Combat Systema: Volume 3

Russian Systema traces its origins to various Cossack systems of the 10th century. When the Soviet government later commissioned the development of a research center for human maximization, the synthesized research in the Asian arts created systems of combat designed to meet the demands of the modern soldier. These combat systems included sport sambo, combat sambo, and Samoz, which later evolved into Systema.

The Combat Systema approach outlined in this video series was created by Kevin Secours, after years of high-level study under top Russian masters. It is defined by a scientific approach to biomechanics, breath training, and combat psychology. The continuous use of pressure testing to measure and refine those attributes, combined with continued ¬research in human performance, has helped shaped the most complete solution possible for the needs of the modern practitioner.

Combat Systema: The Russian Martial Art of Ground Combat focuses on the essential concepts, tactics, and strategies for surviving a ground fight. From body screws, tactical stands, and ground movement to counter takedowns, the guillotine, arm chokes, and defenses against multiple attackers, Secours' ground combat system establishes a middle ground, focusing not on taking the fight to the ground but rather on preparing for the worst, becoming familiar with the unique demands of ground fighting, and developing reliable skills for forcing the fight back to a standing position. Secours strongly believes that ground fighting must be factored into any reality-based self-defense training. This video shows you how to make the most of your ground training.
