Episode 70: Peter Annazone

February 01, 2019

Fittingly for our 70th episode, this week we chat with Peter Annazone - US Marine, martial artist, and T'ai Ch'i / Systema Instructor - still teaching and practicing well into his 70s. Peter has been practicing martial arts for over 50 years, and Systema for the last 20. His quests for martial knowledge have taken him all over the world, and he has had the privilege of working with several genuine masters of T'ai Ch'i, Kungfu, and Systema.  Here, we talk about:



  • his experiences training T'ai Ch'i and Chigung in China
  • meeting Vladimir, Mikhail, and the Merrell brothers
  • the necessity of a relaxed approach - not just a relaxed body - in training
  • how adherence to Systema basics confers health and healing for life
