Combat Systema: Volume 6

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 Fighting Multiple Opponents is based on the Systema multiplicity principle wherein a fighter always tackles plural engagements with elliptical, figure-eight strikes, moving from one attacker to another. Taking the tactical approach from pure Russian Systema – preemption, detection, and cracking of the mob – Secours then focuses on the structure of the attackers' group and the dynamics of the real-world encounters. From verbal de-escalation, shielding drills, striking drills, and counterstrikes to multi-line defenses, anti-grappling, and tactics for protecting friends, this video delivers a coherent system of surviving an attack by multiple opponents.
