Systema: Russian Martial Art 25 Combat Drills Paperback – July 26, 2022

Do yourself a favor. This book, and it's companion volume, Systema Health: 25 Practises For A Lifetime Of Health, Fitness & Wellbeing, BELONG together. You might as well purchase them both at the same time. The 25 drills of one book support the 25 practices of the other, and vice versa. As a practitioner of Systema myself, I found both of these to very helpful. I like the idea of working on drills, from basic to advanced, keeping in mind that we should never really "outgrow" the basics. Matt does a great job of reminding the reader of that dictum. I like his teachings so much that I bought the Kindle versions of these books so I can more easily carry both books with me when I travel. I refer to them often, and I suggest that you will, too.

Informative a great addition to other training.

Systema is fascinating, and the books by this author are very helpful in learning the many aspects of this Martial Art. The videos are very well done and there is a lot of information to work through. I am finding that I use what I have learned as I go about my day, unlike more traditional Martial Arts, which don't seem to as easily transition from the dojo to the neighborhood.

Decent overview of principles but could have contained more applicable knowledge. I read the whole book in half an hour and I'm not sure if I learned something other martial arts haven't taught me yet.

This little ebook on the Russian martial art of System a is a very good book on learning the basic concepts of what this system teaches and you can apply it to any style that you want.

I've trained under Vlad and instructors for five years. This book is a great tool for instructors! It's also useful for students if you are training under a certified instructor.

It actually is less than worthless!1. It is mostly pictures that are really bad, out of focus, and you have no idea who is the attacker and what does the defender do2. It can be finished within half an hour, it filled with "brilliant" gems like: Try to maintain the key principals of walking!3. Most drills have web links! Again, this book conains web links!If you use this book as some sort of a manual, it would be suitable for todlers. It teaches you not to get punched and alst not to fear it

very good info that you may need
