@tungusodessa Systema is a martial art system, not a style, It had it's own development, It isn't a mixture of styles. It has sambo in it. if you like to compare it. Systema was rediscovered to put it someway by the Spetnasz. Russian special forces. But it is a very old fighting discipline. It has more to do with good body mechanics, relaxation, attitude, psichology. In fact it shares a lot of things with chinese GongFu. Like tai chi and Wing Chun so to speak. Greetings from Mexico.

fuck guys, when you're fighting somebody are you all really concerned with all that watered down UFC stuff? don't get me wrong I love watching two grown men manhandle themselves in an octagon just as much as the next guy. If someone were to pin you chances are you'd get under their ribs or grind the hip bones togeather or just punch them in the dick if you've really got nothing left (only a small chance thats going to work though. :P) whatever. its just You Tube.

@TheDarceChoke : BJJ is overrated .. lol .. And those Darce chokes that Brandon Quick teaches are CRAP!! SYTEMA OWNS BJJ .. hands down ..

I think this guy watched a few judo and bjj videos and decided he could teach them in class, awful posture / balance, you'd get countered in all of these techniques with the least effort

[TheDarceChoke]

Terrible against BJJ, or Judo fighters u will die. But this I guess would give you the upper hand against a no skilled opponent on the street.

@BushidoCode72 I don't really worry about such matters. I am too interested in figuring out what aspects of these martial arts will bring out the best in myself and others. Systema does not focus on techniques as such, but on principles of movement in response to violence. Some things in BJJ fit that approach, and some things do not. The key difference between Systema and other martial arts is the approach to training: in Systema, the goal is *adaptability* to all kinds of problems.

[BushidoCode72]

@HughSlaman I actually trained in Systama and BJJ, and Sambo. I know Systema ground fighting looks different. I DO KNOW that Systema is different than BJJ and Sambo. But can you tell me with 100 percent confidence that the instructor in the video had ZERO BJJ or SAMBO or JUDO training? I doubt it. What if you turned on a BJJ video and they were clearly moving like Systema practitioners...against a knife attack for example. Andclaimed it was BJJ knife defenses? You would see through them right?

[HughSlaman]

@BushidoCode72 This is an independent art which is distinct from BJJ and Sambo. There will always be similarities, becase there are only so many ways to move and control human bodies on the ground.

[HughSlaman]

@BushidoCode72 Hey man, the two most well-known masters of Systema, Mikhail Ryabko and Vladimir Vasiliev, have had an open door policy on challenge matches for as long as they have been teaching. That means anyone can go in to their schools, ask for a test, and they will be granted a test in the form of a friendly (or maybe even not-so-friendly) sparring match. Why don't the UFC fighters have the balls to show up and test them out?.

My left ear enjoyed this seminar!

This is just americanized Systema IMO. Ground game in systema is more simular to Sambo not BJJ.

[BushidoCode72]

@stthomasaquarius  This guy must have watched some BJJ DVDs or had some BJJ training. It's Blue Belt level BJJ stuff. It is not Sambo and it is not Judo and it is not wrestling. I think he had some bjj grappling background and now connected that to Systema. Which , is great.
