| Origins of the Russian combat art The Russian people have a long history in the art of fighting. Systema can be traced back to the martial culture of the Slavic people. People who believe in goodness, mercy and humility. Those qualities characterize the Russian nation, whose martial culture is one of the unsolved mysteries of native and world history at present. Until recently, not many people have heard of the Russian Martial Art, whose history dates back to the 10th century. It existed as a form of combat training for young warriors trained in monasteries of Russian Orthodox Church and was passed throughout many generations. Many victories were won using these unique skills while defending the Fatherland. Russian warriors had to learn to use their surrounding environment, the art of camouflage, conventional and improvised weapons. That is where, even today, lies the difference between sport and combat art. This style is free and natural with no limitations other than the moral ones. It is based on instinctive reaction, the individual's strengths and characteristics and specifically designed for fast learning. |
| History The Russian style of martial art dates back to the 10th century. Throughout the history of this huge country, Russia had to repel invaders from the north, south, east, and west. All attackers brought their distinct styles of combat and weaponry. The battles took place on different terrain, during freezing winters and sweltering summer heat alike, with the Russians often greatly outnumbered by the enemy forces. As a result of these factors, the Russian warriors acquired a style that combined strong spirit with extremely innovative and versatile tactics that were at the same time practical, deadly, and effective against any type of enemy under any circumstances. The style was natural and free while having no strict rules, rigid structure or limitations (except for moral ones). All tactics were based on instinctive reactions, individual strengths and characteristics, specifically designed for fast learning. When the Communists came to power in 1917, they suppressed all national traditions. Those practicing the old style of fighting could be severely punished. At the same time, the authorities quickly realized how viable and devastating the original combat system was and reserved it just for a few Special Operations Units. In our schools and through the instructional materials, you will learn this fascinating style and see for yourself why Russian Systema is said to open a new page in the world of martial arts. |
