Coquille Martial Arts hosted a summer invitational tournament last weekend.

The event included nearly 30 competitors, ages 5 to 51, from Coquille Martial Arts, Henderson’s Shorin Ryu and Empire Tang Soo Do of Empire, and Reiss’s East West Karate from Coos Bay.

Following the event, the school hosted a four-hour systema workshop taught by a visiting instructor from Eugene. Systema is a Russian martial art that focuses on breathing, posture, movement and relaxation. Drills included learning to relax the body to release it from being pinned, and learning to relax while moving through obstacles while blindfolded. Another workshop will be held later this fall.
