 It's a hand-to-hand militar combat system used by the special forces of the russian army (Spetsnaz) and by different soviet securities (FSB, ex KGB). It was kept secret until the fall of the Berlin Wall and only in 1998 it has crossed the threshold of the ex-soviet union.
This kind of training combines a strong individual spirit with extremely versatile techniques, that are studied to be effective in every situation and against every enemy. The training aims at promoting at the same time an increase at a physical, mental an emotional level by controlling fear, pain endurance and spontaneously increasing awareness and perception.
The different techniques are based on instinctive reactions, on individual capability but also on physical and psychic limits that a person has. Systema is a particular mix of movements, in fact there is no distinction among save, blows and grips because every movement is multifunctional and so it is difficult to predict. Systema is a simple, innovative and complete self-defence method.
It can be practised by everyone, men, women, children, elderly persons, disabled and obviously by soldiers and private or public security officers. It prepares you to face concrete situations, that can occur in everyday life, such as how you must react in different situations when you are threatened by a weapon or attacked in your car or even on the stairs in the main door.
In this method are considered the real defensive aspects. Systema is effective because there is no difference in using hands, feet or other things to defend. This method is based on physic elements and theorem concerning biomechanics. This is not only applied to the human body, but also to the objects present in our everyday life and can be very useful in case of self-defence.
In Systema there are no fixed positions, you fight and defend depending on the circumstances and using everything you have. In fact, a really important part is dedicated to the defence with common object against an enemy armed with a knife or a gun. A characteristic of the stunning technique of “russian style” is the use of “The Wave Principle” to create the energy of the body. This gives you the opportunity to obtain strong blows with strong penetration and you make not so much effort. The principle of principle defence is: you must not answer to force with force, but give to the force the right direction, making your enemy dismantle.
In the techniques it is taught to transform a common object in a weapon, it can be a stick, a pen, a book, a credit card, an umbrella, a handful of sand, everything around you is an invisible weapon for the enemy. Systema includes also the study and exercise in order to give first aid having at disposition few materials, how to practise acupuncture, how to use it and it is possible to control your own internal energy to survive to extreme situations until you reach an unconscious state that allows you to bear pain. You can also mentally and physically cancel out of the dangerous situations reacting without any inhibition due to an increase of adrenalin.
