So what exactly is Systema?

Question

Someone said it was like the Russian equivalent of Krav Maga, but I train in Krav Maga and from what I've seen of Systema they look very different.

Does anyone know more about it? Has anyone actually trained in it?

Answer 1

look it up on wikipedia i think i saw a fight on you tube ages ago it looked very interesting but i dont think it looked anything like krav maga when they say its like krav maga they probably mean its made for self defence on the street not that you anything similar.

Answer 2
