Systema

Systema Clubs
in Peterborough

Systema (“The System”): This is an art of Russian origin, it has no pre-defined moves, kata, rankings, or sport application. It works instead on the basis of the breathing, movement, form and lastly technique.

From wiki “..is a Russian martial art. It is designed to be highly adaptive and practical, training using drills and sparring instead of set kata. It focuses mainly on controlling the six body levers (elbows, neck, knees, waist, ankles, and shoulders) through pressure point application, striking and weapon applications. Systema is often advertised as being a martial art employed by some Russian Spetsnaz units.”

It is common to see “Russian Martial Arts” used, although that can lead to some confusion. Perhaps thinking of the name “Systema” as a similar generic title comparable to “Kung Fu” for the Chinese martial Arts. Most probably, the name Systema could have been taken from the name given in Russia to a similar martial art before that, the Systema Rukopashnogo Boya (System of hand-to-hand combat).
