Systema is a Russian martial art which is mainly practiced by the Russian special forces, or Spetsnaz. It is a realistic combat style of fighting with real-life, rather than sport, application. It involves a unique high-speed elliptical open-hand striking system, kicking, and defense on the ground. Unlike many Asian styles, Systema has no predetermined fighting stances, but teaches you to defend yourself against attackers from any position. In addition, practitioners are trained in the use and disarming of weapons, including improvised weapons, as well as combat in non-traditional situations such as fighting from a chair or while in a car. Other courses in knife throwing, shovel fighting, executive protection and women's sex assault defense are also taught by trained Russian experts.
