Hmmm...the art has a spiritual side and focuses on a peak physical condition.I thought it was a secular practical mixed art sorta thing, like Krav maga.
I did some reseach, this here is more propaganda. Basically, Spetsnaz is a generic name given to a few dozen different special armies in russia, and NOT all of them were taught Systema AT ALL! Just the most important ones. So don't trust a teacher just because he was a spetznas! I only trust Mikhail Ryabko and the people whom he's personally apointed, such as Vladimir.. I like Riazanov too though..
@INDUSTRIAL3X yes basicly combat sambo but even combat sambo take to much from systema,in Russia not only one spetsnaz GRU Spetnaz is pure systema Millitary spetsnaz combat sambo or Korean style
id want to learn systema even if that ment i had to join the russian military. id cut my hair, get rid of my dreadlocks, and change my life and go to work with it. this martial art is amazing.
fortunately you don't have to they have systema intructors all over the world now
But really , I would say buy some of the DVD's and start a study group.That is the hardest part to get mature people to committed to a study group and then go to Canada and study with Vald.I hear his classes are very affordable
Apart from propaganda in favor of the russian-orthodox church this video contains some nice clips showing systema techniques. Effective though systema might be, I doubt it really dates back to former than 20th century. There are no facts presented in this video that hint to the origins of systema. I suspect it has been developed within the spetznaz units and based on several martial arts. Anybody who can present verfiable references on systema's origins is welcome to give me a hint.
@zumer29 study cossack history. especally ukrainian cossacks the zaporoje. they were the moste liberal warriors in the world and that's why the basics of systema rely on being free! hope i could help

bullshit for westerners. Systema was created in 50s XXcentury by Stalin's people which work with tai chi and baguazhang masters from china
