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 Restraint and Control is the synthesis of Secours' decades of martial arts training and real-world encounters. According to Secours, training in restraint and control techniques is beneficial not only to law enforcement officers, but also to any citizen who is faced with a situation in which all-out force is not ideal or warranted. Secours presents this material in a very pragmatic and realistic way, teaching a foundational platform that allows you to choose the appropriate level of force to the threat. From solo to team intervention, takedowns, head control, and locks to ground control and resistance, improvised restraint, assist and escort, this video gives you an arsenal of less-lethal options to end an unwanted situation.
