, nail-biting, palpitation-inducing, year! We are going in the right direction and we are both very positive and excited for what the future holds."

Best New Kids Classes in South Bay | Systems Training Center — Systems Training Center | Best Gym in South Bay

We are incredibly proud to introduce our Ninja Skillz program again! Ninja Skillz was a student and parent favorite at our Systems Training Center Westwood location. After a turbulent year, the Systems Training Center team has been determined to re-introduce the program, but this time in our Hawthorne location.

According to a 2020 comprehensive review, "High rates of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic symptoms were identified among children."

Movement (exercise) and social connection are two of the best ways to help improve your child’s mental health after a global crisis. Wendy Suzuki, a professor of Professor of Neural Science and Psychology at NYU states, “Exercise is the most transformative thing you can do for your brain today.”

So if you’re looking to help your child’s mental health, get them moving! The Systems Training Center Ninja Skillz program is a great way for children to get re-engaged with movement in a fun and dynamic class.

The program focuses on developing your child’s agility, balance, confidence and understanding how our bodies work biomechanically. These fundamental skills will develop the child’s overall solid base for athleticism and agility and thus, benefit them in other sports such as football, baseball, soccer and so on.

Your child will learn the necessary skills needed to have a solid background in tumbling and obstacle course racing. These skills include safety rolls, cartwheels, round-offs, walkovers and standing back-handsprings. Skills will build on themselves and they will advance when they have developed the strength, coordination, and flexibility to perform them safely.

Classes start 6/29/21 - Tuesday/Thursday
3:45pm-4:30pm -> 5-7 years olds
4:30pm-5:15pm -> 8-12 year olds
