We are very much looking forward to our next annual all-island seminar, this year hosted in Wexford!
Our instructor for this year's seminar is Michal Okrajek of Systema Éire
With over two decades of experience across a range of martial arts and combat sports, Michal Okrajek’s journey began at the age of 14, studying styles such as Kyokushin Karate, Bujinkan Taijutsu, later on Muay Thai, and Judo, each one offering unique perspective of combat and the human body.
In 2015, he was introduced to , the ancient Russian Martial Art also known as 'Know Thyself'.
This discovery shifted his perception of martial arts and hand-to-hand combat. Unlike anything he had encountered before, Systema offered a holistic, intuitive approach that bridged the gap between physical technique, internal control, and psychological clarity.
In 2016, he travelled to Moscow to complete his instructor certification under Master Mikhail Ryabko at Systema HQ. Since then, he has continued training with some of the most respected teachers, including Vladimir Vasiliev, Daniil Ryabko, Vladimir Zaykowsky, Lev Ivanov, and Martin Wheeler, participating in international seminars and further deepening his understanding of the system.
Michal’s teaching focuses heavily on and , how our body and mind interact under stress, and how these principles apply not only in high-pressure scenarios, but in everyday life. For Michal, martial arts is not just about self-defense, it’s a path to , , and living with purpose.
