I have over 35 years experience in martial arts and have been in dozens of "real world" experiences all over the world. I went to Toronto to see Systema in person, and I can tell you that it is the most brilliant, most effective fighting system I have ever seen. I dare any tough talking naysayer to go to Toronto and try ANYTHING on Vladimir Vasiliev, or any of his instructors or senieor students, and I'll see you in the hospital and even bring you flowers.

This is the first systema video I have seen that actually looks good. I practice Wing Chun and I can tell you first hand these short techniques do work. And about the "using the other arm", I have seen proof that without training you cannot switch focus between arms quickly. Most times when some grabs hold of one of your arms, you tense up and focus on it, and by the time your brain gives the order to the other one, you definitely will be in the floor.

I've trained with George and many of the best MMA fighters for many years...this is old footage....good techniques but George is more skilled and effecient now than than.....I can tell some of this is a little showy because people like it and he has those abilities....but he is really direct and powerful...and get's more so every year

just learn some jiui jitsu

Great defense techniques, but that audio track is nauseating. George looks relaxed and smooth, but that "singer" sounds very tense and ragged.

@teenkaasje man you must have no life.

Garbage, all staged attacks.

I know George. He is the real deal. Systema is kind of hard to get the hang of at first, seems gimmicky, and these are demos, but he is very fast and accurate. These moves are not faked.

The UFC isn't just MT and BJJ. Those are the most common striking and grappling arts, but plenty of guys still use American style wrestling, Greko, Boxing, and Karate. Hell, the 205 champion is a Karate grand master.

Anyone here remember the first UFC? They took dirreent systems and put them against each other. Now the UFC is just MMA involving Muay Thai and BJJ. I wish there was a forum for Systema, Aikido, Gung Fu and other exotic systems. I guess UFC solidified that MT and BJJ are pretty much the top of the food chain in martial arts, but I'd love to see a systema and krav maga fight only to see the effectiveness of their diferences and to see whether or not it would revert to basic kickboxing and BJJ
The first throws look just like any run-of-the-mill jiu-jitsu or something, not like improvised movements. And why is the attacker offering him his hand? :)
